Can I run any SOQL query?

Yes! Any valid SOQL query against standard or custom objects, respecting your field-level security.

Can I run existing Salesforce reports?

Yes — list all reports, then run any by ID. Returns full row data.

All queries are read-only and respect your Salesforce permissions. The SOQL tool only reads data — it cannot modify records.

Salesforce Analytics & SOQL MCP Tools for Claude Desktop (6)

These 6 tools become available when you connect Salesforce Analytics & SOQL to Claude Desktop via MCP:

sf_get_dashboard

Each component includes its type, header, data values, and the source report. Dashboards provide pre-built visual summaries. Get the dashboard ID from sf_list_dashboards. Use when the user asks "show me the sales dashboard" or wants a visual summary of specific metrics. Get all component data from a specific Salesforce dashboard — charts, metrics, and tables with their underlying data

sf_list_dashboards

Returns dashboard title, folder, last referenced date, and dashboard ID. Dashboards contain visual components (charts, tables, metrics) built from reports. Use to find dashboard IDs before fetching their component data with sf_get_dashboard. List available Salesforce dashboards with title, folder, and last referenced date to discover visualization assets

sf_list_reports

Returns report name, folder path, report format (Tabular/Summary/Matrix), last run date, and report ID. Use when the user asks about available reports, wants to find a specific one, or needs report IDs before running them with sf_run_report. List available Salesforce reports with name, folder, format, and last run date to discover reporting assets

sf_record_count

Returns the total number of records. Use for quick data volume checks: "how many leads do we have?", "total number of accounts", or capacity planning. Accepts any standard or custom object API name. Get the total record count for any Salesforce object — Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity, Case, or any custom object

sf_run_report

Get the report ID from sf_list_reports first. This is the read-only equivalent of clicking "Run Report" in the Salesforce UI. Returns up to 2000 rows. Use when the user asks for specific report data or wants to extract insights from a saved report. Execute a specific Salesforce report by ID and return its full data — all rows, columns, and groupings

sf_run_soql

This is the most powerful and flexible tool — you can query any standard or custom object, apply filters, use aggregate functions, and join related objects. Example: SELECT Id, Name, Amount, StageName FROM Opportunity WHERE StageName = 'Closed Won' AND Amount > 10000 LIMIT 10. Use when no other tool covers the specific data need, or when the user requests a custom query. Execute a raw SOQL query against your Salesforce org to retrieve any data from standard or custom objects

Salesforce Analytics & SOQL + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Salesforce Analytics & SOQL MCP Server with Claude Desktop.

How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully — if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL — Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
