Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for how AI models connect to external systems and their tools. Use it when an agent needs a standardized way to call tools and reach data, either an Agentforce agent using a third-party service, or any AI agent calling Salesforce, instead of building a custom integration for each pairing. Do not use MCP for one agent handing work to another agent; that handoff is agent-to-agent (A2A).
