Course Description
The way you work in Salesforce is changing. This course shows you what comes next.
For years, Salesforce users have relied on a browser — navigating tabs, filling forms, and clicking through screens to get anything done. That era is ending. AI agents like Claude and Cursor can now connect directly to your Salesforce org through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and take action on your behalf — no browser required. This course teaches you exactly how that works, from the ground up.
Salesforce Headless 360: Zero to Hero is a hands-on, practical course designed for Salesforce developers and admins who want to stay ahead of the agentic AI revolution. You will go from understanding what MCP is, to connecting Claude AI and Cursor to a live Salesforce org, to building your own Custom MCP Server using Apex, to controlling everything from the Claude Code CLI — all in one course.
Who This Course Is For
Salesforce developers who want to build AI-powered integrations using MCP
Salesforce admins who want to understand how AI agents interact with Salesforce data
Anyone exploring the Agentforce ecosystem and agentic AI in Salesforce
Developers already using Claude AI or Cursor who want to connect them to Salesforce
Salesforce professionals preparing for the future of headless, browser-free Salesforce interactions
Requirements
Basic understanding of Salesforce (Admin or Developer level)
A Salesforce Developer Edition or Sandbox org
A Claude AI subscription
Cursor AI installed
Node.js and npm installed on your computer (required for Claude Code CLI)
No prior experience with MCP or AI agent integration required — this course starts from zero
Why This Course
Model Context Protocol is not a future concept — Salesforce has already shipped it. MCP Servers are live in Salesforce Setup today. AI tools like Claude and Cursor already support MCP connections. The only thing missing is the knowledge of how to set it up, build on it, and do it securely. This course gives you all of that in one place.
By the end of this course you will have connected real AI agents to a live Salesforce org, built a working Custom MCP Server backed by Apex, and have a complete understanding of the 14 best practices that keep your MCP implementation secure, maintainable, and production-ready.
