Salesforce ships Data 360 MCP in developer preview

Salesforce released its Data 360 MCP server as an open-source GitHub repository in Developer Preview, joining the wave of enterprise vendors launching official MCPs. The pitch is connecting LLMs to Salesforce data without hitting context window limits, which has been the practical blocker for large-org Salesforce automations. Different from existing community Salesforce MCP wrappers in that this comes from Salesforce themselves and is tuned for Data 360's federated schema rather than the core CRM tables. Worth watching if you're on Data 360 already, less interesting if you're just using Sales Cloud.
