Questions about connecting Cursor to Salesforce

Updated August 26, 2026.

Does Cursor need a local MCP server?

No. ApexGenius is a hosted remote MCP server. Cursor connects over HTTP and authorizes in the browser, so there is nothing to run on your machine.

Can I keep production and a sandbox separate in Cursor?

Yes. Each org is its own Salesforce connection, and Cursor asks for the connection it should use, so a sandbox task cannot silently hit production.

How do I connect Cursor to Salesforce?

Connect Cursor to Salesforce through ApexGenius in three steps. Sign in to ApexGenius and connect Salesforce with Salesforce OAuth, choosing Production or Sandbox. Add ApexGenius to Cursor. Then open a task in Cursor and ask a question about your Salesforce. Start with a read, so nothing changes.

Is there a Salesforce MCP server for Cursor?

Yes. ApexGenius is an MCP server that Cursor connects to once. It carries your Salesforce connection and 21 Salesforce operations, so Cursor does not need a separate Salesforce integration or plugin. You set it up one time and add each agent the same way.

What can Cursor do in Salesforce once it is connected?

Cursor can run 21 Salesforce operations through ApexGenius: 11 reads that list connections and objects, describe the schema, query and search records, and check deployments, and 10 writes that create, update and delete records, run Apex, edit staged files and deploy metadata.

Can Cursor read my Salesforce org?

Yes, the org you authorize. Each org is its own Salesforce connection, Production or Sandbox, and you sign in with Salesforce OAuth. You can limit Cursor to one connection, to both, or to neither. ApexGenius keeps the org visible, so you can check which one Cursor is using.
