Introduction

The Agentic B2C Developer Toolkit helps you and your AI assistant build, deploy, and operate Salesforce B2C Commerce from your terminal or IDE.

• B2C CLI — commands for cartridge deployment, jobs, sandboxes, Managed Runtime, WebDAV, and administration.
• MCP Server — documentation, skills, debugging, deployment, and B2C Commerce API access for your AI assistant.
• Agent Skills — B2C Commerce, B2C CLI, and Storefront Next guidance, included with the MCP or available as standalone plugins.
• IDE Extension — sandbox management, cartridge code sync, content libraries, SCAPI explorer, and a server-side script debugger.
• Tooling SDK — typed TypeScript APIs for custom integrations and automation.

CLI Install

npm

npm install -g @salesforce/b2c-cli

npx

npx @salesforce/b2c-cli --help

Homebrew

See the CLI Installation Guide for more options and Configuration to set up your projects and instances.

MCP Install

Choose your assistant. Use the B2C MCP plugin where supported.

Claude

Using Claude Desktop? See Claude Desktop (Cowork) setup.

Install the plugin Recommended

claude plugin marketplace add SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling
claude plugin install b2c-dx-mcp@b2c-developer-tooling

Start a new Claude Code session. To install for the current project only, run it from your project directory with --scope project.

Manual MCP setup

claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope user b2c-dx-mcp -- npx -y @salesforce/b2c-dx-mcp@latest

Start a new session. To configure the current project only, run it from your project directory with --scope project. See Claude Code MCP setup.

Codex/ChatGPT

Using the ChatGPT desktop app (ChatGPT Work)? See ChatGPT Work setup.

Install the plugin Recommended

codex plugin marketplace add SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling
codex plugin add b2c-dx-mcp@b2c-developer-tooling

Start a new Codex session in your project. Codex plugins also work in ChatGPT Work.

Manual MCP setup

codex mcp add b2c-dx-mcp -- npx -y @salesforce/b2c-dx-mcp@latest

Or add this to ~/.codex/config.toml (or $CODEX_HOME/config.toml if customized):

[mcp_servers.b2c-dx-mcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@salesforce/b2c-dx-mcp@latest"]

Start a new session. See Codex MCP configuration.

VS Code

Install in VS Code

Install the plugin Recommended

1. Open the Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P) and run Chat: Install Plugin from Source.
2. Enter SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling.
3. Select b2c-dx-mcp and follow the installation prompts.
4. Start a new chat in GitHub Copilot.

Manual MCP setup

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "b2c-dx-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@salesforce/b2c-dx-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

See VS Code MCP setup.

Copilot CLI setup

Cursor

Install in Cursor

Reload the MCP server in Cursor after installation.

Manual MCP setup

Add this to .cursor/mcp.json in your project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "b2c-dx-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@salesforce/b2c-dx-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

For all projects, use ~/.cursor/mcp.json instead.

See Cursor's MCP documentation.

OpenCode

Add this to opencode.json in your project:

{
  "mcp": {
    "b2c-dx-mcp": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["npx", "-y", "@salesforce/b2c-dx-mcp@latest"],
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Restart OpenCode. For all projects, use ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json. See OpenCode MCP setup.

Gemini

Run:

gemini mcp add --scope user b2c-dx-mcp -- npx -y @salesforce/b2c-dx-mcp@latest

Start a new Gemini CLI session. To configure the current project only, run it from your project directory with --scope project. See Gemini CLI MCP setup.

Start a new session in your project. For Copilot in VS Code, other clients, and manual setup, see installation. For Claude Desktop (Cowork) and the ChatGPT desktop app (ChatGPT Work), see Desktop Assistants.

Documentation and skills work immediately without B2C Commerce credentials. Connected tasks use your existing B2C configuration; code deploys and logs need only your instance hostname.

The MCP includes the B2C Commerce, B2C CLI, and Storefront Next skills from our agent skills plugins. No need to install those skills plugins separately.

IDE Extension Install

The Salesforce B2C Commerce IDE Extension brings sandbox management, code sync, content libraries, the SCAPI explorer, and a server-side debugger into VS Code, Cursor, and other compatible editors. Open the Extensions view in your editor and search for Salesforce B2C Commerce — VS Code installs from the Visual Studio Marketplace, while Cursor, VSCodium, Windsurf, and other VS Code–compatible editors install from the Open VSX Registry.

See the IDE Extension section for the full overview, installation, and configuration.

Connect to Your Instance

To start, all you need is your instance hostname, in a dw.json or .env in your project:

dw.json

{
  "hostname": "abcd-001.dx.commercecloud.salesforce.com"
}

.env

SFCC_SERVER=abcd-001.dx.commercecloud.salesforce.com

Then deploy code or read logs. The first time, your browser opens so you can sign in with your Account Manager account:

b2c code deploy
b2c logs get

Add more as you need it:
