Salesforce Agentforce just added new MCP and API tools. Get hands-on.
Salesforce just made their Agentforce platform agent-native! They've just added 60+ new MCP tools, 30+ preconfigured coding skills, a new Developer Edition, and Slackbot as one of many new control planes for their emerging agentic enterprise solution.
If you're a Salesforce admin, builder, or developer, this changes how your work happens. And if you don't have a mental model for it yet, you're not alone. Most Trailblazers are unfamiliar with MCPs and intimidated by APIs.
Salesforce's new Agentforce Vibes changes work gets done. Their new Headless 360 and Data 360 solutions change what the platform exposes.
This one-day workshop gets you hands-on with Salesforce's Systems of:
Context (Data 360)
Work (Customer 360)
Agency (Agentforce)
Engagement (Slack)
You will leave this workshop with agents running in your free Dev Org and the new Agentforce Lab Box org. You will have a working understanding of MCPs, Agent Script, and Agent Fabric. You'll also have an MCP + API + Voice Resources Guide to reference, along with Agentforce use case templates to help you build a multitude of agents across a multitude of industries and scenarios.

Prerequisites
A modern web browser
The recommended path runs entirely in Agentforce Vibes in the browser. Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox all work.
10 minutes of pre-work before Tuesday
Short pre-work modules walk through signing up for the free new Developer Edition so minute one is productive, not setup.
Salesforce familiarity helps but isn't required
If you can navigate Setup, you'll move fast. If you're newer, the browser-only path keeps you in step with the group.
