- The local DX MCP server ends on November 2, 2026. Its README says so, but npm doesn't mark the package deprecated. Don't build new setups on it. The CLI, the sf-skills library and Hosted MCP Servers remain. Hosted MCP Servers run in the org and are billed in Flex Credits.
- sf-skills is Salesforce's own guidance for AI coding agents (its setup page points Cursor and Claude Code at it). Its
