Breaking the AI Interoperability Paradox
Salesforce is solving the critical challenge facing enterprise AI adoption—how to balance open innovation with enterprise-grade security. With its upcoming Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for Agentforce, Salesforce is creating the first truly open yet governed ecosystem for AI agent collaboration.
