# Introduction

The Agentic B2C Developer Toolkit exposes the B2C Commerce platform as commands, MCP tools, and coding skills — so you and your AI agents can build, deploy, and operate storefronts from the terminal or directly inside your IDE. No clicking through Business Manager to deploy, no context-switching to run a job, no manual copy-paste when your agent needs to touch a live sandbox.

- **B2C CLI** — a single command for every workflow: cartridge deploys, jobs, ODS/MRT, WebDAV, site archives, SLAS, eCDN, Account Manager, CI/CD.
- **Agent Skills** — 30+ preconfigured skills that teach your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Agentforce Vibes, Copilot, Codex) how B2C Commerce works — SCAPI Custom APIs, SLAS, SFRA controllers and forms, ISML, Page Designer, hooks, custom objects — and which CLI commands to run when.
- **MCP Server** — a focused set of MCP tools that complement the CLI for agent-driven workflows.
- **VS Code Extension** *(Developer Preview)* — sandbox management, cartridge code sync, content libraries, SCAPI explorer, and a server-side script debugger right inside VS Code.
- **Tooling SDK** — everything the CLI does, available as a typed TypeScript SDK for custom integrations.

See the [CLI Installation Guide](./installation) for more installation options.

## Quick MCP Install

The B2C DX MCP Server enables AI assistants to help with B2C Commerce development tasks.

### Claude Code (Project Scope)

1. Open your project root in Claude Code.
2. Install the plugin marketplace entry:

```bash
claude plugin marketplace add SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling
claude plugin install b2c-dx-mcp --scope project
```

### Cursor (Project Scope)

1. Open your project root.
2. Create or edit `.cursor/mcp.json`.
3. Add this entry under `mcpServers` (merge with existing config, do not replace the full file):

```json
"b2c-dx-mcp": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "@salesforce/b2c-dx-mcp@latest", "--allow-non-ga-tools"]
}
```

### GitHub Copilot (Project Scope)

1. Open your project root.
2. Create or edit `.vscode/mcp.json`.
3. Add this entry under `servers` (merge with existing config, do not replace the full file):

```json
"b2c-dx-mcp": {
  "type": "stdio",
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "@salesforce/b2c-dx-mcp@latest", "--allow-non-ga-tools"]
}
```

See the [MCP Server Installation Guide](/mcp/installation) for full setup steps and troubleshooting.

## Quick VS Code Extension Install <Badge type="warning" text="Developer Preview" />

The B2C DX VS Code Extension brings sandbox management, code sync, content libraries, the SCAPI explorer, and a server-side debugger into VS Code. It isn't on the Marketplace yet — install the latest pre-built `.vsix` from GitHub.

<div v-if="!vsxRelease.unavailable">

Latest version: <strong>{{ vsxRelease.version }}</strong> · <a :href="vsxRelease.vsixDownloadUrl">Download {{ vsxRelease.vsixAssetName }}</a> · <a :href="vsxRelease.releasePageUrl">Release notes</a>

```bash
code --install-extension {{ vsxRelease.vsixAssetName }}
# or, in Cursor:
cursor --install-extension {{ vsxRelease.vsixAssetName }}
```

</div>
<div v-else>

The extension hasn't shipped a release yet. Browse the <a :href="vsxRelease.fallbackUrl">GitHub releases page</a> for `b2c-vs-extension@*` tags.

</div>

See the [VS Code Extension](/vscode-extension/) section for the full overview, [installation](/vscode-extension/installation), and [configuration](/vscode-extension/configuration).
