Requirements
Basic knowledge of Salesforce is required - you should know what objects, records, and fields are (Admin or Developer level)

A Claude AI subscription
Node.js and npm installed on Windows - required to install Claude Code CLI in Module 3
No prior experience with MCP, AI agents, or agentic Salesforce is required - this course starts from zero and builds up step by step
Description
The way you work in Salesforce is changing. This course shows you what comes next.
For years, Salesforce users have relied on a browser - navigating tabs, filling forms, and clicking through screens to get anything done. That era is ending. AI agents like Claude and Cursor can now connect directly to your Salesforce org through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and take action on your behalf - no browser required. This course teaches you exactly how that works, from the ground up.
Salesforce Headless 360: Zero to Hero is a hands-on, practical course designed for Salesforce developers and admins who want to stay ahead of the agentic AI revolution. You will go from understanding what MCP is, to connecting Claude AI and Cursor to a live Salesforce org, to building your own Custom MCP Server using Apex, to controlling everything from the Claude Code CLI - all in one course.
