Hosted Salesforce MCP alternatives
Salesforce's DX MCP server is local-only. It runs over stdio and connects to your org from your own machine, with no managed remote endpoint. If you want a server you add by URL and authenticate over OAuth with nothing to run, you need a different product.
Every server here is hosted. Several are CRMs you reach by OAuth; the rest are project trackers for when work moved out of CRM. None carries Salesforce's developer org tooling, and the notes mark what each one actually does.
The 8 best hosted alternatives

Attio's official remote server connects to a CRM over OAuth to search, read, create, and update records, lists, and notes, a hosted, lighter CRM without SOQL or org management.

Close's remote server reads, creates, and updates leads, contacts, and deals over OAuth, a hosted sales CRM focused on the pipeline rather than a developer surface.
Set up Close → - HubSpotOfficial
Reaching a CRM over OAuth to search, read, and update records, the official HubSpot remote server is the broadest hosted CRM alternative with a record-centric API.
Set up HubSpot → - IntercomOfficial
Searching and reading conversations and contacts over OAuth, the official Intercom remote server is a hosted fit when the relationship is messaging and support rather than a sales org.

How to choose
Because Salesforce's server is local-only, the hosted route means a different product. For CRM records over OAuth, HubSpot is the broadest, with Attio, Close, and Intercom as lighter or support-leaning options. Atlassian, monday.com, Plane, and Shortcut cover project tracking when work left CRM. All connect by URL, but none carries Salesforce's metadata, org management, and LWC tooling, which stays a local developer surface.
FAQ
- Is the Salesforce MCP server hosted?
- No. Salesforce's DX server runs locally over stdio and connects to your org from your own machine, with no managed remote endpoint. To get a hosted CRM server you would move to a different product like HubSpot, Attio, or Close.
- Which hosted CRM is closest to Salesforce?
- HubSpot's official remote server is the broadest hosted CRM match: it searches, reads, and updates records over OAuth. Attio and Close are lighter and more sales-focused. None of them offers Salesforce's developer features like SOQL, metadata deploys, and LWC, which are not part of a hosted CRM.
