Native MCP server built in

Where each tool fits

Serpent and Salto solve different problems.

Salto governs config drift across many apps. Serpent handles Salesforce development, packaging, and releases, and the two run well together.

01

Config tool, not a package delivery platform

Salto handles metadata configuration drift across apps. It's not built for 1GP or 2GP packaging or AppExchange release workflows, Serpent is.

02

AI agents automate config, not code review

Salto's AI agents handle configuration tasks. Serpent's AI reviews every pull request for release risk before it ships.

03

No native MCP server

Salto has no published MCP integration today. Serpent connects directly to Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients.

04

Use both without conflict

Serpent and Salto solve different problems. Many teams run Salto for cross-app config governance and Serpent for Salesforce dev, packaging, and releases.
