**What it does**
Sales Cloud's AI forecasting feature, analyzing past opportunities, account history, and activities plus rep win-rates to generate revenue predictions with confidence ranges. See 06-revops-infra.md for Salesforce's full platform entry (Agentforce, Hosted MCP Servers, enterprise-only MCP gate) - this entry covers only the forecasting-specific angle.

**AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it**
Genuine ML forecasting - distinguishes between existing opportunities, newly created ones, and early closures, and surfaces the key factors influencing each prediction rather than a single black-box number.

**RevOps role**
Native forecasting layer inside Salesforce's core CRM, an alternative to bolting on a third-party forecasting tool for orgs already paying for Unlimited Edition or the Einstein add-on.

**MCP server**

- **Status bucket**: No MCP found

- **Auth**: n/a

- **Parsed URLs**: 0 found in the mcp_url field

No server was found at the time of the check. That is a statement about the search, not a promise that none exists. The status was established on 2026-09-02.

mcp_status, verbatim from the file:

none-found (forecast-specific; general Salesforce MCP entry covered in 06-revops-infra.md - no forecasting-specific MCP tools or endpoints found distinct from that general server)

mcp_url, verbatim from the file:

none (forecast-specific)

**Command line**

- **Binary**: sf
- **Status**: official CLI, first party
- **Strongest evidence**: npm
- **Harvested**: 2026-09-27

Install, as the source shows it:

```
npm install -g @salesforce/cli
```

quoted from [https://www.npmjs.com/package/@salesforce/cli](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@salesforce/cli) on 2026-09-27, via npm

Packages seen, with the version on 2026-09-27:

- [npm: @salesforce/cli 2.151.7](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@salesforce/cli)

A CLI being listed means the harvest found an install command or a package on a stated date. Nobody has run it. Every command is quoted verbatim from the URL beneath it. Harvest date 2026-09-27.

**Access gate**

- **Gate bucket**: Enterprise only

- **Can a solo operator reach it**: Not without a contract

api_gate, verbatim from the file:

enterprise-only for this specific feature - Einstein Forecasting requires Sales Cloud Unlimited Edition or a Sales Cloud Einstein license add-on, on top of whatever gate applies to Salesforce's general API/MCP access.

**API documentation**

No documentation URL recorded.

727 of 1252 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank.

**GitHub health**

Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build.

The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale.

**On GitHub**

[github.com/salesforce](https://github.com/salesforce) tied to the vendor by rule 3, account website https://opensource.salesforce.com has the vendor's domain, confidence strong

- **Public repositories**: 150, forks excluded, as read on 2026-09-08
- **Mention MCP**: 0 of them
- **Look like CLIs**: 0 of them
- **Latest push**: 2026-09-08

Kind is a heuristic guessed from the repository name, topics and description, not a fact the vendor stated. A repository count is activity, not a verdict. Read 2026-09-08.

**Jobs it can do**

- [Read the pipeline forecast](../jobs/read-pipeline-forecast.md)

A job tag means the vendor says the tool does this. It is not a test result, not proof the capability is reachable through the tool's MCP server, and not proof it is available on the gate this entry records.

Tagged by machine-pass on 2026-08-25 against the closed 56 job vocabulary. 271 of 1,252 entries carry at least one tag; 849 tags are assigned in total.

**Sources**

1 source URL. Thin. The standing rule is at least two independent sources with the vendor's own site unable to be both of them, and this entry does not meet it. 100 entries are in the same state and they are listed on the methodology page. Raw sources field, verbatim:

**Notes, verbatim from the file**
Cross-reference only - do not duplicate the full Salesforce/Agentforce entry already researched in 06-revops-infra.md. 2026-09-02: re-checked with a web search; the only "Salesforce Einstein" MCP found is CData's third-party read-only JDBC connector for Einstein Analytics data, not the Forecasting feature, and salesforce.com and developer.salesforce.com returned 403 to fetches. none-found (forecast-specific) stands.
