Integrate Google's Antigravity Agent with Live Salesforce Data via CData Connect AI

Yazhini G

Leverage the CData Connect AI Remote MCP Server to enable Antigravity agents to securely access and act on live Salesforce data using the Model Context Protocol.

Antigravity is an AI-native development environment designed around autonomous and semi-autonomous agents. It allows developers to run agent-driven workflows directly inside the editor, combining planning, execution, and tool usage in a single interface.

By integrating Antigravity with CData Connect AI through the built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server, agents gain governed, real-time access to live Salesforce data. This enables Antigravity agents to explore schemas, query data, and perform actions without manual data movement or custom API wiring.

This article walks through configuring Salesforce connectivity in Connect AI, generating required access token, registering the CData MCP Server in Antigravity, and validating the integration by querying live Salesforce data from an agent-driven workflow.

About Salesforce Data Integration

Accessing and integrating live data from Salesforce has never been easier with CData. Customers rely on CData connectivity to:

Access to custom entities and fields means Salesforce users get access to all of Salesforce.
Create atomic and batch update operations.
Read, write, update, and delete their Salesforce data.
Leverage the latest Salesforce features and functionalities with support for SOAP API versions 30.0.
See improved performance based on SOQL support to push complex queries down to Salesforce servers.
Use SQL stored procedures to perform actions like creating, retrieving, aborting, and deleting jobs, uploading and downloading attachments and documents, and more.

Users frequently integrate Salesforce data with:

other ERPs, marketing automation, HCMs, and more.
preferred data tools like Power BI, Tableau, Looker, and more.
databases and data warehouses.

Getting Started

Step 1: Configure Salesforce connectivity for Antigravity

Connectivity to Salesforce from Antigravity is made possible through CData Connect AI's Remote MCP Server. To interact with Salesforce data from Antigravity, start by creating and configuring a Salesforce connection in CData Connect AI.

Log into Connect AI, click Sources, and then click Add Connection

Select Salesforce from the Add Connection panel

Salesforce uses OAuth to authenticate. Click "Sign in" to authenticate with Salesforce.
Navigate to the Permissions tab and update user-based permissions

Add a Personal Access Token

A Personal Access Token (PAT) is used to authenticate the connection to Connect AI from Antigravity. It is best practice to create a separate PAT for each integration to maintain granular access control.

Click the gear icon () at the top right of the Connect AI app to open Settings
On the Settings page, go to the Access Tokens section and click Create PAT
Give the PAT a descriptive name and click Create

Copy the token when displayed and store it securely. It will not be shown again

With the Salesforce connection configured and a PAT generated, Antigravity can now connect to Salesforce data through the CData MCP Server.

Step 2: Configure the CData MCP Server in Antigravity

Next, register the CData MCP Server in Antigravity. Antigravity reads MCP server definitions from a raw configuration file, allowing agents to dynamically discover and invoke the sources exposed by Connect AI.

Download the Antigravity desktop application and sign in using your Google account
During the initial setup flow, select Agent-driven development when prompted. This mode enables autonomous agents with tool execution capabilities
Once you have completed the Antigravity setup and the IDE is open, you can access the built-in agent interface to manage MCP servers. From the top menu, click Toggle Agent or press Ctrl + Alt + B to open the agent panel
Once the agent panel opens, click the "..." and select MCP Servers from the dropdown
Select Manage MCP Servers from the MCP Store, and click View raw config to open the MCP configuration file
Paste the following json into the file:
```
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "cdata-mcp": {
            "serverUrl": "https://mcp.cloud.cdata.com/mcp",
            "headers": {
                "Authorization": "Basic your_base64_encoded_email_PAT",
                "Content-Type": "application/json"
            }
        }
    }
}
		
```
Note: Antigravity will use Basic authentication with Connect AI. Combine your Connect AI user email and the PAT you created earlier and base64 encode the value. For example, given username and PAT like [email protected]:ABC123...XYZ789, the value for the Authorization header is something like: Basic dXNlckBteWRvbWFpbjphSzkvbVB4Mi9Rcjd2TjQvTHc4Qi96WTZqQzMvRnQ1SGcxL0RzMFVlL01iWHdKdg==
Save the configuration file
Return to the Manage MCP Servers view and click Refresh to load the new MCP server

Step 3: Query live Salesforce data from Antigravity agent

With the MCP server registered, Antigravity agents can now interact with your live data sources exposed by Connect AI to explore schemas and run queries.

Open the agent panel again using Toggle Agent
Start a new conversation in the agent chat
Start interacting with the agent by entering prompts such as:
- List all catalogs in my cdata-mcp connection.
- Show schemas and tables available for Salesforce.
- Query the top 3 records from a table in Salesforce data.

At this point, your Antigravity agent communicates with the CData Connect AI MCP Server and retrieves live Salesforce data through remote MCP tools.
