ADoor vs Salesforce
Salesforce is an enterprise CRM, and its Hosted MCP Servers let Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor act on behalf of authorized users. It already has field-level security and sharing rules, and its MCP tools respect them. ADoor, your data account, gives the same kind of narrow access to any team's data, set up from a chat, with approvals and short-lived CI access.
Where ADoor stands out
Set up from a chat
Salesforce Hosted MCP Servers are configured in your org and meant for customers with Flex Credits. In ADoor, you describe a list to ChatGPT and choose who sees which fields.
Approvals for agents and devices
In ADoor, a new assistant or device waits for your approval before it reaches anything.
Short-lived CI access
A GitHub Actions job gets ADoor access for 15 minutes by default, up to 30 days, with no stored secret.

ADoor
ADoor is your data account. You keep lists and tables in a workspace you own, personal or team: a reading list, an incident log, a list of customers. Describe what you want to keep track of and it's set up for you, with real Postgres underneath. Every person, app, assistant, device and job gets its own access.
- Assistants
- ChatGPT, Claude, Grok and Cursor connect through MCP with a sign-in.
- Apps and scripts
- An HTTP API with keys, running the same actions assistants use
- Access
- Per space, list or field, or just the entries where a field equals a value you choose. Reading, adding, editing and deleting entries, and changing a list's fields, are separate permissions. An assistant never gets more than the person who connected it.
- Approvals
- Agents ask for more access and you approve or deny. A new device signs in only after you approve it and choose its access.
- CI jobs
- GitHub Actions signs in with short-lived access, 15 minutes by default and up to 30 days, with no stored secret.
- Revoking
- Takes effect on the next request. What was already saved stays.
- History
- A history of changes, with who made each one and the before and after
- Underneath
- Standard Postgres
- Plans
- Free for 3 tables and 100 rows. Pro is $10 a month per workspace, with 1 GB of storage.

Which one should you use?
Use Salesforce when
you're running sales and service across a large company with an admin team.
- Field and record security. Field-level security and sharing rules are mature, and its MCP respects them.
- A full platform. Flows, Apex and Prompt Builder are available to MCP clients.
- Long field history. Field Audit Trail keeps history for up to 200 fields.
Use ADoor when
a team needs narrow access for people and assistants without a Salesforce project.
Technical
- A GitHub Actions job writes each migration's result to a Changes list with 15 minutes of access.
- A Cursor agent reads a Feature flags list and asks before editing.
Personal
- Family tree research: people, dates, sources and which cousin is checking which branch. Each cousin edits their own branch (one grant per person).
- An investment property's expenses, rent and repairs, shared with your accountant read-only.
Team
- Marketing keeps event leads in ADoor and sales reads them, without either side needing a Salesforce license.
- An assistant that summarizes feedback reads Comments and never Email.
Business
- Field technicians each see only the jobs with their name, from ChatGPT on their phones.
- A new device signs in only after you approve it, and revoking takes effect on the next request.
