Research direction
Start with the sf-mcp-server:sf-deploy-metadata entry point and reproduce the deployment using the JWT-based credentials described in the issue. Trace whether the tool exposes or selects a SOAP versus REST transport; done means metadata deployment works with this authentication setup or the limitation and supported configuration are clearly documented.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Hi, I was making some tests and was unable to deploy metadata using the mcp.
sf-mcp-server:sf-deploy-metadata (MCP)(usernameOrAlias: "coe", directory: "/workspace/account-field-project", manifest: "/workspace/account-field-project/package.xml")
⎿ Error: Failed to deploy metadata: SOAP API does not support JWT-based access tokens. You must disable the "Issue JSON Web Token (JWT)-based access tokens" setting in your Connected App or External Client App
Is there anyway to force rest api to be used, not sure why it is calling soap api.
