How do I specify which org mcp can access?

Use the required `--orgs` flag with values such as `DEFAULT_TARGET_ORG`, `DEFAULT_TARGET_DEV_HUB`, `ALLOW_ALL_ORGS`, or a specific username/alias. Org must be authorized locally first.

Does mcp require any additional runtime or dependencies?

mcp is installed via `npx` from the `@salesforce/mcp` npm package. No extra runtime is needed beyond Node.js and a compatible MCP client.
