# How to Enable MuleSoft Vibes in VS Code > A step-by-step guide to turning on MuleSoft Vibes, the AI assistant, in VS Code: install the Anypoint Extension Pack, connect a free Salesforce Developer org, enable Agentforce, and start chatting. - **Author:** Alex Martinez - **Published:** Jul 21, 2026 - **Category:** Tutorials - **Tags:** MuleSoft, Anypoint Platform, Anypoint Code Builder, Salesforce, AI - **Source:** https://prostdev.com/post/enable-mulesoft-vibes-in-vs-code --- You installed the Anypoint Extension Pack, opened MuleSoft Vibes... and it just won't turn on. The AI features are greyed out, and logging in to Anypoint Platform doesn't seem to change anything. The catch: **MuleSoft Vibes needs a Salesforce org with Agentforce enabled behind it**, and that connection isn't set up for you. This guide walks through the whole thing end to end, from installing the extension to seeing *"How can I help you today?"* in your editor. No prior Salesforce setup required; we'll spin up a free Developer Edition org along the way. ## What you'll need - **Visual Studio Code** installed ([download it here](https://code.visualstudio.com/download)). - An **Anypoint Platform account** with admin permissions ([sign up for free](https://anypoint.mulesoft.com/login/signup)). - A **Salesforce Developer org**, or a few minutes to [create a free one](https://developer.salesforce.com/signup) (we'll do that here). ## Step 1: Install the Anypoint Extension Pack Open VS Code, go to the **Extensions** view, and search for `anypoint extension pack`. Install the **Anypoint Extension Pack**, and make sure it's published by **Salesforce**. ![The Anypoint Extension Pack listing in the VS Code Extensions marketplace, published by Salesforce, mid-install.](../../assets/blog/enable-mulesoft-vibes-in-vs-code-1.png) Once it finishes, you'll get two new icons in the VS Code activity bar. The first MuleSoft logo is **Anypoint Code Builder**. The second one is **MuleSoft Vibes**, the AI assistant we're here for. Click it, then click **Log In to Anypoint Platform** and follow the browser prompts to sign in. ![The MuleSoft Vibes welcome panel in VS Code showing a Log In to Anypoint Platform button.](../../assets/blog/enable-mulesoft-vibes-in-vs-code-2.png) At this point Vibes still won't have its AI features. That's expected; the rest of the setup happens in Anypoint Platform and Salesforce. ## Step 2: Enable Agentforce in Anypoint Platform Log in to **Anypoint Platform** in your browser and open **Anypoint Code Builder**. From there, select **Go to Access Management**. ![The Anypoint Code Builder landing page inside Anypoint Platform.](../../assets/blog/enable-mulesoft-vibes-in-vs-code-3.png) This will open **Access Management** in the **Salesforce** section. Find the **Accept** button to enable Agentforce for Anypoint Platform. ![The Access Management Salesforce section with the Enable Agentforce for Anypoint Platform panel and its Accept button.](../../assets/blog/enable-mulesoft-vibes-in-vs-code-4.png) After you click **Accept**, this will open the terms and conditions. Check the **I accept** checkbox and press **Accept** again. ![The Accept Terms for Agentforce in Anypoint Platform dialog with the I accept the terms and conditions checkbox and an Accept button.](../../assets/blog/enable-mulesoft-vibes-in-vs-code-5.png) To finish enabling everything, you'll need to connect a Salesforce org. If you don't have one, the next step creates a free one. ## Step 3: Create a free Salesforce Developer Edition org Head to [developer.salesforce.com](https://developer.salesforce.com) and open **Browse trials**. Pick **Get a Developer Edition**. It's free. Or you can go straight to the [sign-up link](https://www.salesforce.com/products/free-trial/developer/) directly. ![The Sign up for your Developer Edition form on Salesforce with name and email fields and a Sign me up button.](../../assets/blog/enable-mulesoft-vibes-in-vs-code-6.png) Fill in your details and click **Sign me up**. You'll get an email to set your password; once that's done, log in to your new org. Salesforce will send a verification code to your email; enter it, and you're in your Developer Edition org. ## Step 4: Turn on Agentforce and Einstein in Salesforce Click the gear icon and open **Setup**. ![The Salesforce Developer Edition home with the gear-icon menu open and Setup available.](../../assets/blog/enable-mulesoft-vibes-in-vs-code-7.png) In **Quick Find**, search for `agentforce`, open **Agentforce Agents**, and toggle **Agentforce** on. ![Salesforce Setup with agentforce in Quick Find and the Agentforce Agents page open.](../../assets/blog/enable-mulesoft-vibes-in-vs-code-8.png) While you're here, search for `einstein`, open **Einstein Setup**, and make sure **Turn on Einstein** is switched on too, just in case. ![The Einstein Setup page in Salesforce with the Turn on Einstein toggle.](../../assets/blog/enable-mulesoft-vibes-in-vs-code-9.png) ## Step 5: Connect Anypoint Platform to your Salesforce org Still in Salesforce Setup, search for `mulesoft` and open **MuleSoft Anypoint Platform Setup**. Click **Complete the Connection**. ![The MuleSoft Anypoint Platform Setup page in Salesforce with a Complete the Connection button.](../../assets/blog/enable-mulesoft-vibes-in-vs-code-10.jpg) Copy your **Salesforce org tenant key** from the dialog. ![The Connection to MuleSoft Anypoint Platform dialog showing the Salesforce org tenant key to copy.](../../assets/blog/enable-mulesoft-vibes-in-vs-code-11.jpg) Now switch back to **Anypoint Platform**, go to **Access Management** and the **Salesforce** section, and click **Add Salesforce Org**. Paste the tenant key you just copied. ![The Add Salesforce Org dialog in Anypoint Platform with a field for the Salesforce org tenant key.](../../assets/blog/enable-mulesoft-vibes-in-vs-code-12.jpg) > [!TIP] > If you see the error `An error occurred: Organization is not yet onboarded to GDoT`, don't panic. > Just wait a couple of minutes, refresh, and try again. It usually clears on its own. Give the org a name you'll recognize (I called mine `sfdevaccount`) and click **Add**. ![Naming the newly added Salesforce org in Anypoint Platform.](../../assets/blog/enable-mulesoft-vibes-in-vs-code-13.png) Anypoint Platform now gives you an **Anypoint Platform Org Key**. Copy it, go back to the Salesforce connection dialog, paste it into the **Anypoint Platform Organization ID** field, and click **Connect**. ![Pasting the Anypoint Platform Organization ID into the Salesforce connection dialog before clicking Connect.](../../assets/blog/enable-mulesoft-vibes-in-vs-code-14.jpg) After that, you should see a success message saying the MuleSoft connection was created. ## Step 6: Flip the final Agentforce toggle One last switch: on the MuleSoft Anypoint Platform Setup page you land on after the connection succeeds, under **Managed in Salesforce**, turn on **Enable Agentforce in Anypoint Platform**. ![The Enable Agentforce in Anypoint Platform toggle under Managed in Salesforce in Salesforce Setup.](../../assets/blog/enable-mulesoft-vibes-in-vs-code-15.jpg) That's the last piece. With this toggle on, Agentforce is enabled in Anypoint Platform and your Salesforce org is fully connected, so MuleSoft Vibes finally has everything it needs behind it. Time to head back to VS Code. ## Step 7: Use MuleSoft Vibes! Head back to VS Code and click **Try Again** on the MuleSoft Vibes panel (it might take a click or two while everything syncs). When it loads, you'll see **"How can I help you today?"** with suggested prompts. Vibes is live! 🎉 ![MuleSoft Vibes enabled in VS Code, showing How can I help you today with suggested prompts.](../../assets/blog/enable-mulesoft-vibes-in-vs-code-16.jpg) That's everything you need to enable MuleSoft Vibes from Anypoint Code Builder or VS Code. From here you can ask it about your APIs, list running applications, or have it help you deploy, all right inside your editor. --- ## FAQs ### Why won't MuleSoft Vibes turn on, with its AI features greyed out? MuleSoft Vibes needs a Salesforce org with Agentforce enabled behind it, and that connection isn't set up for you by default. Logging in to Anypoint Platform alone won't enable the AI features. You have to enable Agentforce in Anypoint Platform, connect a Salesforce org, and flip the final Agentforce toggle, as this guide walks through. ### Do I need a paid Salesforce org to use MuleSoft Vibes? No. A free Salesforce Developer Edition org works. If you don't already have one, you can create it for free at https://www.salesforce.com/products/free-trial/developer/, which this guide covers in Step 3. ### What's the difference between Anypoint Code Builder and MuleSoft Vibes in VS Code? After installing the Anypoint Extension Pack you get two new icons in the VS Code activity bar. The first MuleSoft logo is Anypoint Code Builder, and the second one is MuleSoft Vibes, the AI assistant this guide enables. ### I logged in to Anypoint Platform but Vibes still has no AI features. Is that normal? Yes, that's expected right after logging in. The rest of the setup happens in Anypoint Platform and Salesforce, so Vibes only gets its AI features once you've enabled Agentforce and connected a Salesforce org. ### How do I fix "An error occurred: Organization is not yet onboarded to GDoT" when adding my Salesforce org? This error appears when you add your Salesforce org in Anypoint Platform right after enabling Agentforce, because the org onboarding hasn't finished propagating yet. Wait a couple of minutes, refresh, and try adding the org again. It usually clears on its own.
