Unlocking The Future Of Application Development With Vibe Coding
Techstrong.ai, Friday, August 15th, 2025
Dan Fernandez, vice president of product for developer services at Salesforce, explains how vibecoding, in combination with the rise of the model context protocol (MCP), will transform application development.
Vibe coding, Fernandez explained, centers on describing what you want to build and letting AI handle much of the implementation. It can shorten time to value and open development to a wider range of contributors, from product managers to analysts. While this broadens participation, it also introduces risks, particularly when handling sensitive data. In the enterprise, security, governance and policies must be built into the process from the start.
MCP acts like a 'USB for services,' enabling AI tools to not only generate code but also take actions - running queries, calling APIs, or producing visualizations. This makes it easier to integrate existing enterprise services and intellectual property, provided role-based access control and compliance requirements are maintained.
