Accenture SFMC DevTools

Accenture Salesforce Marketing Cloud DevTools (mcdev) is a rapid deployment/rollout, backup and development tool for Salesforce Marketing Cloud. It allows you to retrieve and deploy configuration and code across Business Units and instances.

Quick start

Install

Starting with v10, mcdev requires Node.js ^22.22.2 || >=24.15.0: Node 22.22.2 or newer within Node 22, or Node 24.15.0 and newer. Node 20, 21, 23 and earlier patches of Node 22/24 are unsupported. Update terminal, CI/container and editor ESLint runtimes before migrating.

See Migrating to v10 for tooling changes, file-replacement behavior, script migration and asset regrouping.

Run the following to install Accenture SFMC DevTools on your computer:

npm install -g mcdev

VSCode Extension

We also provide a VSCode extension that integrates SFMC DevTools into your IDE. You can install it from the VSCode Marketplace.

Include in your package

First, install it as dependency:

npm install mcdev --save

You can then include it in your code with JavaScript/ES module imports:

import mcdev from 'mcdev';

That will load node_modules/mcdev/lib/index.js. It can make sense to directly include other files if you have a special scenario. We've done that in our example for retrieveChangelog.js or in more detail, in our child-project sfmc-devtools-copado to get full control over certain aspects.

Contribute

If you want to enhance Accenture SFMC DevTools you are welcome to fork the repo and create a pull request. Please understand that we will have to conduct a code review before accepting your changes.

More details on how to best do that are described in our wiki.

Run the full test suite with npm test. With no additional arguments, it uses mcdev's errors-only silent option and suppresses fixture/helper console.log diagnostics; existing console.error diagnostics and Mocha results remain visible. Supplying any arguments (for example npm test -- --grep "UTIL" or npm test -- test/util.test.js) retains normal mcdev logging, as do direct Mocha runs and the VS Code Mocha test adapter. Individual tests can still enable debug logging.
