ADT MCP Server

This repository provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for ABAP Development Tools (ADT), exposing various ABAP repository-read tools (program, class, function, include, interface, structure, table, where-used, etc.) over a standardized MCP interface.

🆕 Now includes SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) support with JWT authentication and service key utilities!

📚 Quick Start: See QUICK_START.md for immediate setup instructions.

🔌 Client Connections: See MCP_CLIENT_CONNECTIONS.md for connecting to Cline, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients.

📖 Documentation: Complete documentation is available in the doc/ folder.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9+

• pip (the Python package installer)

• A running SAP ABAP system with ADT services enabled

• A .env file in the project root with your SAP connection settings (see below)

Setup

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/<your-org>/<your-repo>.git
   cd <your-repo>

   Note: The MCP server can now be run from any directory, not just the project directory. See REMOTE_CONNECTION_GUIDE.md for details.

   Transport Options: The server supports multiple transport protocols: STDIO (default), SSE, and Streamable HTTP.

2. Create and activate a virtual environment

   python -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate   # Linux/macOS
   .\.venv\Scripts\activate  # Windows

3. Install dependencies

   pip install mcp "mcp[cli]"

   Then install:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Configure environment variables

   Copy the example .env.example to .env and fill in your SAP credentials:

   For On-Premise Systems (Basic Authentication)

   SAP_AUTH_TYPE=basic
   SAP_URL=https://my.sap.system:443
   SAP_CLIENT=100
   SAP_USER=YOUR_USER
   SAP_PASS=YOUR_PASS
   SAP_VERIFY_SSL=true
   
   # Optional timeout configuration (in seconds)
   SAP_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT=45                 # Default timeout (45 seconds)
   SAP_TIMEOUT_CSRF=15                    # CSRF token timeout (15 seconds)
   SAP_TIMEOUT_LONG=60                    # Long operations timeout (60 seconds)

   For BTP Systems (JWT Authentication)

   SAP_AUTH_TYPE=jwt
   SAP_URL=https://your-system.abap.region.hana.ondemand.com
   SAP_JWT_TOKEN=eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImp...
   SAP_VERIFY_SSL=true
   
   # Optional timeout configuration (in seconds)
   SAP_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT=45                 # Default timeout (45 seconds)
   SAP_TIMEOUT_CSRF=15                    # CSRF token timeout (15 seconds)
   SAP_TIMEOUT_LONG=60                    # Long operations timeout (60 seconds)

   💡 Tip: Use the included BTP utilities to generate .env files from service keys automatically!

🚀 BTP Integration

This server now includes comprehensive SAP BTP support with:

• JWT Token Authentication for BTP ABAP systems

• Service Key Parsing and analysis

• Automatic .env Generation from BTP service keys

• CLI Utility for easy configuration management

Quick BTP Setup

1. Download your service key from BTP cockpit

2. Generate .env file using the CLI utility:

   python btp_env_generator.py --service-key service-key.json --username your-user@company.com --prompt-password

3. Use the generated .env file in your project

For complete BTP integration details, see BTP_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md.

Troubleshooting

"MCP error -32000: Connection closed" Error

If you get this error when connecting from another directory:

1. Make sure you use the full path to the server:

   python /full/path/to/mcp-adt/mcp_server.py

2. Check MCP client configuration:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "adt-server": {
         "command": "python",
         "args": ["/full/path/to/mcp-adt/mcp_server.py"]
       }
     }
   }

3. Run connection test:

   python /path/to/mcp-adt/test_remote_connection.py

4. Check logs:

   • Log file is created in project directory: mcp_server.log

   • Check for import or configuration errors

Other Common Issues

• ModuleNotFoundError: Make sure all dependencies are installed: pip install -r requirements.txt

• .env file issues: File is automatically searched in project directory

• Permission issues: On Linux/macOS you may need chmod +x mcp_server.py
