abap-mcp — Read & inspect ABAP from Claude, Cursor & any MCP client

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects AI assistants (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, …) to a SAP system over the standard ADT (ABAP Development Tools) HTTP API. Your AI can search the repository, read source, run a syntax check, query tables and map where-used — all read-only, without leaving the chat.

No SDK bloat. Pure Python standard library — starts in seconds even behind aggressive corporate antivirus, and runs on any Python 3.x.

Why this exists

ABAP developers are the last ones to get good AI tooling. Copilots can write ABAP text, but they can't see your system. This bridges that gap using the same ADT REST API Eclipse uses — so it works against any modern SAP NetWeaver / S/4HANA system you can already reach.

It's the missing link between an LLM and a live SAP repository — as a safe, read-only lens.

Read-only by design

This server only reads. There are no write, activate, execute or modify tools — nothing it can do changes your system. Every call is a GET (or a read-only SELECT / syntax check). You can hand it to your AI and let it explore your system with zero risk of a change.

What it can do

• abap_ping — connectivity / auth check

• abap_search — find objects across the repository

• abap_read_class / abap_read_program / abap_read_include / abap_read_function / abap_read_uri — read source

• abap_ui5_list / abap_ui5_read — browse a UI5/BSP app (SAPUI5 ABAP Repository)

• abap_sql — read-only SELECT against tables (Data Preview)

• abap_syntax_check — validate a source without saving

• abap_where_used — where-used / blast radius via CROSS + WBCROSSGT

• smartform_info / sapscript_info — inspect forms

Setup (60 seconds)

git clone <repo>
cd abap-mcp
cp .env.example .env      # fill in host, client, user, password

.env:

SAP_BASE_URL=http://your-sap-host.example.com:8000
SAP_CLIENT=100
SAP_USER=YOUR_SAP_USER
SAP_PASSWD=YOUR_PASSWORD
SAP_LANG=EN

Register with Claude Code / Desktop:

claude mcp add abap-mcp --scope user -- python /path/to/server.py

Or in any MCP client, point it at python server.py over stdio.

Ask your assistant: "ping the SAP system and list all Z-classes whose name starts with ZCL_."

Requirements

• Python 3.8+ (no pip dependencies)

• Network access to a SAP system's ADT endpoint (/sap/bc/adt/*)

• A SAP user with read/display authorizations
