ABAP ADT (ABAP Development Tools) MCP Server for interacting with SAP systems
ABAP ADT (ABAP Development Tools) MCP Server for interacting with SAP systems. That is what the mcp abap adt mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
This guide is designed for beginners, so we'll walk through everything step-by-step. We'll cover:
The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:
GetProgram — Retrieve ABAP program source codeGetClass — Retrieve ABAP class source codeGetFunctionGroup — Retrieve ABAP Function Group source codeGetFunction — Retrieve ABAP Function Module source codeGetStructure — Retrieve ABAP StructureGetTable — Retrieve ABAP table structureGetTableContents — Retrieve contents of an ABAP tableGetCDSView — Retrieve CDS view (DDL source) source codeGetPackage — Retrieve ABAP package detailsGetTypeInfo — Retrieve ABAP type informationGetInclude — Retrieve ABAP include source codeSearchObject — Search for ABAP objects using quick searchInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at mcp-abap-adt on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Configuration is passed through the environment: SAP_URL, SAP_USERNAME, SAP_PASSWORD, SAP_CLIENT. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. MCP Abap Adt's toolset — GetProgram, GetClass, GetFunctionGroup and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by mario-andreschak; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
