What is the MCP Adt MCP server?

MCP Adt MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on MCP Adt directly instead of describing what you should do. 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.

What the assistant can call

Once MCP Adt is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • get_program_source_mcp — Retrieve ABAP program source
  • get_class_source_mcp — Retrieve ABAP class source
  • get_function_group_source_mcp — Retrieve function group source
  • get_function_source_mcp — Retrieve function module source
  • get_include_source_mcp — Retrieve include source
  • get_interface_source_mcp — Retrieve interface source
  • get_structure_source_mcp — Retrieve structure definition
  • get_table_source_mcp — Retrieve table definition
  • get_table_contents_mcp — Fetch table data (max rows default 100)
  • get_package_structure_mcp — Retrieve package metadata
  • get_type_info_mcp — Retrieve type information
  • get_transaction_properties_mcp — Retrieve transaction properties

Setting it up

mcp on PyPI is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

Configuration and credentials

You will need one environment variable: SAP_JWT_TOKEN. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

  • 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)

Choosing this one

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 Adt's toolset — get_program_source_mcp, get_class_source_mcp, get_function_group_source_mcp and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by YahorNovik; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch MCP Adt.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the mcp adt mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects MCP Adt to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (get_program_source_mcp, get_class_source_mcp, get_function_group_source_mcp, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with MCP Adt directly.
