Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI-assisted development of MDK applications.
Most planning and project tracking work still happens through a UI a human drives. Mdk MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI-assisted development of MDK applications.
a. Use npm to install it from the public npmjs registry at @sap/mdk-mcp-server.
This open-source server provides AI agents with comprehensive MDK knowledge and tools. By combining best practice guidelines, project-aware context information, templates for creating new projects, and access to the MDK CLI tools, the MDK MCP server transforms AI agents into MDK development experts.
@sap/mdk-mcp-server on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:
scope — The scope of creation:templateType — The type of template to use (crud, list detail, base). Note: base template is only valid for project scopeoDataEntitySets — The OData entity sets relevant to the user prompt, separated by commasoffline — Whether to generate the project in offline mode (only applicable for project scope). Set to false unless offline is explicitly specified. |folderRootPath — The path of the current project root folder (not required for rule artifact type)pageType — Type of page page):controlType — The control type for databinding pages (required when pageType is databinding). Available types: ObjectTable, FormCell, KeyValue, ObjectHeaderlayoutType — The layout type for layout pages (required when pageType is layout). Available types: Section, BottomNavigation, FlexibleColumnLayoutactionType — The type of action (required when artifactType is action). Available types: CreateODataEntity, UpdateODataEntity, DeleteODataEntityquery — Search query for rule reference (required when artifactType is rule). Examples: get app name, handle form validation, navigate to page, etc. |operation — The operation to perform on the MDK project. Available operations:externals — Optional: Array of external package names to include in the deployment (e.g., [@nativescript/geolocation]). If not specified, will automatically readConfiguration is passed through the environment: GITHUB_TOKEN, SAP_UX_FIORI_TOOLS_DISABLE_TELEMETRY. 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.
SAPOfflineOData-xx.xx.xx-Tools.zip in the MDK SDK 3. Offline Store Files: A pair of .udb and .rq.udb files from your offline applicationPlenty of planning and project tracking 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. Mdk's toolset — scope, templateType, oDataEntitySets and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by SAP; 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.
