MCP server for SAP ABAP ADT: full CRUD for RAP and classic ABAP, supporting SAP BTP ABAP Cloud and On-Premise ECC/S/4HANA with JWT/XSUAA and service-key auth.
GitHub source repository ↗
61FMRS · C
This server provides powerful CRUD capabilities for SAP ABAP systems, suitable for AI-assisted development, but requires secure configuration and careful oversight. It supports multiple authentication methods and three transports.
mcp-abap-adt is an MCP server for ABAP ADT in SAP ECC/S/4HANA (on-premise) and SAP BTP ABAP Cloud systems. It gives agents controlled access to real ABAP repositories through ADT, grounding analysis and changes in system data. It is built for AI-assisted pair programming, not autopilot vibe coding.

Setup
- Install the server and configurator globally:
npm install -g @mcp-abap-adt/coreandnpm install -g @mcp-abap-adt/configurator. - Use the configurator to auto-configure your client, e.g.,
mcp-conf --client cline --name abap --mcp TRIAL. - Or configure manually: set up a stdio server in your MCP client with command
mcp-abap-adtand configure environment variables (e.g., SAP_URL).
Refer to the official documentation for details.
Fit and risk
Not for
- Users without SAP systems
- Users who require read-only access (this server provides full CRUD)
- Users relying on unsupported authentication methods
Required permissions
- Requires access to the SAP system URL (SAP_URL)
- Requires authentication credentials: JWT token (XSUAA) or basic auth username/password
- Requires an ABAP client number (SAP_CLIENT)
- Requires transport request privileges for on-premise systems (SAP_MASTER_SYSTEM, SAP_RESPONSIBLE)
- Can create, read, update, and delete ABAP objects, so needs appropriate permissions in the ABAP system
Risks and side effects
- AI agents may unintentionally modify or delete ABAP objects if given overly broad permissions
- Exposed credentials (passwords, JWT tokens) may be leaked if not handled securely
- Frequent access to SAP systems could cause performance or lock issues
- Code generation quality may not meet production standards and requires human review
Troubleshooting
- Ensure SAP_URL is correct and accessible from the machine running the MCP server
- Verify authentication method: use XSUAA/JWT for BTP ABAP Cloud and basic for on-premise
- Check that the ABAP client number is correct
- Ensure sufficient transport request privileges for on-premise systems
- Read the authentication and configuration sections in the official documentation
