SAP ADT Server

MCP server for SAP ABAP Development Tools (ADT) REST API. Enables AI assistants to read, create, and modify ABAP source code, inspect DDIC objects, execute SQL queries, manage transports, analyze traces, fetch short dumps, control the debugger, and more — across multiple SAP systems from a single server instance.

Prerequisites

• Node.js v18 or later
• SAP user with S_ADT_RES authorization for ADT resource access
• ICF services activated under /sap/bc/adt/ (via transaction SICF)
• Role SAP_BC_DWB_ABAPDEVELOPER or equivalent

Installation

git clone https://github.com/ethanhan2014/sap-adt-mcp.git
cd sap-adt-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Configuration

Option 1: Single system via .env

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env with your SAP system connection details:

SAP_HOSTNAME=your-sap-host.example.com
SAP_SYSNR=50
SAP_USERNAME=YOUR_USER
SAP_PASSWORD=YOUR_PASSWORD
SAP_CLIENT=001
SAP_LANGUAGE=EN

Variable	Description	Example
SAP_HOSTNAME	SAP system hostname	your-sap-host.example.com
SAP_SYSNR	System number (port = 443 + sysnr)	50 → port 44350
SAP_USERNAME	SAP user	DEVELOPER
SAP_PASSWORD	SAP password	secret
SAP_CLIENT	SAP client	001
SAP_LANGUAGE	Logon language (default: EN)	EN

Option 2: Multiple systems via systems.json

Create systems.json in the project root (see systems.json.example):

[
  {
    "id": "DEV",
    "hostname": "dev-system.sap.com",
    "sysnr": "50",
    "client": "001",
    "username": "YOUR_USER",
    "password": "YOUR_PASSWORD",
    "language": "EN"
  },
  {
    "id": "QA",
    "hostname": "qa-system.sap.com",
    "sysnr": "00",
    "client": "001",
    "authType": "certificate",
    "certThumbprint": "YOUR_CERT_THUMBPRINT",
    "language": "EN"
  }
]

When systems.json is present, .env is ignored for system configuration. The first system is the default. Use system_id on any tool call to target a specific system.

Supported auth types:

• basic (default) — username/password
• certificate — X.509 client certificate via certThumbprint

Usage

Claude Code

      "args": ["/path/to/sap-adt-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sap-adt": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/sap-adt-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
