# SAP ADT MCP 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
```bash
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`
```bash
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` |
| `CONFIG_PORT` | Config UI port (default: `8088`) | `8088` |
### Option 2: Multiple systems via `systems.json`
Create `systems.json` in the project root (see `systems.json.example`):
```json
[
{
"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"
},
{
"id": "CLOUD",
"hostname": "cloud-system.sap.com",
"port": 443,
"sysnr": "00",
"client": "001",
"username": "YOUR_USER",
"password": "YOUR_PASSWORD",
"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`
Custom port: set `"port": 443` to override the default port calculation (`443` + `sysnr`). Useful for SAP BTP or cloud systems that use standard HTTPS port 443.
### Option 3: Web Configuration UI
The server starts a built-in configuration UI on port **8088** (configurable via `CONFIG_PORT` env var). Open `http://localhost:8088` in your browser to:
- View all configured SAP systems
- Add, edit, and delete systems
- Test connectivity to each system
- Changes are saved to `systems.json` and applied live (no restart needed)
## Usage
### Claude Code
Add to `~/.claude.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"sap-adt": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/sap-adt-mcp/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
```
### Cline (VS Code)
Add to Cline MCP settings (`cline_mcp_settings.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"sap-adt": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/sap-adt-mcp/dist/index.js"],
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}
}
```
### Standalone
```bash
npm start
```
### Development (with MCP Inspector)
```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js
```
## Tech Stack
- TypeScript + Node.js
- MCP SDK (`@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`)
- Axios for HTTP
- SAP ADT REST API over HTTPS with Basic Auth or X.509 Certificate
