ABAPilot MCP Connector

Connects any MCP client — Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT — to a licensed ABAPilot backend running inside your SAP system (ECC 6.0 through on-premise S/4HANA).

This package is the free client-side connector. It contains no business logic: every operation executes inside SAP, gated by the /ABAPILOT/CONFIG whitelist, the calling user's own SAP authorizations, and logged to /ABAPILOT/AUDIT. A licensed ABAPilot backend (delivered as an ABAP transport into the /ABAPILOT/ namespace) is required — request a demo.

Quick start

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "abapilot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "abapilot"],
      "env": {
        "ABAPILOT_URL": "http://<sap-host>:<port>/sap/bc/ZABAPilot",
        "ABAPILOT_USER": "<sap-user>",
        "ABAPILOT_PASSWORD": "<sap-password>",
        "ABAPILOT_CLIENT": "100"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add the block above to your MCP client configuration (e.g. Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json). Your SAP credentials go only to your SAP system — never to us or to any third party.

Tools

Each tool maps 1:1 to a whitelisted endpoint of the ABAPilot dispatcher in your SAP system. The AI client supplies the reasoning; SAP supplies the data, always under the connecting user's own authorizations.

• sap_read_table_data — query SAP table rows with ABAP-style WHERE filtering
• sap_read_table_structure — field definitions, types and keys of a table
• sap_search_tables — find tables in the Data Dictionary by keyword
• sap_read_code — read ABAP source (programs, classes, function groups)
• sap_read_where_used — cross-reference lookup (what uses X / what does X use)
• sap_syntax_check — validate ABAP source against the system's release rules
• sap_read_dumps — ST22 runtime errors (short dumps)
• sap_read_jobs — SM37 background jobs, status and runtimes

The available endpoints are controlled by the /ABAPILOT/CONFIG whitelist in your system — remove an endpoint there and the corresponding tool stops working, no client change needed.
