SAP ADT MCP Server for Claude Code

An Eclipse plugin that connects Claude Code to your SAP system. It runs an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server inside Eclipse, giving Claude Code full access to your ABAP codebase — search, read, write, test, and activate objects, all from the command line.

What It Does

You install this plugin in Eclipse, connect it to your SAP system, and start the MCP server. Then Claude Code can talk directly to SAP — read your ABAP classes, modify source code, run unit tests, check syntax, create new objects, and more. No copy-pasting code back and forth.

Quick Start

1. Install the Plugin

Open Eclipse and go to Help → Install New Software...

Click Add... and enter:

• Name: SAP ADT MCP Server for Claude Code
• Location: https://yahornovik.github.io/sap-adt-mcp-server/

Check SAP ADT MCP Server for Claude Code, click Next → Finish, and restart Eclipse.

2. Open the View

Go to Window → Show View → Other..., find SAP ADT MCP Server for Claude Code and open it.

You'll see a panel with four buttons: Connect SAP, Start Server, Launch Claude Code, and Clear.

3. Connect to SAP

Click Connect SAP. A dialog appears — fill in:

Field	Example
SAP URL	https://your-sap-host:44300
User	DEVELOPER
Password	********
Client	100
Language	EN

The plugin logs into SAP via ADT REST APIs and registers all 15 tools. You'll see a confirmation message in the output area.

4. Start the MCP Server

Click Start Server. This starts a local HTTP server on port 3000 that speaks the MCP protocol. The plugin automatically writes the MCP configuration to ~/.claude.json under the mcpServers key, adding both the ADT server and the SAP documentation server (mcp-sap-docs). Any existing settings in ~/.claude.json are preserved.

5. Launch Claude Code

You have two options:

Option A — Click "Launch Claude Code" This opens the Eclipse Terminal view (or your system terminal) so you can run Claude right inside your IDE.

Option B — Run from any terminal

claude

The MCP config was already written in step 4, so Claude Code automatically picks up the SAP server. No extra flags needed.

What You Can Do

Once connected, Claude Code has access to these SAP tools:

Reading and Searching

Tool	What it does
sap_search	Search for ABAP objects by name pattern (e.g., "ZCL_", "ZSALES*")
sap_get_source	Read the source code of any program, class, interface, or function module
sap_object_structure	Get metadata — package, description, includes, methods, etc.
sap_usage_references	Find where an object is used (where-used list)
sap_inactive_objects	List all inactive objects for the current user
sap_abap_docu	Look up ABAP keyword documentation, class docs, function module docs

Writing and Modifying

Tool	What it does
sap_create_object	Create new programs, classes, interfaces, or function groups
sap_lock	Lock an object for editing
sap_set_source	Update the source code (handles lock, write, unlock, activate)
sap_unlock	Release an object lock
sap_activate	Activate objects to make changes effective

Testing and Quality

Tool	What it does
sap_syntax_check	Check syntax of an object
sap_run_unit_tests	Run ABAP Unit tests and return results
sap_atc_run	Run ATC code quality checks
sap_sql_query	Execute SQL queries against the database

Example Prompts

Once Claude Code is running with the SAP server:

> Search for all classes that start with ZCL_SALES

> Show me the source code of class ZCL_SALES_ORDER

> Create a new class ZCL_MY_HELPER in package $TMP with description "Utility class"

> Run unit tests for ZCL_SALES_ORDER

> Fix the syntax error in program ZSALES_REPORT and activate it

> Run ATC checks on ZCL_SALES_ORDER and fix any findings

> Find all programs that use function module BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2

Claude reads the code, makes changes, runs checks, and activates — all through the MCP tools.

SAP Documentation Search (Included Automatically)

When you start the MCP server, the plugin automatically configures mcp-sap-docs alongside the ADT server. No manual setup needed.

Your ~/.claude.json will contain:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sap-adt": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
    },
    "sap-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp-sap-docs.marianzeis.de/mcp"
    }
  }
}

This gives Claude Code access to:

• sap-adt — live SAP system (read/write code, run tests, activate, etc.)
• sap-docs — SAP Help Portal, SAP Community posts, ABAP language reference

If you already have sap-docs configured with a custom URL, it won't be overwritten.

Building from Source

git clone https://github.com/YahorNovik/sap-adt-mcp-server.git
cd sap-adt-mcp-server
mvn clean verify

The P2 update site is generated in com.sap.adt.mcp.server.site/target/repository/. Install from Eclipse: Help → Install New Software... → Add... → Local... and point to that directory.

Requirements

• Eclipse 2024-03 or newer (with ADT installed)
• Java 17+
• SAP system with ADT services enabled (/sap/bc/adt ICF nodes active)
• Claude Code CLI installed (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code)
