🚀 SAP Datasphere MCP Server

Production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to seamlessly interact with SAP Datasphere environments for real tenant data discovery, metadata exploration, analytics operations, ETL data extraction, database user management, data lineage analysis, and column-level data profiling.

🚀 Quick Start

Option 1: Install via npm (Recommended for Node.js/Claude Desktop)

# Install globally
npm install -g @mariodefe/sap-datasphere-mcp

# Run the server
npx @mariodefe/sap-datasphere-mcp

Option 2: Install via PyPI (Python)

# Install from PyPI
pip install sap-datasphere-mcp

# Run the server
sap-datasphere-mcp

See Getting Started Guide for complete setup instructions.

✨ What's New in v1.1.0

🌐 Streamable HTTP Transport — the server now speaks MCP over HTTP as well as stdio, so you can run it as a long-lived service (Docker, ECS, App Runner, behind a reverse proxy) and point multiple clients at the same instance.

Highlights

✅ New --transport http flag — serves MCP Streamable HTTP (spec 2025-03-26) at /mcp, replacing the legacy SSE dual-endpoint dance with a single HTTP route.
✅ Backward compatible — stdio is still the default; existing Claude Desktop / Claude Code configs keep working with zero changes.
✅ Optional bearer-token auth — enable via --auth-token or MCP_HTTP_AUTH_TOKEN. The server warns if bound to a non-loopback interface without one.
✅ /health endpoint — plain JSON liveness probe for load balancers and uptime checks.
✅ Fixed async entry point — new main_sync() wraps asyncio.run(main()) so the console script works reliably on macOS and Linux.

Usage

# stdio (default, unchanged)
sap-datasphere-mcp

# Streamable HTTP on http://127.0.0.1:8080/mcp
sap-datasphere-mcp --transport http --port 8080

# Exposed on LAN with bearer-token auth
MCP_HTTP_AUTH_TOKEN=$(openssl rand -hex 32) \
  sap-datasphere-mcp --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080

# Via env vars only (great for Docker / ECS)
MCP_TRANSPORT=http MCP_HTTP_PORT=8080 \
MCP_HTTP_AUTH_TOKEN=$MY_TOKEN \
  sap-datasphere-mcp

Install with HTTP extras

pip install 'sap-datasphere-mcp[http]'   # adds starlette + uvicorn
# or
uv tool install 'sap-datasphere-mcp[http]' --python 3.12

Client call example

curl -N -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8080/mcp/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize",
       "params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26",
                 "capabilities":{},
                 "clientInfo":{"name":"curl","version":"0"}}}'

CLI / env reference

Flag	Env var	Default	Purpose
`--transport`	`MCP_TRANSPORT`	`stdio`	`stdio` or `http`
`--host`	`MCP_HTTP_HOST`	`127.0.0.1`	Bind address in HTTP mode
`--port`	`MCP_HTTP_PORT`	`8080`	Bind port in HTTP mode
`--path`	`MCP_HTTP_PATH`	`/mcp`	URL path for the MCP endpoint
`--auth-token`	`MCP_HTTP_AUTH_TOKEN`	(none)	Require `Authorization: Bearer <token>`

See PR #31 for implementation details.

✨ What's New in v1.0.9

Enhanced Aggregation & Improved Logging - Production-ready smart query enhancements:

v1.0.9 - Smart Query Enhancements:

✅ Simple Aggregation Support - Queries like SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table now work correctly
- Support for aggregations without GROUP BY (returns single row)
- Enhanced regex to handle ORDER BY in GROUP BY queries
- Both simple and grouped aggregations fully supported
✅ Enhanced Asset Detection - Multi-strategy search reduces false warnings
- Exact name match + contains match for case-insensitive searches
- Graceful fallback for catalog API limitations
- Better handling of schema-prefixed views
✅ Improved Logging - Better user experience with clearer messages
- Info emoji (ℹ️) instead of warning emoji (⚠️) for non-critical messages
- More accurate descriptions ("not in catalog search" vs "not found")
- Actionable suggestions only when queries likely to fail

v1.0.8 - Critical Hotfix:

✅ Fixed aggregation fallback bug - Client-side aggregation now works in both primary and fallback paths

v1.0.7 - Smart Query Production Enhancements:

✅ Client-side aggregation for GROUP BY queries
✅ Asset capability detection
✅ Fuzzy table name matching
✅ LIMIT pushdown optimization

Result: 45 tools with production-ready smart query engine supporting all SQL patterns

🔐 Relational Query Tool (1 tool) - 100% Real Data ✅

Tool	Status	Description	Requires Consent
`execute_query`	✅ Real Data	Execute SQL queries on Datasphere tables/views with SQL→OData conversion	Yes (WRITE)

Example queries:

"Execute query: SELECT * FROM SAP_SC_FI_AM_FINTRANSACTIONS LIMIT 10"
"Query: SELECT customer_id, amount FROM SALES_ORDERS WHERE status = 'COMPLETED' LIMIT 50"
"Get data: SELECT * FROM SAP_SC_HR_V_Divisions"

Real Data Features:

SQL to OData Conversion: Automatically converts SQL queries to OData API calls
Relational Consumption API: /api/v1/datasphere/consumption/relational/{space_id}/{view_name}
Supported SQL Syntax:
- SELECT * or SELECT column1, column2 → OData $select
- WHERE conditions → OData $filter (basic conversion)
- LIMIT N → OData $top
Query Safety: Max 1000 rows, 60-second timeout
Error Handling: Helpful messages for table not found, parse errors, permission issues

SQL Conversion Examples:

SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE country = 'USA' LIMIT 10
→ GET /relational/SPACE/CUSTOMERS?$filter=country eq 'USA'&$top=10

SELECT customer_id, name FROM ORDERS LIMIT 20
→ GET /relational/SPACE/ORDERS?$select=customer_id,name&$top=20

Limitations:

No JOINs (OData single-table queries only)
Basic WHERE clause conversion (simple comparisons work)
No GROUP BY, ORDER BY (future enhancement)
Table/view names are case-sensitive

Status: ✅ Fully functional with real SAP Datasphere data! Tested and confirmed working.

Client-Side Aggregation: Full support for SQL aggregations when API doesn't support them
- Simple aggregations: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table (returns single row)
- GROUP BY aggregations: SELECT category, COUNT(*) FROM table GROUP BY category
- All aggregate functions: COUNT, SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX
Asset Capability Detection: Multi-strategy search to verify asset support before query execution
Enhanced Error Messages: Fuzzy table name matching with actionable suggestions
LIMIT Pushdown: Automatically converts SQL LIMIT to OData $top for optimal performance
Multi-Tier Fallback: Primary (analytical) → Fallback (relational + aggregation) → Helpful error

Query Types Supported:

-- Simple queries
SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 10

-- Simple aggregations (NEW in v1.0.9)
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table
SELECT COUNT(*), AVG(price), MAX(price) FROM table

-- GROUP BY aggregations

Edm.Boolean      → BOOLEAN

Endpoint Pattern:

GET /api/v1/datasphere/consumption/relational/{space}/{asset}               → List entities
GET /api/v1/datasphere/consumption/relational/{space}/{asset}/$metadata     → Get metadata
GET /api/v1/datasphere/consumption/relational/{space}/{asset}/{entity}      → Query data

Status: ✅ All 4 tools fully functional with enterprise-grade ETL capabilities! Tested with real production sales data, achieving sub-second performance with large result sets.
