# mcp-abap-abap-adt-api

An MCP server that puts SAP ABAP work inside your AI client: object lookup, source edits, transports, debugging. Useful when you develop ABAP and want the agent to touch the system directly.

## What it does

The server wraps `abap-adt-api` and hands the agent a toolset for SAP: finding objects, reading and writing source, locks, activation, transports, debugging, refactoring, Git and analysis. Everything runs through a single SAP session held by a local stdio client. What that session may read or change is decided by SAP authorizations.

You build it yourself. Node 22.22.2+ or 24.15.0+ is required, then `npm ci` and `npm run build`, and the client launches `node` pointing at the absolute path of `dist/index.js`. Credentials arrive from the MCP client environment: `SAP_URL` is an origin with no path and no embedded login, alongside `SAP_USER` and `SAP_PASSWORD`. With a private CA, set `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` before Node starts. TLS verification stays on.

One operation runs at a time; anything overlapping gets a busy error. `SAP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS` defaults to 60000 and accepts 100..120000. The client ignores redirects, does not pick up environment proxies, and never retries a mutating call. A write cut short may already have landed in SAP, so check locks and writes, then call `login`, `dropSession` or `logout` to recover. Treat it as a tool for a trusted operator, not a sandbox or a shared service.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Environment variables: `SAP_URL`, `SAP_USER`, `SAP_PASSWORD`, `SAP_CLIENT`, `SAP_LANGUAGE`, `NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.

## When to use it
- locate an ABAP object by class name and get its URI
- pull a program's source and run a syntax check
- push edited code back into the system
- sort out transports when moving changes
- attach the debugger to a running program

## Example prompts
- Find the ABAP class `zcl_invoice_xml_gen_model` and show me its source
- Run a syntax check on the code you just read from the system
- Show transport information for this object
