ABAP Cloud readinessABAPABAP Cloud readinessWhether code can run in ABAP Cloud — released APIs only, no direct table access, no obsolete statements — and what to do with the code that cannot.Agent access to your codeABAPCAPAgent access to your codeLetting a coding agent read the project or the system you actually have, reach its model, its objects and its checks, and act on it. In file-based environments that works out of the box; complex systems need dedicated access capabilities. Whatever the environment, the agent also needs project- and framework-specific context, so it understands the thing in front of it rather than guessing from what it remembers of its training data. The transport is incidental: an MCP server, a language server or a CLI answer the same question, and what differs between them is how much of the real thing the agent can see. Distinct from [MCP servers](capability:mcp-servers), which is a protocol adapter on your own running service, and from [agent guidance](capability:agent-guidance), which is knowledge handed over as files rather than read from the thing itself.Agent guidanceABAPCAPAgent guidancePackaged knowledge you hand a coding agent so it gets a framework right unprompted — skills, rule files, instruction packs. Distinct from agent tooling, which is about building agentic features into your application, and from [agent access to your code](capability:agent-code-access), where the agent reads the real project instead of being handed a file about it.Analytic modellingABAPAnalytic modellingDefining what an analytical client actually reads — the multi-dimensional layer between stored rows and a chart: measures, dimensions, hierarchies, filters and parameters, and the associations somebody navigates them by. Distinct from [analytical queries](capability:analytical-queries), which is a service answering the request a chart sends, and from [loading a warehouse](capability:warehouse-loading), which fills the tables underneath it.AuthenticationABAPCAPAuthenticationEstablishing who is calling: validating credentials or tokens, resolving the user, and making that identity available to the application. [Authorization](capability:authorization) decides what that identity may do; [identity provisioning](capability:identity-provisioning) manages its lifecycle across systems.Browsing table dataABAPBrowsing table dataLooking at what a system holds while developing or supporting it: the rows behind a key, the reference data a field points at, the tables that carry data for one object. Editing configuration records through maintenance screens is a different job, even where the same transaction does both.Certificate managementABAPCertificate managementKeeping the certificates a system trusts and presents over TLS current: importing root and intermediate CAs, requesting and importing its own signed certificate, and replacing one before it expires. Storing and rotating passwords and keys an application reads is [secrets rotation](capability:secrets-rotation).Change promotionABAPCAPChange promotionMoving a change through the environments of a landscape, from development through test to production, and knowing which change has reached which environment. A [CI/CD pipeline](capability:ci-cd) builds and tests on each source change, [deployment](capability:deployment) puts a build onto its runtime, and getting source into git is [source control](capability:abap-source-control).Clean code conventionsABAPClean code conventionsThe naming, structure and language-subset conventions that make source code readable across a team — and the question of which of them a checker can enforce.Code formattingABAPCode formattingMaking source match one layout — indentation, keyword case, the shape of a statement block — by rewriting it rather than by reporting on it. Distinct from [static analysis](capability:abap-static-analysis), which says what is wrong and leaves the source where it is.Code reviewABAPCode reviewReading a change before it moves on: which files or objects a change contains, what changed in each since an earlier version, and what a reviewer decided about each part. Comparing two versions of one object is where it starts; the review is the record kept of the decision.DebuggingABAPCAPDebuggingSeeing what running code did between an input arriving and a result coming out: which code ran, what the values were at each point, and why a value ended up as it did.DocumentationABAPCAPDocumentationFinding the answer in what has already been written, and writing it where it has not — first-party documentation made searchable by something other than a person scrolling it, including by an agent, and a document of custom code produced from the code itself.Editor supportABAPCAPEditor supportWorking in source code with the editor helping rather than treating it as text — completion, go-to-definition, inline errors, refactoring and preview.Error handlingABAPCAPError handlingTurning a failure into a response a client can act on — protocol-correct error payloads, correlation, and a boundary between internal detail and what a caller sees.HTTP clientsABAPHTTP clientsCalling an HTTP API outside the system from application code, with the request, the credential and the response handled by a client each time the call is made. Serving HTTP is the other direction, and where the address and the credential are kept is [destinations](capability:destinations).LocalizationABAPCAPLocalizationServing labels, messages and translated content per user locale, including translatable model elements and per-tenant text overrides.LoggingABAPCAPLoggingSeeing what a running service did, in a form something can read afterwards — levels, a formatter that suits a laptop and one that suits a log service.SAP GUI screens and listsABAPSAP GUI screens and listsBuilding screens, lists and interactive controls for the SAP GUI. Producing a web interface is [UI written in ABAP](capability:abap-ui-from-abap); operating an existing screen programmatically is [GUI automation](capability:gui-automation).Searching code in a systemABAPSearching code in a systemFinding where a string, pattern or name occurs across source code and development objects held in a system. Raising findings against rules is [static analysis](capability:abap-static-analysis); reading an individual change is [code review](capability:abap-code-review).SerialisationABAPSerialisationTurning typed in-memory data into a text or binary format such as JSON, CSV or protobuf and reading it back, including the mapping of names and types the language does not do for you. The protocol that carries the payload is a separate concern: an HTTP or OData client moves the bytes, and serialisation decides what they say.Source controlABAPSource controlKeeping source code and development objects in version control, comparing their revisions, and moving them between development environments. Managed delivery of changes belongs to [transport management](capability:change-promotion).Static analysisABAPStatic analysisCatching problems in code before it runs: naming, obsolete statements, security findings, and compatibility with a target environment. Style linting, security scanning and cloud-readiness checks are often treated as one concern.UI written in ABAPABAPUI written in ABAPProducing a web user interface from ABAP code, with the application’s backend language also defining what the user sees and how it behaves.Unit testingABAPUnit testingTesting application logic without a running business process — and the test doubles that make dependencies on the database and on framework services tractable.

mcp-sap-docsmcp-sap-docsAn MCP server over seventeen cloned SAP documentation repositories — ABAP keyword docs, capire, OpenUI5, Cloud SDK, BTP — searched with BM25 and prebuilt embeddings fused by reciprocal rank fusion.independent, cap
It reads documentation, never a system: nothing in it opens a package.json, a CDS model or an ABAP client, so a question about what your own project does has to be answered elsewhere. The offline half is only as fresh as the submodules the last build pinned, and the index answers where something is written down rather than which of two packages fits a task.
