ADT MCP Server

SAP's own ADT MCP server, and not a package: a preference inside ABAP Development Tools for VS Code that starts a local HTTP MCP server on a port you choose.

ABAP source lives in a system, and the credentials and the connection to it already exist inside ADT for VS Code once a project is added. Rather than shipping a second client, SAP exposes what the extension already has: set Adt > McpServer: Port, enable the server, and it listens at http://localhost:<port>/mcp — 2236 unless changed — for any MCP client on the same machine to call ABAP development tools through. SAP's announcement of the re-invented SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities points to the available MCP tools in ADT for Eclipse as well, without describing how they are enabled there, and leaves the agent open: it names "your coding agent of choice".

Where it sits

Lives in
ABAP
Provides
Agent access to your codeABAPAgent access to your codecapabilityLetting 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.
Part of
ABAP Development Tools for VS CodeABAP Development Tools for VS CodeartifactSAP's ABAP tools in VS Code: editing, debugging, ABAP Unit, ATC and transports for classes, CDS and RAP objects, over RFC to an on-premise or Private Cloud system and HTTP to a cloud one, with Joule's ADT MCP server and code completion behind an AI-unit licence.

Before choosing this

Conditions

PracticalFunctional boundary

There is nothing to install and nothing to deploy, and equally nothing to run headless: in VS Code it exists only while ADT for VS Code is running with a logged-on ABAP project, so it is a developer's local surface rather than anything a pipeline or a hosted agent can reach. No public repository, so what it exposes is what the documentation says it exposes.

PolicySAP API Policy 4.2026a§ 1.1, 1.2, 2.2.2from Agent access to your codeAn MCP server calls ADT or another SAP API of a running system for an agent.
  • § 1.1 Published APIs. Published APIs are made available for the documented purposes identified by SAP, including integration, extensions and data exchange.
  • § 1.2 Non-Published APIs. Customer and third-party applications must not access non-published APIs except where documentation permits it or SAP otherwise authorizes it.
  • § 2.2.2 AI call sequences and data extraction. Outside SAP-endorsed architectures, data services or expressly identified pathways, the policy prohibits specified agentic API use and systematic or large-scale extraction.

An agent that plans and executes ADT calls is the case section 2.2.2 names. Check that the endpoints are published for the intended use, and that the design runs within a pathway SAP identifies for it.

Agent access to ABAP code2
Generate a RAP business object by prompting an agentA developer describes the travel application they want and an agent creates the RAP objects in the ABAP system, instead of printing source for the developer to paste into the editor.ABAP CloudCovers, under conditionsgenerator surface
What it does

Puts SAP's own ABAP RAP generators in front of the agent as MCP tools, so the objects come out of the generator rather than out of the model. The documented set names abap_generators-list_generators, abap_generators-get_schema and abap_generators-generate_objects, with abap_activate-objects to activate the result and abap_transport-create to open the transport it needs.

Conditions

ADT for VS Code is running with a destination active in the workspace; the server does not start without one.; The system is one SAP names as currently supported: SAP BTP ABAP environment, SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition or SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private 2025 Edition.; SAP Joule for developers, ABAP AI capabilities is enabled on that system.; SAP calls the server an experimental feature that is not intended for productive use, which is a decision about the system it is pointed at rather than about the tool.

Remaining work

The developer runs the agent from an editor session of their own and reviews what the generator produced. Nothing in this path runs headless or in a pipeline.

Let an agent change ABAP in an on-premise systemAn agent reads and changes ABAP in a system the customer runs themselves, on the classic development model, and the change is activated there.Standard ABAPAssessed, not knownSAP's own server
What it does

SAP names SAP BTP ABAP environment, SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private 2025 Edition as currently supported. Nothing retrieved here speaks about a classic on-premise system either way, and a list of supported systems is not a statement that the rest are refused.

Remaining work

Establishing this needs a source that addresses on-premise systems directly. Until there is one, a reader planning for such a system has the independent servers to look at and an open question about SAP's.
