Agent access to ABAP codeSAP and community
ABAP + MCP: Let AI Do Real Development in Your SAP SystemABAP + MCP: Let AI Do Real Development in Your SAP Systemabap-adt-mcp is an open-source MCP server that gives an AI agent full ABAP development capability over ADT: it searches, reads, edits, activates and unit-tests objects, and runs ATC checks, on a connected S/4HANA Cloud or on-premise system, acting as the signed-in developer. It runs on abap-adt-api, the same REST client Eclipse's own ADT tooling uses, and sits beside SAP's own ADT MCP Server, shipped with ADT for VS Code and Eclipse under a different server key, and marianfoo's abap-docs, a read-only server over the ABAP Keyword Documentation and Clean ABAP. Each destination carries a policy — read-only, allowed packages, denied tables and tools — the server checks before every call, and an optional audit file logs each tool call with its outcome and policy gate.Willian_Saez, published 2026-09-03
ABAP development tools for Visual Studio Code: Version 1.1 releasedABAP development tools for Visual Studio Code: Version 1.1 releasedVersion 1.1 of ABAP development tools for Visual Studio Code adds two tools to the extension's local ADT MCP Server: a unified, git-like diff for a transport request, and a runner for ABAP Test Cockpit checks, both meant for an agent to call rather than a person to click through. Both are new instances of what agent access to your code already covers for ABAP — reading and acting on a real system through ADT — reaching now into a transport's changes and a check run rather than only source and objects.thomasalexander_ritter, published 2026-07-21
Claude Code via MCP: Poor man's Joule, or a practical tool?Claude Code via MCP: Poor man's Joule, or a practical tool?The author drives Claude Code against a live ABAP system through vibing-steampunk, an ADT-to-MCP bridge that locks and unlocks objects on the agent's behalf so the model can concentrate on the change: extending an ALV report, turning its SELECT into a CDS view, and answering ad-hoc questions over the report's own data. Where Claude got it wrong — a RAP scaffold missing the fields RAP's locking mechanism needs, ORDER as a reserved word — the piece asks where that knowledge would go as a Skill, and concludes Skills' filesystem basis has no home in a system reached only through MCP.k1000, published 2026-03-08
Claude ported ABAP functions to new APIClaude ported ABAP functions to new APIA first-person account of using Claude Code, driven through the sapcli command line, to install and repair RFC function modules that let a CI pipeline control abapGit and gCTS remotely, rather than treating git as a way to read ABAP source. Instead of trusting a local checkout, Claude read the abapGit login manager class and queried the target system's own type catalogue through sapcli, then used what it found to update a renamed API method and swap a TABLES parameter's structure for the table type BAPIRET2_T.jakub_filak, published 2026-03-16
How to Connect Claude Code to ABAP with Zero-Config MCPHow to Connect Claude Code to ABAP with Zero-Config MCPWalks through wiring Claude Code, via its VS Code extension, to a live SAP system through an ABAP remote-filesystem extension built by Marcello Urbani and its built-in MCP server — a single toggle rather than a hand-rolled Node.js setup — so the agent searches, reads, writes, activates and assigns transports for ABAP objects over the same ADT REST API Eclipse uses, instead of guessing at tables and function modules it has never seen. The demo carries one plain-English prompt through to a real, activated ABAP program on a live S/4HANA system, including a transport-request dialog Claude worked through on its own.Nibedita, published 2026-07-05
Joule for Developers with SAP BTP ABAP Environment-Setup GuideJoule for Developers with SAP BTP ABAP Environment-Setup GuideA step-by-step setup guide for SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities under its Q2 2026 limited-promotion licence: creating a BTP subaccount, adding ABAP environment and HANA compute-unit entitlements, enabling Cloud Foundry, configuring trust to Cloud Identity Services, creating the ABAP environment instance and assigning the developer role, then pointing ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse at the new system. It walks through the resulting Joule chat, predictive code completion, explain, ABAP Unit and CDS test-generation features inside a newly created ABAP Cloud project.YASHLAL, published 2025-09-11
SAP's API Policy on AI Agents: What It Prohibits, Allows, and Leaves OpenSAP's API Policy on AI Agents: What It Prohibits, Allows, and Leaves OpenReading SAP's API Policy v.4.2026a and its FAQ against the reference architectures, the piece narrows the widely repeated claim that SAP bans AI to what Section 2.2.2 actually restricts: an agent planning and chaining API calls outside an SAP-endorsed route, closed off further by Section 3's block on bypassing API Controls through custom code. It compares the endorsed and allowed paths — the MCP Gateway on SAP Integration Suite reaching S/4HANA and ECC through RFC-based back ends under a 15-tool, 200,000-token limit, SAP-provided MCP servers through Joule Studio, the A2A protocol, customer-operated MCP servers allowed under FAQ Question 56, and the ADT MCP Server, whose 18 tools work only on development artifacts and are documented as not intended for productive use. It leaves open whether Section 2.2.2 covers ABAP code that calls a model from inside the system, since enforcement is defined at the API-traffic level rather than by a list of tools.published 2026-08-31
The Future of ABAP is Here: VS Code ADT, Zero-Config MCP, and AI Co-pilotsThe Future of ABAP is Here: VS Code ADT, Zero-Config MCP, and AI Co-pilotsA walkthrough of ABAP Development Tools for VS Code's general-availability release: connecting to an on-premise or BTP ABAP system, editing classes, CDS and RAP objects, and turning on the extension's built-in ADT MCP Server. Enabled, it lets a co-pilot such as GitHub Copilot or SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities read code, trace dependencies, and run ABAP Unit and ATC checks against the real system rather than guessing from training data.lpodile, published 2026-06-01
Using Claude for SAP ABAP development on RFC-only / SAProuter systems (even ECC R/3)Using Claude for SAP ABAP development on RFC-only / SAProuter systems (even ECC R/3)vibing-steampunk gives Claude read, search, edit and check access to ABAP source over ADT's REST API, but some SAProuters permit only SAP's native RFC and DIAG routes and block raw HTTP to the ICM, so that link can't reach them even though Eclipse ADT can. Eclipse gets through because it tunnels ADT over RFC through the standard SADT_REST_RFC_ENDPOINT function module instead of HTTP, a path the post traces by capturing a live Eclipse session. adt-rfc-bridge reproduces that tunnel as a local HTTP-to-RFC proxy built on PyRFC, put in front of vsp, and the author reports it working on both S/4HANA and classic ECC/R/3 systems where Eclipse ADT already connects.enrico_andreoli, published 2026-06-09

ABAP development tools for Visual Studio Code is now available on the VS Code marketplace!ABAP development tools for Visual Studio Code is now available on the VS Code marketplace!Announces the marketplace release of ABAP development tools for Visual Studio Code, an extension that works against any ABAP system already reachable from ADT for Eclipse and is focused on RAP UI service development, so the Fiori/SAPUI5 frontend and the ABAP backend can be built in the same tool. It ships a built-in ADT MCP Server, disabled by default and switched on from the extension settings, and points readers to a documentation template for capturing ABAP-specific rules in a project's AGENTS.md file for chat agents such as Microsoft Copilot.thomasalexander_ritter, published 2026-06-01
ABAP development tools for Visual Studio Code: Patch 1.0.1 releasedABAP development tools for Visual Studio Code: Patch 1.0.1 releasedA patch to SAP's ABAP development tools for Visual Studio Code, released after two weeks of user feedback: RFC destinations with password logon return, undoing what the first release had dropped, and the extension now ships the AGENTS.md template its documentation already carried, so a project gets agent guidance built in rather than copied by hand. The author still recommends duplicating the template and adding project-specific instructions, since the time spent on that onboarding is what the agent's results depend on.thomasalexander_ritter, published 2026-06-12

Calling Claude from ABAP: How I Wired SAP AI Core into a Real Business ScenarioCalling Claude from ABAP: How I Wired SAP AI Core into a Real Business ScenarioA proof of concept wiring SAP AI Core's Claude deployment directly into ABAP with no CAP layer between them: two SM59 HTTP destinations, a hand-written OAuth 2.0 client-credentials exchange, and a regex to unwrap Claude's system/messages response envelope. Most of the effort goes into a system prompt that constrains the model to return one fixed JSON schema of filter fields, which ABAP deserialises with /UI2/CL_JSON and exposes through a RAP custom action so a Fiori search field can drive an OData V4 filter.PranayGaroo, published 2026-06-04
Content FilteringContent FilteringContent filtering screens a large language model's input and output for low-quality, irrelevant or unsafe content: the four categories it names being hateful, violent, sexual and vulgar content, checking a request once on the way in and once on the way back. The page states smaller models can do this filtering efficiently, reading perplexity scores to flag anomalies, with the aim that SAP AI Core produces content meeting a stated safety standard, which is the ground content filtering covers on the BTP door.
Data MaskingData MaskingData masking replaces identifiable or confidential text in a prompt with placeholders such as <Person_0> or <Organization_1> before it reaches a large language model, using pattern matching and machine learning to find what to replace. The page states SAP AI Core supports it as a feature and sets out five steps for applying it, defining the masking scope, choosing a technique, preserving the prompt's intent, checking compliance and risk, then testing and monitoring the result. That is the shape data masking takes on the BTP door.
Document GroundingDocument GroundingDocument Grounding is a managed retrieval-augmented-generation service under the Generative AI Hub on BTP, which SAP's page on SAP AI Core places inside that service: it ingests documents from Amazon S3, SharePoint, SAP Document Management Service, SAP Work Zone or an SFTP server, and handles chunking, embedding and retrieval itself, refreshing content automatically when a source document changes. The page states this managed path is recommended for most enterprise scenarios because it covers the whole lifecycle end to end, and offers a separate Document Grounding Vector API for data that is already chunked and embedded, for cases that need finer control over chunking and metadata.
Enhancing Business Processes with SAP BTP AI in SAP Integration SuiteEnhancing Business Processes with SAP BTP AI in SAP Integration SuiteWalks through a post-exit iflow in SAP Integration Suite that calls an LLM through SAP AI Core's Generative AI Hub to turn a customer's free-text return comment into one of a fixed set of SAP rejection-reason codes, so an inbound ORDERS05 IDoc carries a decision (E1EDP01-ABGRU) the ERP can act on without pausing for manual review. The worked example is a Commerce Cloud returns flow into S/4HANA; the piece argues the same bounded-classification pattern fits other narrative fields — delivery-exception remarks, expense-claim justifications — where the cost of an LLM call is repaid by removing a human review step, and points to a colleague's post on the Generative AI Hub orchestration workflow for the guardrailing (prompt templating, data masking) it only names.arunmaarirajha_kv, published 2025-12-15
Prompt TemplatingPrompt TemplatingPrompt templating replaces a static prompt with a structured, reusable template whose placeholders are filled in at runtime, which the page says helps LLM responses stay consistent and lets the same instructions be adapted across tasks. On SAP AI Core this is implemented through the Prompt Registry, and the page states that storing prompts as plain strings in code is possible but not recommended. That is prompt management as a stored and managed object rather than a string embedded in the caller.
What an AI infra engineer sees when opening SAP's AI stack (1/3): the model gatewayWhat an AI infra engineer sees when opening SAP's AI stack (1/3): the model gatewayA first look at SAP AI Core's Generative AI Hub from someone who builds gateways outside SAP for a living: the orchestration service harmonizes provider calls onto one API (a model name string switches providers, and SAP Note 3437766 carries the current model list, token rates and deprecation dates), runs a fixed, non-reorderable module pipeline — templating, masking through SAP Data Privacy Integration, grounding, content filtering, then the model call — and retries down an ordered fallback list whose entries can each carry their own model and rules. It places @sap-ai-sdk/orchestration among the official JavaScript, Java and Python SDKs, and notes SAP's own LiteLLM provider as a way to put a different gateway in front of it.amishkush, published 2026-09-30
