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](artifact:sap-joule-for-developers) 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\".","when_not_to_use":"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.
