@ui5/mcp-server
SAP's MCP server for UI5 development: ten tools that scaffold an app or a card, read the project in front of the agent, and run the linter and the manifest validator against it.
An agent writing UI5 knows the framework from training data and nothing about the application in the editor — which version it targets, how its manifest is shaped, whether what it just wrote passes the linter. This puts ten tools in front of it: create_ui5_app and create_integration_card scaffold from the templates, get_project_info reads the project's own metadata, get_version_info answers which framework version is in play, get_api_reference fetches and formats the API documentation, get_guidelines, get_integration_cards_guidelines and get_typescript_conversion_guidelines carry the practices, and run_ui5_linter and run_manifest_validation check the result against @ui5/linter and the manifest schema. Runs over stdio as npx -y @ui5/mcp-server, so nothing is installed into the project.

Readings
AI-assisted SAP development with MCPAI-assisted SAP development with MCPtalkA Devtoberfest 2026 session (UI-41) that traces AI-assisted SAP development from pasting code into a chat window to coding agents with built-in connectors, and sorts the MCP servers around SAP development into SAP's own, the community's and the hosted ones, where the agent cannot change what the server allows. Four demos follow: GitHub Copilot alone explaining an ABAP report from a Git repository, @ui5/mcp-server reading an OpenUI5 sample app and converting it to TypeScript, mcp-sap-docs grounding Terraform files for a BTP subaccount the presenter had not written before, and arc-1 with Copilot in Eclipse tracing why a title longer than 40 characters is rejected and proposing the DDIC-allowed length instead. It ends on a skill that migrates an SAP Gateway project on an ECC system to RAP on S/4HANA step by step, and on a rule Marian Zeis gives for servers written for internal use: keep them read-only, because what the agent is short of is context.published 2026-10-16Marian Zeis, YouTube — SAP Developers playlists
Beyond copilots: Agentic development with SAPUI5Beyond copilots: Agentic development with SAPUI5talkDevtoberfest 2026 session UI-12, from the SAPUI5 team, on the year of work behind UI5/plugins-coding-agents: what a model produces for UI5 without help — outdated concepts, framework versions a decade old, generic JavaScript rules, code that does not run — and the two ways they chose to close that gap, an MCP server in September 2025 and skills packaged as plugins once agents began reading them. Three plugins are demonstrated live in Claude Code: the everyday one scaffolds an Oktoberfest tents application in about four minutes, the TypeScript conversion plugin rewrites an existing JavaScript project and reconfigures its build with the types and the transpile task, and the modernisation plugin takes a ten-year-old application through staged migrations, applying UI5 Linter's automatic fixes where they cannot break the app and the model where they can, then running the tests. @ui5/mcp-server is still the path for the parts that need a server, and the plugins are installed from the Claude Code and GitHub Copilot marketplaces rather than a UI5-hosted one.SAP Developers, published 2026-09-25SAP Developers, YouTube — SAP Developers playlists
Before You Upgrade S/4HANA: Static UI5 Checks with MCPBefore You Upgrade S/4HANA: Static UI5 Checks with MCPblogA UI5 version upgrade checked against one app by pairing two MCP servers: the ui5_version_diff tool added to mcp-sap-docs, which reads a bundle from ui5-lib-diff downloaded once at setup and filters it by version range, change type, library or query text, and @ui5/mcp-server, whose get_project_info, get_version_info, run_ui5_linter and run_manifest_validation say what the app uses and what fails. Run with a ui5-versions-upgrade.md skill on the legacy app from From SEGW and Legacy UI5 to RAP with ARC-1, from SAPUI5 1.84.59 to 1.147.2, the diff range held 985 deprecations and 961 What's New entries, and the linting and manifest validation narrowed that to findings in this app, among them jQuery.sap.require, synchronous bootstrap, the sap_belize theme, sap.m.MessagePage and an old manifest _version. The checks read the source in a local checkout and never the deployed app, so the report is a first pass: a changelog entry is not proof that a workaround can be deleted, and the app still has to be run and tested.published 2026-05-20Marian Zeis, blog.zeis.de — Marian Zeis

From SEGW and Legacy UI5 to RAP with ARC-1From SEGW and Legacy UI5 to RAP with ARC-1blogThree ARC-1 skills, run in Cursor with Composer-2 against a deliberately rough demo on an S/4HANA 2023 trial system, turn the SEGW service ZDEMO_MIG_PROJECTS_SRV into a managed, draft-enabled RAP business object published as OData V4, replace its ApproveProject function import and its direct UPDATE ... COMMIT WORK with the action approve_project written in EML in local mode, and rebuild the freestyle UI5 JavaScript app once in UI5 TypeScript and once as a Fiori elements list report and object page driven by metadata extensions. What the published transcripts add is how the agent got there: it found the generated MPC class names and the custom logic in DPC_EXT only by reading the system, the skills made it print the extracted model and stop for confirmation before writing, and @ui5/mcp-server, mcp-sap-docs and @sap-ux/fiori-mcp-server each had their own job beside it. The demo is small on purpose, and the post says a productive SEGW service that calls BAPIs, carries custom authorisation logic or supports deep inserts is not solved with one prompt.published 2026-05-11Marian Zeis, blog.zeis.de — Marian Zeis
UI5 MCP Server Got Extended for UI Integration Cards GenerationUI5 MCP Server Got Extended for UI Integration Cards GenerationblogVersion 0.2.1 of the UI5 MCP Server adds three tools for UI Integration Cards: get_integration_cards_guidelines feeds an agent current best practices and API versions, create_integration_card scaffolds a new card project, and run_manifest_validation checks the generated manifest against the schema. The post frames these as closing the same gaps as the server's existing tools — an LLM's outdated or wrong card API knowledge — this time for scaffolding and validating a card rather than a full app.daniel_vladinov, published 2026-01-22daniel_vladinov, SAP Community

What changed
v0.3.0
The roots-based path restriction was removed: the tools no longer limit file access to the roots the client provides and accept any absolute path.
Makes stale:
Setups that rely on MCP roots to keep the server's tools inside the workspace.
1 earlier
v0.2.0
The supported Node.js range is ^20.17.0 or 22.9.0 and later. The release also added the get_typescript_conversion_guidelines tool.
Besides the general configuration outlined above, some MCP clients offer shortcuts for installing MCP servers. Below are instructions for some popular clients, but you can also refer to your specific client's documentation for more details.
The following rules guide large language models (LLMs) in using the UI5 MCP server correctly. Add these rules to your existing global or project-specific AGENTS.md file. The exact location may vary depending on the MCP client. For example, Claude Code uses a CLAUDE.md file instead of AGENTS.md.
## Guidelines for UI5Use the `get_guidelines` tool of the UI5 MCP server to retrieve the latest coding standards and best practices for UI5 development.
Configuration
The UI5 MCP server can be configured using the following environment variables. It does not accept any command-line arguments.
Configuration Options:
UI5_MCP_SERVER_ALLOWED_DOMAINS:
Default Value: localhost, services.odata.org
Description: A comma-separated list of domains that are allowed to be used in various tools, for example: localhost, example.com, sub.example.com. Set to an empty string to allow any domains.
For wildcard subdomains, prefix the domain with a dot: .example.com. This will match www.example.com but not example.com.
UI5_MCP_SERVER_RESPONSE_NO_STRUCTURED_CONTENT:
Description: Set to any value to disable structured content in the MCP server responses.
Default Value: https://sdk.openui5.org for OpenUI5 and https://ui5.sap.com for SAPUI5
Description: Override the base URL used for fetching UI5 resources from the CDN. For example: https://example.com. When set, this URL is used for both OpenUI5 and SAPUI5 resources. The value must be a valid URL. Note that the project's version will appended to the URL automatically. This means that at runtime, the URL might look like this: https://example.com/1.120.0/resources/[...].
Default Value: The .ui5 directory in the user's home directory
Description: Directory where the MCP server stores its data, such as cached API references.
