Before You Upgrade S/4HANA: Static UI5 Checks with MCPpublishedA UI5 version upgrade checked against one app by pairing two MCP servers: the
ui5_version_diff tool added to 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, 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@ui5/mcp-serverSAP'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.sap official, ui5, 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-1From SEGW and Legacy UI5 to RAP with ARC-1Three 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 2026-05-11, from SAPUI5 1.84.59 to 1.147.2, the diff range held 985 deprecations and 961 What's New entries, and the lintingLintingCatching in the editor what would otherwise be caught at deploy time, or not at all — problems in source code and models and in the project's configuration, found by rules rather than by review.SAP and community, narrow by design 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.DocumentationFinally: An MCP Server for ABAPpublishedAnnounces the ABAP variant of 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, published at mcp-abap.marianzeis.de for GitHub CopilotGitHub CopilotAn AI coding assistant built into GitHub, with agents that can use external tools and MCP servers.'s Agent Mode in ADT for Eclipse, which the post names as the trigger, with ABAP knowledge still a recurring problem in the models. Documentation irrelevant to ABAP was removed from the SAP docs server and the ABAP Keyword Documentation, the DSAG ABAP Development Guidelines and the ABAP Style Guide were added, with search reaching past the local index to SAP Community posts and SAP Help.

Documentationcoverage by flavor revisedThe only UI5-ecosystem artifact that states web-components in its flavors is ui5-webcomponents-mcp-server, sap-official, and no other UI5-ecosystem provider of this capability names the flavor at all — core-only per the reading rule. framing_by_flavor was left unset: framing_by_ecosystem.ui5 already describes this same artifact, and it already reads as the web-components flavor's own paragraph rather than a cross-flavor one, so a second copy would restate it rather than say something different.Documentation
Reference appscore coverage, ecosystems revisedTwo SAP-samples repositories in this batch are whole applications on other doors: hana-shine-xsa, SHINE for XS Advanced on SAP HANA, and btp-abap-cna, a RAP side-by-side extension on SAP BTP ABAP Environment. Both are samples, so each door opens unmapped.Reference apps

Documentationdescription revisedWidened rather than forked into abap-code-documentation: producing a document of a custom package is the same concern from the writing side. The ABAP coverage moved from community-only to core-and-community because ADT's ABAP Doc export is the core's answer for custom code. Done so abap-doc (staged in intake-20260913-mariokernich) can provide it.Documentation
Reference appsname revisedThe map draws every capability as one tile, and a name that spells out its second half ran to three lines at a size nobody could read. The id already carried the short name; the name now matches it. The concern is unchanged: the description and the coverage say what it spans.Reference apps

Documentationecosystems revisedArtifacts that answer this concern sat behind the ABAP door with no tile to appear under, so browse counted them and rendered nothing. The concern is one a ABAP developer actually decides there, which is the test for opening a door rather than trimming a serves claim.Documentation

Documentationcore coverage, ecosystems revisedAn SAP-published MCP server entered from the sap-ai-mcp-servers catalogue answers this concern on the UI5 door, and the door had no tile for it to sit under.Documentation
mcp-sap-docsentry revisedNamed in docs/NEIGHBOURS.md §3.1 as a project of the bestofcapjs author but never entered. It is a documentation retrieval server, not an index of options — the complement posture the same section assigns ARC-1, and hard rule 5 makes it exist here only as an attached entry.Documentation

Build a Business Application Using CAP for JavapublishedThe Java counterpart to the Node.js path — eight tutorials, around two and a half hours, from a generated project to a running service. Worth having indexed separately rather than folded in with the Node.js one: the runtimes diverge most in exactly the places a first application touches, and following the wrong path is a slow way to find that out.Reference apps
Build a Business Application Using CAP for Node.jspublishedThe Node.js introduction path, and the shorter of the pair — the runtime most CAP writing assumes, which is why the Java path exists separately.Reference apps

Develop a Full-Stack CAP Application Following SAP BTP Developer's GuidepublishedThe eight-part path SAP's own Developer's Guide prescribes: a CAP service, Fiori Elements over it, custom logic, authorization, tests, and the preparation deployment needs. It is the closest thing to an official answer to 'what does a whole CAP application look like', which is why it sits under reference applications rather than under any one of the capabilities it touches.Reference apps
From Concept to action: Hands-On with the CAP Operator and the Partner Reference ApplicationpublishedThe CAP Operator applied to a real application rather than a sample of its own — SAP's Partner Reference Application, taken from plugin integration through containerisation to custom resources. The transition to CRDs is the part that repays attention: it is where the deployment stops being an mta and becomes Kubernetes.Reference apps
The CAPstone Project: A Journey from Component to CloudpublishedA React and Vite front end on a CAP backend, written for two readers at once — the React developer curious about SAP, and the CAP developer wondering about modern front ends. Predates CAP's own React and Vue support.Reference apps
UI5ers Buzz #56: New full-stack UI5 sample app featuring CAP + OData V4 + draft modepublishedA sample app published as code rather than described — SAPUI5 over a CAP service with OData V4 and draft mode — and the note that it was built on what the team learned from an application written in March 2020 to help the German Foreign Office repatriate citizens. That provenance is unusual and worth keeping.Reference apps
