The release adds the object read, edit, check, search and symbol tools, the AFF file tools, object actions, ATC exemptions and the ABAP feed query, so a CLI such as Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex or [GitHub Copilot](external:github-copilot) CLI works from the server's own tools; every tool takes its object as an ADT URI, a name with its type or an AFF file name, which is how it meets community servers that know one form. It states the safety policy, the server off, a system allow list, the edit tool off and no package allow-listed until a user opens each, and the on-boarding SAP recommends: start in ADT for VS Code, then attach a CLI beside the IDE to the server the IDE runs.","short":"SAP's 1.2 release of the ADT MCP Server, its tools and safety policy","offers":["concepts","reference"],"sources":[{"url":"https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-blog-posts-by-sap/abap-development-tools-mcp-server-major-update-available/ba-p/14496064","title":"ABAP development tools MCP server: Major update available! — SAP Community","checked":"2026-11-03","quote":"The ABAP development tools MCP server shipping with the Eclipse plug-in and the VS Code extension is the official MCP server for ABAP development from SAP."},{"url":"https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-blog-posts-by-sap/abap-development-tools-mcp-server-major-update-available/ba-p/14496064","title":"ABAP development tools MCP server: Major update available! — SAP Community","checked":"2026-11-03","quote":"The MCP server supports all ABAP server releases until SAP NetWeaver 7.31 SP04.
