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](artifact: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.","short":"SAPUI5 team on coding-agent plugins for UI5 development","sources":[{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt6wxsCOjvY","title":"Beyond copilots: Agentic development with SAPUI5 — three plugins","checked":"2026-10-19","quote":"And currently this project includes three plugins."},{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt6wxsCOjvY","title":"Beyond copilots: Agentic development with SAPUI5 — the MCP server came first","checked":"2026-10-19","quote":"So a year ago, last September, we released the initial version of the UFI MCP server, which is open source."},{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt6wxsCOjvY","title":"Beyond copilots: Agentic development with SAPUI5 — the MCP server is still in use","checked":"2026-10-19","quote":"But to complete the picture, I also want to say that, first of all, our MCP server, which we developed last year, is not outdated.
