Agent guidanceUI5CAPBTPABAPAgent guidancePackaged knowledge you hand a coding agent so it gets a framework right unprompted — skills, rule files, instruction packs. Distinct from agent tooling, which is about building agentic features into your application, and from [agent access to your code](capability:agent-code-access), where the agent reads the real project instead of being handed a file about it.Build and dev-server toolingUI5Build and dev-server toolingServing an app locally and building it for deployment — proxying a backend, transpiling, bundling, and shaping the result for whatever will host it.Custom controls and librariesUI5Custom controls and librariesExtending the set of controls an app is built from: a control of its own, a wrapper around a third-party widget, or an icon font registered with the framework, packaged so another app can reuse it. Distinct from [Web Components interop](capability:ui5-web-components), which brings in standard custom elements, and from [generators](capability:generators), which scaffold a control project rather than being one.DocumentationUI5CAPBTPABAPDocumentationFinding the answer in what has already been written, and writing it where it has not — first-party documentation made searchable by something other than a person scrolling it, including by an agent, and a document of custom code produced from the code itself.Importing and exporting table dataUI5ABAPCAPImporting and exporting table dataGetting a file somebody supplies, a spreadsheet, a CSV or a JSON dump, into tables with its columns mapped and its values checked, and getting table content back out as a file. Data shipped with an application for development and demonstration is [seed data](capability:seed-data).UI5 testingUI5UI5 testingProving a UI still works — unit tests over controllers and formatters, integration tests that drive real controls, and end-to-end runs against a served app.

Build and dev-server toolingUI5Build and dev-server toolingServing an app locally and building it for deployment — proxying a backend, transpiling, bundling, and shaping the result for whatever will host it.Data bindingUI5Data bindingKeeping a control and a model in step in both directions, including the formatting, type conversion and validation that sit between the two.Fiori annotationsUI5CAPABAPFiori annotationsDescribing a service so a Fiori client can render it without hand-written UI code — titles, value helps, hierarchies and visibility expressed as model annotations rather than screen logic.Generative UIUI5CAPGenerative UIPutting an interface inside an agent conversation: a tool result or an agent's reply shown as controls a person can work in, where text would have been. Two things go by the name. A prebuilt web UI that an MCP tool points to and the host renders in a sandboxed iframe, which the MCP Apps extension specifies, is selected by the model and not generated by it; a user interface rendered from a stream of JSON objects the agent sends, which the A2UI specification describes, is. Generating an application's source at design time is [generators](capability:generators).UI5 testingUI5UI5 testingProving a UI still works — unit tests over controllers and formatters, integration tests that drive real controls, and end-to-end runs against a served app.

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
It reads documentation, never a system: nothing in it opens a package.json, a CDS model or an ABAP client, so a question about what your own project does has to be answered elsewhere. The offline half is only as fresh as the submodules the last build pinned, and the index answers where something is written down rather than which of two packages fits a task.

ui5-cc-pdfviewerui5-cc-pdfviewerA UI5 custom control that renders a PDF from a base64 data URI with pdfjs-dist, so a file picked in the browser can be shown before it has been uploaded anywhere and has a URL.independent, ui5
Quiet Release and repository quiet for 41 months.
Functional boundary The case it is written for is a document that has not been uploaded; anything already served from a URL is what the framework's own PDF control takes. Passing a document as a data URI means holding it in the page as a string first, which is a different cost from streaming it from a server.

No license Neither the package manifest nor the repository tree declares a licence.
Functional boundary It reports what the change log says, not what your application uses, so it cannot tell you which of the listed changes touches your code. The repository carries no licence file, which leaves the code itself with no grant attached even though the hosted app is open to use.

AI-assisted SAP development with MCPAI-assisted SAP development with MCPA 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 2026-10-16
UI5 Has Entered the Chat: Building Interactive MCP Apps for SAPUI5 Has Entered the Chat: Building Interactive MCP Apps for SAPMCP Apps let an MCP tool point at a ui:// resource that a compatible host renders in a sandboxed iframe, and the post walks through the five samples of UI5con_2026_MCPApps, built with Mike Zaschka for UI5con, from a plain HTML time tool through UI5 Web Components and UI Integration Cards to UI5 lint findings from @ui5/mcp-server and an ARC-1 transport review. In the samples the model selects the tool and does not generate the interface, the prebuilt kind of generative UI, and the subject is the server side of MCP servers: register the resource, link it from the tool's _meta.ui.resourceUri, return text content as a fallback beside structuredContent, call callServerTool() only for tools of the server that owns the app, and send a message to the host when another server such as ARC-1 has to act. It stops at the host, whose support differs by client and whose iframe sandbox is not a complete security model, and Joule support for MCP Apps could not be verified at the time of writing.published 2026-07-13
Before You Upgrade S/4HANA: Static UI5 Checks with MCPBefore You Upgrade S/4HANA: Static UI5 Checks with MCPA 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 2026-05-20
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

How I Use AI for Development and Why Context MattersHow I Use AI for Development and Why Context MattersPart one of the AI ABAP development series traces a move from pasting ChatGPT output and error messages back and forth to tools that search, read docs and inspect files themselves, and holds that the context around a model decides more in real projects than benchmark results do. In SAP work the grounding comes from mcp-sap-docs, which brings SAP Help, GitHub repositories, style guides and DSAG guidelines into the session, and context for changing a class also means the tables it uses, the classes it calls and similar implementations. Agentic autonomy is a slider set per project, with the time saved on typing moved into planning and review, and the post stops before ABAP: SAP's MCP servers for UI5, CAP and Fiori (@ui5/mcp-server, @cap-js/mcp-server, @sap-ux/fiori-mcp-server) sit in off-stack work that git and pipelines already gate, and the harder ABAP case is left to the next part.published 2026-04-20
Building an Enterprise-Ready SAP AI Agent with Open SourceBuilding an Enterprise-Ready SAP AI Agent with Open SourceA self-hosted chat agent for SAP systems: LibreChat as UI and orchestrator with Entra ID sign-in and SharePoint connected, a local LLM through Ollama, and two MCP servers, mcp-sap-docs for public documentation and the ADT MCP server vibing-steampunk for the system itself. The ADT server runs in its read-only mode under a technical user with display authorisations only, so the agent can find a function module and pull its source, or locate a RAP business object with its behaviour definition and projection view, but cannot change anything. Two workflows show it, explaining what BAPI_DISPUTE_CREATE does in one system and planning a RAP action from a PDF specification, where the generated ABAP is copied into Eclipse by hand; the full setup is in the marianfoo/llm-client-sap-system-integration-sharepoint repository.published 2026-03-03
Finally: An MCP Server for ABAPFinally: An MCP Server for ABAPAnnounces the ABAP variant of mcp-sap-docs, published at mcp-abap.marianzeis.de for GitHub Copilot'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. Copilot in Eclipse is where the post puts the weight, because SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities in Eclipse is not available for S/4HANA on-premise systems; an update of 2026-02-05 adds Software Heroes as an online source and an abap_feature_matrix tool that checks feature availability across releases and ABAP Cloud, and the server runs hosted or locally with Node or Docker.published 2026-02-04

History
- ui5-fe-mockserver-tutorialform is tutorial, on the README's first line: "Tutorial for using `@sap-ux/ui5-middleware-fe-mockserver` in SAP Fiori development." The repository was published for Devtoberfest 2025 and the SAP Community post the README links calls it a tutorial from Devtoberfest, so workshop was considered and left out: form is one value, and what this presents itself as is a tutorial with exercise folders, not CodeJam material.
- ui5-fe-mockserver-tutorialThe README's Prerequisites tell the reader to clone and run that CAP project before starting, and the fact was already in what_it_solves with no edge under it. artifact:marianfoo-ui5-call-action was a pending draft when this entry was written and is published now, so the plain link in the prose became a graph link in the same pass, as did ui5-middleware-odata-recorder.

This intake follows the maintainer’s explicit request after the September source sweep passed it over for lacking a workspace capability; that concern now exists as Agent workspaces. The served views describe which users the project-owned install catalog addresses. Werkbank provides the workspace; each selected connector or skill supplies the stack-specific behavior. No SAP implementation capability is attributed to Werkbank itself.
- cap-materialbom-graphDrafted from the repository's own files, because its README is the unedited `cds init` template and the only sentence the maintainer wrote about it is the repository description, "This is a sample to show the Material as Network Graph in a Fiori elements app": db/schema.cds for the model and the GraphNetwork pseudo-entity, srv/service.js for the READ handler that walks the bill of materials, app/material/webapp/manifest.json for the list report and object page generated from `@sap/generator-fiori:lrop` and the custom section, the graph fragment for `sap.suite.ui.commons.networkgraph`, and package.json for `@sap/cds` ^8 and `@cap-js/sqlite`. artifact_type sample and use_as starting-point are a placement: one commit, a local SQLite run and no deployment described. domain ui-and-frontend-bridge follows the half of it the sample is about, as on cap-sflight. No licence is recorded: the repository has no LICENSE file and package.json carries the `cds init` defaults "license": "UNLICENSED" and "private": true.
- ui5-errorhandler-sampleIts own README states the subject: "This sample shows how to use npm packages", with "How to consume a UI5 AMD style module" and "How to consume a classic js class" as the two examples. That places it on capability:ui5-build-tooling, where artifact:ui5-community-ui5-tooling-modules already sits, rather than anywhere near error handling: the error handler is the payload being consumed and not what the sample teaches. demonstrates rather than provides, because a sample is evidence. compat.runtimes is package.json's @ui5/cli devDependency. The last description sentence is the README's `"@marianfoo/ui5-errorhandler": "^0.0.4"` set against package.json's `"@marianfoo/ui5-cc-errorhandler": "^0.0.1"` on main, both read on 2026-09-25. The library itself, marianfoo/ui5-errorhandler, was read in the same batch and not drafted; see the manifest note. GitHub reported this repository as a fork on 2026-09-25 and its README credits easy-ui5 rather than an upstream repository, so no lineage is written here: the fork flag is crawled and lineage needs the maintainer's own sentence.
- ui5-fe-mockserver-tutorialSample with use_as reference, following artifact:sap-samples-manage-apis-codejam: a repository of exercises is evidence that something works and never an option to depend on. It demonstrates capability:ui5-testing because that capability's core coverage already names "an OData V2 mock server for a backend stand-in" as what SAP ships, and capability:ui5-build-tooling because the mockserver is registered as UI5 Tooling custom middleware in ui5-mock.yaml. compat.runtimes is the README's Required Tools, "**Node.js** (20 LTS or higher)". @sap-ux/ui5-middleware-fe-mockserver, the middleware being taught, has no entry of its own, so it stands in the prose as a code span and the README's own pointer to SAP/open-ux-odata is linked out. No licence is stated anywhere in the repository, so identity is absent.
- ui5-plugin-loaderbuild-tool and capability:ui5-build-tooling for the same reason its four named neighbours carry them: it is registered in the customMiddleware and customTasks blocks of ui5.yaml and does its work inside `ui5 serve` and `ui5 build`. compat.runtimes is the README's Requirements section, "**Node.js v18.0.0 or higher**"; identity.license is the README's License section and the npm record, both MIT. No flavors: the README states no UI5 flavor, and absent is not a claim. One discrepancy for an editor rather than the entry: the npm record for ui5-plugin-loader 0.2.0, published 2025-07-23, gives its repository as git+https://github.com/marianzeis/ui5-plugin-loader.git, while the source read here is github.com/marianfoo/ui5-plugin-loader; the npm description, "Auto-mounts UI5 tooling extensions based on manifest JSON files", and the 0.2.x version line both match this README.
- ui5-cc-pdfviewerRead out of the marianfoo account listing. No lineage edge: the README states the fork of lemaiwo/UI5LabLibraryPDFViewer, and that repository is not in the corpus, so the fact is carried in the description rather than pointed at an id that does not resolve.
- ui5-lib-diffRead out of the marianfoo account listing. capability:documentation reads core-only on the UI5 door on the grounds that every provider there is SAP-published; this is an independent one, so that reading needs reassessing rather than carrying over.
- ui5-middleware-odata-recorderRead out of the marianfoo account listing. Two provides edges because the two halves are different claims: it is a UI5 server middleware, and what it produces is the mock-server dataset that capability:ui5-testing's core coverage already names as the framework's backend stand-in.
- mcp-sap-docsCorrected against the README: its offline-sources table lists seventeen repositories, abap-docs-standard through wdi5.
- mcp-sap-docsNamed 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.
