In file-based environments that works out of the box; complex systems need dedicated access capabilities. Whatever the environment, the agent also needs project- and framework-specific context, so it understands the thing in front of it rather than guessing from what it remembers of its training data. The transport is incidental: an MCP server, a language server or a CLI answer the same question, and what differs between them is how much of the real thing the agent can see. Distinct from MCP servers, which is a protocol adapter on your own running service, and from agent guidance, which is knowledge handed over as files rather than read from the thing itself.SAP and community, unassessed explains. create_ui5_app scaffolds a new JavaScript or TypeScript project, standalone or inside an existing CAP application, from templates with pre-configured OData model setups, which is generatorsGeneratorsGetting from nothing to a project that runs, and from a project that runs to one that has the piece you just decided you need.

UI5 MCP Server Got Extended for UI Integration Cards GenerationpublishedVersion 0.2.1 of the 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 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 The post frames these as closing the same gaps as the server's existing tools — an LLM's outdated or wrong card API knowledge — this time for scaffolding and validating a card rather than a full app.Agent access to your code

UI5 Plugins for Coding Agents: Now Supporting GitHub CopilotpublishedUI5/plugins-coding-agentsUI5/plugins-coding-agentsUI5's own plugins for coding agents, three of them: everyday development, modernising a legacy project, and converting one to TypeScript, each installed into Claude Code or GitHub Copilot.sap official, ui5 renames itself from "UI5 Plugins for Claude", since the plugin concept — skills, MCP server, guidelines — was always agent-agnostic, and with v0.1.3 adds GitHub CopilotGitHub CopilotAn AI coding assistant built into GitHub, with agents that can use external tools and MCP servers. support alongside Claude Code through Awesome GitHub Copilot. Three skills join the ui5 plugin: ui5-best-practices-integration-cards for UI Integration Card manifest and binding rules, ui5-best-practices-opa5, which uses a TestRecorder to inspect the running app's control tree and generate waitFor snippets, and ui5-best-practices-tables, a selection guide across UI5's table controls.

AI-assisted SAP development with MCPpublishedA 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@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 reading an OpenUI5 sample app and converting it to TypeScript, 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 grounding Terraform files for a BTP subaccount the presenter had not written before, and arc-1arc-1An MCP server in front of the ADT REST API that runs locally and on Cloud Foundry with twelve tools that read, search, write, activate, lint and transport ABAP objects.independent, abap with Copilot in Eclipse tracing why a title longer than 40 characters is rejected and proposing the DDIC-allowed length instead.

Beyond copilots: Agentic development with SAPUI5publishedDevtoberfest 2026 session UI-12, from the SAPUI5 team, on the year of work behind UI5/plugins-coding-agentsUI5/plugins-coding-agentsUI5's own plugins for coding agents, three of them: everyday development, modernising a legacy project, and converting one to TypeScript, each installed into Claude Code or GitHub Copilot.sap official, ui5: 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@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 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.Agent guidance
Bring "developers.sap.com" Into Your Dev Environment: SAP Developer Context for AI Coding AgentspublishedDevtoberfest 2026 session FA-11: a tour of the rebuilt developers.sap.com by the team that runs it, from the administration screens behind the home page to the agent interfaces in front of it. The site is a CAP application on SAP HANA CloudSAP HANA CloudThe managed database under most of this: CAP's default target, the store Datasphere and Analytics Cloud sit on, and a service with plans and components.sap official, btp and SAP BTP, open-sourced in full, and the half of the session that places it here is how its content reaches an agent: every tutorial is also served as markdown, a coding agent is detected and given that version instead of the HTML, a well-known agent card advertises what the site offers, and SAP Developers MCPSAP Developers MCPThe hosted MCP server of developers.sap.com, over which an agent searches SAP's tutorials, reads missions and queries the site's knowledge graph of tutorials and concepts.sap official, umbrella answers questions about tutorials, news and a reader's own completion history in Claude Code and Joule Desktop, over OAuth or a personal access token. Behind the answers sit two things working together: a knowledge graph in the HANA database over 1400 tutorials and 11,000 concepts, and SAP AI CoreSAP AI CoreSAP's AI service on BTP: the runtime for AI assets, and through the Generative AI Hub inside it the access to foundation models, the orchestration service with its templating, masking, filtering and grounding modules, the Prompt Registry and Document Grounding.sap official, btp for the Joule interactions and the embeddings, with the agent harness written for the site rather than taken off a shelf.

Bringing SAP themes to any web app with coding agentspublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session from SAP's UI theme designer team, in two halves. The first is how an SAP theme is built: seven reference tokens, the main tokens that carry the semantics, component tokens such as the emphasized button background, and derived tokens for states like hover — the inheritance chain that makes themingThemingApplying a consistent visual identity across every control, including the parameters an app may read and the custom themes an organisation may build.SAP only hard to follow by eye, and the reason a custom theme always derives from an SAP base theme. The second installs SAP/ui-theme-designer-plugins-for-coding-agentsSAP/ui-theme-designer-plugins-for-coding-agentsOne plugin that teaches a coding agent the SAP Design System, Fiori design tokens, and which theming parameters a given control actually reads, installed into Claude Code or GitHub Copilot.sap official, ui5 in Claude Code and has it apply SAP design tokens to a login screen built with a non-SAP component library, then make the page themeable from a theme root and a theme URL parameter; the design-tokens skill npm-installs the theming content to read current parameter values, and the help skill fetches the UI theme designer help pages at query time. The presenters state the skills are not limited to SAPUI5 and run in any coding agent that reads skills.Agent guidance

Intelligent App Development at Scale: SAP Fiori Elements + ABAP Development Tools for VS CodepublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session (UI-33) that builds a RAP service and the SAP Fiori elements app over it from one VS Code workspace, with a coding agent driving two of SAP's MCP servers. The ABAP Development Tools for VS CodeABAP Development Tools for VS CodeSAP's ABAP tools in VS Code: editing, debugging, ABAP Unit, ATC and transports for classes, CDS and RAP objects, over RFC to an on-premise or Private Cloud system and HTTP to a cloud one, with Joule's ADT MCP server and code completion behind an AI-unit licence.sap official, abap edges hold on the demo itself: its virtual file system keeps the ABAP package beside the Fiori project, the ADT MCP ServerADT MCP ServerSAP's own ADT MCP server, and not a package: a preference inside ABAP Development Tools for VS Code that starts a local HTTP MCP server on a port you choose.sap official, abap inside it creates, changes and activates the ABAP objects, and a version not yet released publishes the service binding from the agent instead of by hand.

Playing a procurement manager, one presenter states the intent in the browser, answers the clarifying questions, watches the fit-gap analysis name the S/4HANA APIs the use case needs, and pushes the intent and requirements document to GitHub; the other clones it and carries on in a terminal, logging in with the jl command line@sap/joule-work-dev-cli-early-adoptersjl, the pro-code CLI of the new Joule Studio: a solution is a folder with a solution.yaml and typed assets, validated, built into a zip and deployed to Joule Studio's managed runtime, with Claude Code or OpenCode wired in over MCP.

secondsky/sap-skillstype properties, flavors revisedRead today in the two plugins that answer the CAP and the UI5 door, which the ABAP pass had not opened. The sap-cap-capire skill's frontmatter states that it covers Node.js and Java runtimes, so CAP's two flavors rest on the maintainer's sentence where the entry previously answered in both by the serves-another-door fallback, which is the same reading off an absence. The sapui5 skill's frontmatter names freestyle apps and Fiori elements apps in one clause, so freestyle is stated, and fiori-elements moves onto that sentence from the README line about which request activates sap-fiori-tools, which said what triggers a plugin rather than what it covers. Nothing read names UI5 Web Components, so that flavor stays unstated. Stating freestyle changes an answer: the entry answered no there while it stated one UI5 flavor and now answers yes, which a reader comparing that flavor's options will see. The ABAP pair is unchanged.Agent guidance
