ABAPilot MCP server

ABAPilot — MCP connector for ABAP development on SAP ECC and S/4HANA

ABAPilot by Crimson Consulting connects AI coding assistants to SAP ECC and on-premise S/4HANA. Use SAP source code and dictionary context to understand existing ABAP, review proposed changes and support development from your preferred MCP-capable coding client.

The connector is free and MIT-licensed. Connecting to SAP requires a licensed ABAPilot backend installed in your system.

Evidence you can inspect

• Four-installation operational checks, 9 September 2026: two ECC and two S/4HANA installations passed dictionary reads, component reads, dispatcher-source reads and positive/negative syntax checks. This did not test writes, activation, transports, authorization boundaries or production readiness.
• Public MIT-licensed ABAP REST framework: inspect the table-driven endpoint registry, dispatcher and example handlers. This framework is separate from the licensed ABAPilot backend and is not proof that the checked installations run an identical public commit.
• Published MCP catalog: the npm 1.0.6 connector exposes 49 tools. Catalog discovery is not evidence that every operation works on a particular SAP installation.

Start with an existing ABAP program

Ask your assistant to explain a program using source and dictionary definitions retrieved from SAP. Review the references it used before moving to a proposed change. Available operations depend on the connector version, installed backend and enabled endpoints.

Architecture and prerequisites

The MCP connector runs outside SAP and calls the licensed SAP-side backend. Agree the SAP release, backend version, HTTPS endpoint, individual user permissions and permitted operations with your SAP team before a customer trial.

Start the connector using npx -y abapilot. This command does not install the SAP backend. Follow the linked setup guide for client-specific configuration and secret handling. Pin a reviewed connector version for repeatable team rollouts.

Tools

The current repository catalog lists 49 tools. Availability depends on the installed connector, backend version and enabled endpoints.
