Mdk MCP server

Welcome to @sap/mdk-mcp-server

What is MCP server for Mobile Development Kit (MDK)?

This open-source server provides AI agents with comprehensive MDK knowledge and tools. By combining best practice guidelines, project-aware context information, templates for creating new projects, and access to the MDK CLI tools, the MDK MCP server transforms AI agents into MDK development experts.

What is Mobile Development Kit?

The mobile development kit is a powerful framework that enables developers to build cross-platform mobile applications using a metadata-driven approach. It is part of SAP Business Technology Platform and integrates tightly with SAP Mobile Services. Some of SAP’s larger and complex mobile apps are built using MDK. An example is SAP Service and Asset Manager.

Setup

Platform Support

The MDK MCP server supports the following platforms:

• macOS: Apple Silicon (ARM64) only
• ⚠️ Note: Intel Mac (x64) is not supported in v0.4.0+ due to onnxruntime-node ≥1.24 dropping darwin/x64 binaries
• Linux: x64, ARM64, and other architectures
• Windows: x64, ARM64

If you're on an Intel Mac, you may need to:

• Use Rosetta 2 to run the ARM64 version (performance may vary)
• Or stay on an earlier version that uses onnxruntime-node <1.24

Installation Steps

1. Install node.js 24.11.1.

1. To install the MDK MCP server, you have two options:

a. Use npm to install it from the public npmjs registry at @sap/mdk-mcp-server.

npm install -g @sap/mdk-mcp-server

b. Clone the open-source code repository at https://github.com/SAP/mdk-mcp-server, and use npm to install.

git clone https://github.com/SAP/mdk-mcp-server.git 
      cd mdk-mcp-server 
      npm i
      npm run build
      npm i -g @sap/mdk-mcp-server@.

1. Configure your MCP client (AI agent) to connect to the server. Note that configuration will vary depending on the AI agent used.

Cline in VS Code: Example using the Cline extension.

• With Cline open, look below the prompt box and click Manage MCP Servers.
• In the dialog, click Settings. The MCP Servers page opens.
• Click Configure MCP Servers. This will open the clinemcpsettings.json file in your editor.
• In the JSON settings file, add a configuration block for MDK MCP server within the mcpServers section, and save the file. The supported schema versions include 26.6 (default), 26.3, 25.9, 25.6, 24.11, and 24.7.

          "args": ["--schema-version", "26.6"]
        }
      }
    }

Note:

If the MCP server is not listed with its available tools in the Cline extension immediately, restart VS Code.
