ADT MCP (Python)

Multi-system MCP server for reading and writing ABAP source via SAP ADT, with a local web admin to configure systems. One process serves both the MCP endpoint (/mcp) and the web admin (/).

Install

cd adt-mcp
python -m pip install -e .
# dev/test deps:
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Run

python -m adt_mcp        # or: adt-mcp
# → http://127.0.0.1:8765  (MCP at /mcp, admin at /)

Open http://127.0.0.1:8765 to add SAP systems (URL, client, language, auth). Config is stored in systems.json (gitignored). See systems.example.json. Cookie systems can be (re)authenticated from the web admin via a browser login.

Connect Claude Code

Add to .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sap-adt": { "type": "http", "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp" }
  }
}

Tools

Read / navigate:

list_systems, list_package, search_objects
get_source, get_source_by_uri, get_class_method_source, get_class_include, get_object_structure, get_package_source
grep_package, find_references (where-used), cds_dependencies
get_context (object + compressed dependencies)
get_revisions, get_revision_source, compare_source

Write (gated by safety, see below):

update_source, update_class_include, activate
create_object (CLAS / INTF / DDLS / DDLX / BDEF / SRVD / SRVB / TABL)

Cookie maintenance: refresh_cookies_for.

Write safety

Writes are off by default. Per system in systems.json:

allow_write: true — required to enable any create/update.
write_packages: ["Z*", "$TMP"] — target package must match (default).

Delete is intentionally not supported.

Token economy

Tool schemas are sent to the model on every turn. Set ADT_MCP_TOOLS=core to expose only the essential ~13 tools (≈40% smaller schema); default full exposes all 21. Descriptions are kept terse.

ADT_MCP_TOOLS=core python -m adt_mcp

Test

python -m pytest -v

Security

systems.json, cookies/, *-cookies.txt hold session secrets and are gitignored — never commit them.
The server binds 127.0.0.1 only.
