ABAPilot — AI & MCP Server for SAP ECC and On-Premise S/4HANA

ABAPilot is an in-system AI platform for SAP: natural-language business queries and AI-assisted ABAP development on the systems you already run — SAP ECC 6.0 through on-premise S/4HANA (any ABAP-based SAP instance). No BTP, no ADT, no RISE prerequisites. Deploys in ~2 hours.

Install the connector: npx -y abapilot · requires a licensed ABAPilot backend

Quick start

  "mcpServers": {
    "abapilot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "abapilot"],
      "env": {

Your SAP credentials go only to your SAP system — never to us or any third party.

How it works

• Inside SAP: pure-ABAP add-on delivered as a transport into the registered /ABAPILOT/ namespace, attached to a single SICF (ICF) node with dynamic per-endpoint dispatch. No kernel changes, no Gateway, no BTP, no ADT/Eclipse dependency.
• On your network: this MCP connector (npx abapilot) links any MCP client — Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT — to the SAP-side endpoints.
• Your model: BYOK for Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Amazon Bedrock — or fully local via Ollama for zero-data-retention deployments.

Tools

• sap_read_table_data — query rows from any SAP table with optional WHERE filtering, under the calling user's authorizations
• sap_read_table_structure — field definitions of a table or structure: names, types, lengths, key fields, descriptions
• sap_search_tables — search the SAP Data Dictionary by keyword ('vendor' finds LFA1, LFB1, …)
• sap_read_code — read ABAP source from the connected system: programs, classes, function groups, includes, interfaces
• sap_read_where_used — cross-reference lookup (like SE84), forward and reverse
• sap_syntax_check — validate ABAP source against the connected system's release-accurate syntax rules (ECC 6.0 included)
• sap_read_dumps — read ST22 runtime errors (short dumps)
• sap_read_jobs — read SM37 background jobs: status, runtime, scheduling

The connector's tool list follows the /ABAPILOT/CONFIG whitelist in your system — remove an endpoint there and the tool stops working, no client change needed. The full licensed platform exposes 80+ endpoints (natural-language query resolution, code generation, posting with approval gates, monitoring, transports).

Security model

• Every call runs under the SAP user's own authorizations (S_TABU_DIS, S_DEVELOP, …) — enforced, not reimplemented
• Exposure limited to the /ABAPILOT/CONFIG whitelist table; anything not whitelisted is unreachable
• Full audit trail in /ABAPILOT/AUDIT (user, timestamp, parameters)
• Read-only by default; write operations require explicit configuration

Getting access

ABAPilot is a commercial product by Crimson Consulting SL (Valencia, Spain). The npm connector is free (MIT); the in-system backend is licensed.

Why not SAP's ABAP MCP Server?

Different jobs: SAP's server (inside ADT for Eclipse/VS Code) is excellent for developer assistance on systems with modern ADT services. ABAPilot adds what it doesn't cover: business-user queries, systems without ADT services (most real-world ECC 6.0), governed whitelist+audit access, and model choice including fully local. Many teams run both — full comparison here.
