How to Set Up and Use ABAP
The ABAP MCP server gives AI assistants access to a rich offline and online knowledge base covering the ABAP programming language, SAP RAP (RESTful ABAP Programming Model), and the SAP community. It exposes search and fetch tools that let Claude or another MCP client look up ABAP documentation, retrieve full community posts, check feature compatibility across ABAP flavors, lint ABAP code locally, and find real-world workarounds from SAP community discussions — all without leaving your editor.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later (for local build) or direct access to the public hosted endpoint
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or VS Code with MCP support
- Git (if building locally from source)
- No SAP system credentials required for documentation search; a live SAP system is only needed for certain advanced integrations
Choose between hosted and local server
The easiest way to use the ABAP MCP server is via the public hosted endpoint at https://mcp-abap.marianzeis.de/mcp which requires no installation. If you prefer a local build, clone the repository and follow the build steps.
# Option A: use the public hosted endpoint (no install needed)
# Option B: clone and build locally
git clone https://github.com/marianfoo/abap-mcp-server.git
cd abap-mcp-server
npm ci && npm run setup && npm run buildStart the local server (if using local build)
After building, start the server in streamable HTTP mode. By default it listens on port 3124.
npm run start:streamableAdd the hosted endpoint to your MCP client
For Claude Desktop or Claude Code, configure the server to point at the public hosted HTTP endpoint. This requires no local process.
{
"mcpServers": {
"abap-mcp": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp-abap.marianzeis.de/mcp"
}
}
}Add the local endpoint to your MCP client (alternative)
If you are running the server locally, point your MCP client at the local endpoint instead.
{
"mcpServers": {
"abap-mcp": {
"type": "http",
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:3124/mcp"
}
}
}Restart your MCP client and verify
Restart Claude Desktop or your MCP client. The ABAP tools (search, fetch, abap_feature_matrix, sap_community_search, abap_lint) should now appear in your session.

Example prompts to explore ABAP documentation and community knowledge.

- "What ABAP features are available in ABAP Cloud versus classic ABAP?"
- "Search the SAP community for solutions to the ABAP runtime error CALL_FUNCTION_REMOTE_ERROR."
- "Lint this ABAP code snippet and tell me about any style or syntax issues."
- "Fetch the full content of SAP community post ID 12345678."Troubleshooting ABAP
Requests to the hosted endpoint time out or return connection errors
Check https://mcp-abap.marianzeis.de/health in a browser to verify the hosted server is up. If it is down, fall back to building and running the server locally.
Local server fails to start after npm run build
Run npm run setup before npm run build to ensure offline documentation indexes are downloaded. The setup step downloads required data files that are not included in the repository.
abap_lint returns no results or errors on code input
Make sure you are passing clean ABAP source code as a string without leading/trailing markdown fences. The linter expects raw ABAP text, not code blocks.
