How to Set Up and Use SAP BW Modeling MCP
The SAP BW Modeling MCP Server connects AI assistants to live SAP BW/4HANA systems, enabling agentic AI to create and modify BW objects — aDSOs, InfoObjects, Transformations, DataTransfer Processes, and DataSources — through natural language instructions. It also supports read-only analysis workflows including data lineage tracing, query execution with variable support, and Process Chain inspection. Teams migrating to BW/4HANA or building new data models can dramatically accelerate development by describing requirements in plain language instead of navigating the BW Modeling Tools GUI.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later and npm
- Access to a running SAP BW/4HANA system (BW_URL endpoint reachable from your machine)
- SAP credentials with BW modeling permissions (BW_USER, BW_PASSWORD, BW_CLIENT)
- For OAuth/SAML systems: a browser-exported cookie file (BW_COOKIE_FILE)
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop or VS Code with Copilot
Install the package globally via npm
Install bw-modeling-mcp from npm to make it available as a command on your PATH.
npm install -g bw-modeling-mcpVerify the installation
Confirm the binary is available and the version resolves correctly.
npx bw-modeling --versionGather your BW system connection details
You will need the system URL (e.g. https://myhost:50001), your SAP username and password, and the client number. For SSO environments, export your browser cookies to a file.
Add the server to Claude Desktop
Edit claude_desktop_config.json and add the mcpServers block shown below with your actual BW system values.
Restart Claude Desktop and verify connection
After restarting, ask Claude to list available BW InfoAreas or query a BW object. A successful response confirms the server can reach your SAP system.

Client configuration
Add this to claude_desktop_config.json. All five environment variables are required for basic username/password authentication.

Representative modeling and analysis requests that the server can execute against a live BW/4HANA system.
- "Create a write-interface aDSO named ZTEST_ADSO in InfoArea ZTEST with fields: customer ID, order date, revenue amount"
- "Trace the complete data lineage for aDSO ZSALES_ADSO upstream to all DataSources"
- "List all active InfoObjects in InfoArea ZFINANCE"
- "Execute DTP ZDTP_LOAD_SALES and check the load request status"
- "Show me the Process Chain ZPC_NIGHTLY_LOAD including all steps and dependencies"Troubleshooting SAP BW Modeling MCP
Connection refused or timeout when reaching BW_URL
Confirm the BW_URL is reachable from your machine (try curl -k https://your-bw-host:50001). ICM HTTP/HTTPS services must be active on the BW system and the port open in any firewall.
Authentication error (403 or login failure) with username/password
Verify BW_USER, BW_PASSWORD, and BW_CLIENT are correct. The client number must be zero-padded to three digits (e.g. '100', not '1'). For systems using OAuth/SAML, set BW_COOKIE_FILE to a valid browser-exported cookie file.
Modeling operations succeed but changes are not visible in BW Modeling Tools
All changes are applied live to the system immediately. If they do not appear in BWMT, trigger a metadata refresh or check the transport layer — objects may need activation or transport to be visible.
