How to Set Up and Use SAP BDC
The SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) MCP Server bridges Databricks-hosted data assets with AI assistants through 7 purpose-built tools covering Delta Sharing, data product publishing, Common Semantic Notation (CSN) generation, and end-to-end share orchestration. It connects to your Databricks workspace via a personal access token and a recipient name, allowing Claude or any MCP client to create or update shares, validate share readiness, publish data products, and generate CSN templates from existing Databricks shares — all without writing Python or SQL manually.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.9+ installed on the host machine
- A Databricks workspace with Delta Sharing enabled
- A Databricks personal access token with appropriate permissions
- A Databricks recipient name configured for Delta Sharing
- Claude Desktop or another MCP-compatible AI client
Install the package from PyPI
Install the SAP BDC MCP Server using pip. This pulls in all required dependencies including the Databricks SDK and MCP framework.
pip install sap-bdc-mcp-serverCreate a .env file with your Databricks credentials
The server requires four environment variables to connect to your Databricks workspace. Create a .env file in your working directory.
DATABRICKS_RECIPIENT_NAME=your_recipient_name
DATABRICKS_HOST=https://your-workspace.cloud.databricks.com
DATABRICKS_TOKEN=your_databricks_personal_access_token
LOG_LEVEL=INFOVerify the server starts correctly
Run the server manually to confirm credentials are valid and the Databricks connection succeeds before wiring it into your AI client.
python -m sap_bdc_mcp.server
# or use the installed CLI entry point
sap-bdc-mcpAdd the server to Claude Desktop configuration
Open claude_desktop_config.json and add the sap-bdc entry. Pass credentials as environment variables so they are available to the subprocess.

}Prompts to try
Use natural language to orchestrate Delta Sharing and data product workflows through Claude.
- "Create a share called customer_analytics that includes the table main.analytics.customers"
- "Validate whether the share named customer_data_share is ready for BDC registration"
- "Generate a CSN template from the existing Databricks share sales_data"
- "Publish the customer_analytics data product with version 1.0.0 and a description of our customer dataset"
- "Run a full end-to-end provision of the product_catalog share with ORD metadata"Troubleshooting SAP BDC
Authentication error connecting to Databricks
Verify DATABRICKS_HOST includes the full URL with https:// and no trailing slash. Confirm your DATABRICKS_TOKEN is a valid personal access token (starts with 'dapi') and has the required Delta Sharing permissions in your workspace.
Delta Sharing recipient not found
The DATABRICKS_RECIPIENT_NAME must exactly match a recipient configured in your Unity Catalog Delta Sharing settings. Run 'SHOW RECIPIENTS' in Databricks SQL to list valid recipient names.
Server not appearing in Claude Desktop
Ensure python is on the PATH that Claude Desktop uses. Try specifying the full path to the python executable (e.g., /usr/local/bin/python3) in the command field. Also confirm sap-bdc-mcp-server was installed in the same Python environment.
