How to Set Up and Use SAP OData to MCP
The SAP OData to MCP Server dynamically transforms any SAP S/4HANA, SAP ECC, or BTP-hosted OData service into a conversational AI interface by exposing all OData endpoints as MCP tools at runtime—no hardcoded schema required. Its three-step progressive discovery architecture lets AI assistants first search for services, then inspect entity schemas, and finally execute full CRUD operations against live SAP data. Business analysts and SAP developers use it to query ERP data, create purchase orders, update master records, and explore SAP entity relationships all through natural language without writing ABAP or OData queries.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18.x or higher with npm and npx
- Access to a SAP S/4HANA, SAP ECC, or BTP system with OData services enabled
- SAP user credentials with appropriate authorization objects for the OData services you intend to access
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
Verify Node.js version
Confirm you have Node.js 18 or later installed, as required by the server.
node --versionRun the server with npx
Launch the SAP OData MCP server directly using npx. This downloads and runs the latest version without a permanent install.
npx -y btp-sap-odata-to-mcp-serverAdd the server to your MCP client configuration
Configure Claude Desktop to connect to the server by editing claude_desktop_config.json. Provide your SAP system base URL and credentials in the env block.

}Discover SAP services using the AI assistant
Once connected, ask the AI to discover available OData services using the discover-sap-data tool. It returns lightweight metadata so the AI knows what services exist.
Explore entity schemas and execute operations
Use get-entity-metadata to retrieve the full field schema for any entity, then use execute-sap-operation to run read, create, update, or delete operations with proper field names.

Connection refused or network errors when connecting to SAP_BASE_URL
Verify the SAP_BASE_URL is accessible from your machine—try opening it in a browser. For BTP systems, ensure you are on the correct network or VPN. The URL should point to the OData service catalog root, not an individual entity set.
execute-sap-operation returns 403 Unauthorized for create or update operations
Your SAP user needs the appropriate authorization objects for write operations (e.g., S_SERVICE for OData service access, and object-specific authorizations). Contact your SAP Basis administrator to grant the required roles.
