README
ADT MCP Server
This repository provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for ABAP Development Tools (ADT), exposing various ABAP repository-read tools (program, class, function, include, interface, structure, table, where-used, etc.) over a standardized MCP interface.
π Now includes SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) support with JWT authentication and service key utilities!
π Quick Start: See QUICK_START.md for immediate setup instructions.
π Client Connections: See MCP_CLIENT_CONNECTIONS.md for connecting to Cline, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients.
π Documentation: Complete documentation is available in the doc/ folder.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.9+
- pip (the Python package installer)
- A running SAP ABAP system with ADT services enabled
- A
.envfile in the project root with your SAP connection settings (see below)
Setup
-
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/<your-org>/<your-repo>.git cd <your-repo>Note: The MCP server can now be run from any directory, not just the project directory. See REMOTE_CONNECTION_GUIDE.md for details.
Transport Options: The server supports multiple transport protocols: STDIO (default), SSE, and Streamable HTTP.
-
Create and activate a virtual environment
python -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate # Linux/macOS .\.venv\Scripts\activate # Windows -
Install dependencies
pip install mcp "mcp[cli]"Then install:
pip install -r requirements.txt -
Configure environment variables

π BTP Integration
This server now includes comprehensive SAP BTP support with:
- JWT Token Authentication for BTP ABAP systems
- Service Key Parsing and analysis
- Automatic .env Generation from BTP service keys
- CLI Utility for easy configuration management
Quick BTP Setup
- Download your service key from BTP cockpit
- Generate .env file using the CLI utility:
python btp_env_generator.py --service-key service-key.json --username your-user@company.com --prompt-password - Use the generated .env file in your project
For complete BTP integration details, see BTP_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md.

Troubleshooting
"MCP error -32000: Connection closed" Error
If you get this error when connecting from another directory:
-
Make sure you use the full path to the server:
python /full/path/to/mcp-adt/mcp_server.py -
Check MCP client configuration:
{ "mcpServers": { "adt-server": { "command": "python", "args": ["/full/path/to/mcp-adt/mcp_server.py"] } } } -
Run connection test:
python /path/to/mcp-adt/test_remote_connection.py -
Check logs:
- Log file is created in project directory:
mcp_server.log - Check for import or configuration errors
- Log file is created in project directory:
Other Common Issues
- ModuleNotFoundError: Make sure all dependencies are installed:
pip install -r requirements.txt - .env file issues: File is automatically searched in project directory
- Permission issues: On Linux/macOS you may need
chmod +x mcp_server.py
