About ABAP Accelerator
ABAP Accelerator is an SAP ADT API MCP server for ABAP developers, offering tools to inspect, edit, test, and activate ABAP objects. It runs locally over stdio and can be used with MCP-compatible clients.
Key features
- 01List, search, and read ABAP objects
- 02Create objects and update source code
- 03Check syntax and activate objects
- 04Run ATC checks and unit tests
- 05Inspect migration and transport data
Use cases
- 01Review ABAP objects in an SAP package
- 02Edit and validate ABAP source code
- 03Run quality checks and unit tests
- 04Inspect transport requests and migration analysis
MCP support
Exposes 15 SAP ABAP development tools to MCP clients over stdio, using SAP ADT API connectivity.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEABAP Accelerator MCP Server
SAP ADT API Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for ABAP development. Works with any MCP-compatible client including Claude Code, Amazon Q Developer, Kiro, Cursor, Windsurf, and more.
Fork notice: This is a fork of AWS ABAP Accelerator for Amazon Q Developer, repackaged for PyPI and optimized for local stdio runs. The original project targets Docker/ECS enterprise deployments; this fork focuses on the simplest path:
pip installand go.
Quick Start
pip install abap-accelerator
Create a .env file or set environment variables:
SAP_HOST=your-sap-host.example.com # or host:port (e.g., 10.0.0.1:44300)
SAP_INSTANCE_NUMBER=00 # used to calculate port when SAP_HOST has no port
SAP_CLIENT=100
SAP_USERNAME=your_username
SAP_PASSWORD=your_password
Run:
abap-accelerator
That's it. The server starts in stdio mode and is ready for your MCP client.
MCP Client Configuration
Add to your client's MCP config file:
Claude Code (.mcp.json in project root):
{
"mcpServers": {
"abap-accelerator": {
"command": "abap-accelerator",
"env": {
"SAP_HOST": "your-sap-host.example.com",
"SAP_INSTANCE_NUMBER": "00",
"SAP_CLIENT": "100",
"SAP_USERNAME": "your_username",
"SAP_PASSWORD": "your_password"
}
}
}
}
Amazon Q Developer (~/.aws/amazonq/mcp.json or workspace .amazonq/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"abap-accelerator": {
"command": "abap-accelerator",
"env": {
"SAP_HOST": "your-sap-host.example.com",
"SAP_INSTANCE_NUMBER": "00",
"SAP_CLIENT": "100",
"SAP_USERNAME": "your_username",
"SAP_PASSWORD": "your_password"
}
}
}
}
Kiro (.kiro/settings/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"abap-accelerator": {
"command": "abap-accelerator",
"env": {
"SAP_HOST": "your-sap-host.example.com",
"SAP_INSTANCE_NUMBER": "00",
"SAP_CLIENT": "100",
"SAP_USERNAME": "your_username",
"SAP_PASSWORD": "your_password"
}
}
}
}
Tip: If you run
abap-acceleratorfrom a directory with a.envfile, you can omit theenvblock — the server loads.envautomatically.
Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
SAP_HOST | Yes | - | SAP hostname or host:port |
SAP_INSTANCE_NUMBER | Yes | - | Instance number (00-99), used to calculate port |
SAP_CLIENT | Yes | - | SAP client number (e.g., 100) |
SAP_USERNAME | Yes | - | SAP username |
SAP_PASSWORD | Yes | - | SAP password |
SAP_LANGUAGE | No | EN | SAP language |
SAP_SECURE | No | true | Use HTTPS |
SSL_VERIFY | No | true | Verify SSL certificates (set false for self-signed) |
CUSTOM_CA_CERT_PATH | No | - | Path to custom CA certificate |
LOG_LEVEL | No | INFO | Logging level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR) |
SAP Port Calculation
The server calculates the SAP port from the instance number:
| Instance Number | HTTPS Port | HTTP Port |
|---|---|---|
| 00 | 44300 | 8000 |
| 01 | 44301 | 8001 |
| 02 | 44302 | 8002 |
Formula: HTTPS = 44300 + instance_number, HTTP = 8000 + instance_number
If SAP_HOST includes a port (e.g., 10.0.0.1:44300), the instance number is ignored.

Environment Guidance
This tool provides direct access to ABAP development objects. Use it in non-production environments:
| Intended | Not Recommended |
|---|---|
| Development (DEV) | Production (PRD) |
| Sandbox (SBX) | Pre-production |
| Quality Assurance (QAS) | |
| Test / Training / Demo |
Troubleshooting
SSL Certificate Errors (SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED):
- Set
CUSTOM_CA_CERT_PATHto your corporate CA cert - For testing only: set
SSL_VERIFY=false
Connection Timeout:
- Verify SAP system is reachable from your network
- Check firewall allows port 44300 (or your SAP port)
- Verify SAP ADT services are enabled (transaction SICF)
Debug Logging:
- Set
LOG_LEVEL=DEBUGfor verbose output

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
