Sap Cds MCP

Welcome to @cap-js/mcp-server

About This Project

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP). Use it for AI-assisted development of CAP applications (agentic coding).

The server helps AI models answer questions such as:

• Which CDS services are in this project, and where are they served?
• What are the entities about and how do they relate?
• How do I add columns to a select statement in CAP Node.js?
