This server bridges SAP OData services with AI capabilities through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling intelligent data access, analysis, and business process automation.
Core Capabilities:
Secure SAP Integration: Modular authentication supporting IAS, OAuth2, JWT, Basic Auth, and API keys with role-based access control and principal propagation
Service Discovery: Pattern-based filtering and whitelisting for simplified SAP OData service exploration
Intelligent Querying: Natural language to OData conversion through Smart Query Router and Natural Query Builder
CRUD Operations: Direct create, read, update, and delete operations with optimized query performance
AI-Powered Analytics: Smart data analysis for patterns, trends, forecasts, correlations, and business process insights with predictive modeling
Real-time Data: WebSocket streaming for continuous SAP data updates with configurable frequency
Dynamic UI Generation: Create SAP Fiori-styled forms, data grids, dashboards, workflows, and drill-down reports
KPI Management: Comprehensive dashboard building and business intelligence reporting with real-time visualization
Cloud-Native Deployment: Optimized for SAP BTP Cloud Foundry with health monitoring, structured logging, and graceful shutdown
Enables natural language interactions with SAP S/4HANA or ECC systems by exposing all OData services as dynamic MCP tools, supporting CRUD operations on entities like customers, purchase orders, banks, and other business data through conversational queries.
SAP OData to AI-Powered MCP Server (Optimized)
This repository is an enterprise-ready MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that bridges SAP OData services with AI capabilities. Based on the original project btp-sap-odata-to-mcp-server by @lemaiwo, this optimized version features enhanced security, simplified configuration, modular authentication, and comprehensive Cloud Foundry integration.
