mcp-sap-cpi

An open-source MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects Claude to SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI). Ask Claude to diagnose failed messages, review iFlows, deploy artifacts, check credentials, and more — directly from your conversation.

What it does

Related MCP server: abap-mcpb

Requirements

• Node.js 18+

• SAP CPI tenant (Integration Suite or standalone CPI)

• BTP service key with Process Integration Runtime role (it-rt plan)

Installation

npm install -g mcp-sap-cpi

Or run without installing:

npx mcp-sap-cpi

Configuration

1. Get your BTP service key

In SAP BTP Cockpit:

1. Go to your subaccount → Services → Instances and Subscriptions

2. Create a service instance: Process Integration Runtime → plan it-rt

3. Create a service key → copy the JSON

From the service key JSON, extract:

• url → CPI_TENANT_URL

• tokenurl → CPI_TOKEN_URL

• clientid → CPI_CLIENT_ID

• clientsecret → CPI_CLIENT_SECRET

2. Set environment variables

Create a .env file (or set in your Claude Desktop config — see below):

CPI_TENANT_URL=https://<tenant>.it-cpi.cfapps.<region>.hana.ondemand.com
CPI_TOKEN_URL=https://<subdomain>.authentication.<region>.hana.ondemand.com/oauth/token
CPI_CLIENT_ID=sb-<your-client-id>
CPI_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret>

3. Register with Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sap-cpi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-sap-cpi"],
      "env": {
        "CPI_TENANT_URL": "https://<tenant>.it-cpi.cfapps.<region>.hana.ondemand.com",
        "CPI_TOKEN_URL": "https://<subdomain>.authentication.<region>.hana.ondemand.com/oauth/token",
        "CPI_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
        "CPI_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Register with Claude Code

claude mcp add sap-cpi npx mcp-sap-cpi \
  -e CPI_TENANT_URL=https://<tenant>.it-cpi.cfapps.<region>.hana.ondemand.com \
  -e CPI_TOKEN_URL=https://<subdomain>.authentication.<region>.hana.ondemand.com/oauth/token \
  -e CPI_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id \
  -e CPI_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret

list_artifacts

List all artifacts in a package.

Example prompt: "List all iFlows in the HR_Integration package"

get_artifact

deploy_artifact

Deploy an artifact version to the runtime.

Example prompt: "Deploy the Employee_Sync iFlow"

undeploy_artifact

Undeploy an artifact from the runtime.

Security Artifacts

Example conversations

Diagnose a failed message:

"Why did my HR_Employee_Sync iFlow fail? Show me the last error."

"List all keystore entries in CPI and flag any expiring within 90 days."

Deploy after a fix:

"Deploy the Order_Processing iFlow to the runtime."

Audit credentials:

"What OAuth2 credentials are configured in my CPI tenant?"

System overview:

"Give me a health check — how many iFlows are running vs in error?"

Local development

cd mcp-sap-cpi
npm install
cp .env.example .env
# fill in your CPI credentials in .env
npm run dev
