Implementation Reference
- src/adt-client.ts:140-158 (handler)Core handler: AdtClient.createTransport() that builds an XML request and POSTs to /sap/bc/adt/cts/transports to create a transport request.
async createTransport(devclass: string, description: string, ref = "", operation = "I_CTS_OBJECT_CHECK"): Promise<string> { const xml = `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0"> <asx:values> <DATA> <OPERATION>${this.escapeXml(operation)}</OPERATION> <DEVCLASS>${this.escapeXml(devclass)}</DEVCLASS> <REQUEST_TEXT>${this.escapeXml(description)}</REQUEST_TEXT> <REF>${this.escapeXml(ref)}</REF> </DATA> </asx:values> </asx:abap>`; return (await this.postWithCsrf( "/sap/bc/adt/cts/transports", xml, "*/*", "application/vnd.sap.as+xml; charset=UTF-8; dataname=com.sap.adt.transport.service.createData" )).data as string; } - src/mcp-server.ts:1106-1110 (handler)MCP tool handler for 'create_transport': parses args using CreateTransportSchema and delegates to AdtClient.createTransport()

const CreateTransportSchema = z.object({ devclass: z.string(), description: z.string(), ref: z.string().optional(), operation: z.string().optional(), }); - src/mcp-server.ts:461-475 (registration)Tool registration in ListToolsRequestSchema handler, defining the create_transport tool with its input schema
