An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that lets AI assistants work in **SAP GUI for Windows**: ask in plain language, and the assistant reads screens and tables, fills in fields, runs transactions and handles popups, through SAP's own Scripting API. A save with F11 or the Save button waits for your yes ([what asks](https://github.com/kts982/mcp-sap-gui/blob/master/docs/CONFIRMATIONS.md)).

It works with any MCP client that can start a local server: Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Google Antigravity and others.

## What it does

- **Looks things up:** display transactions, fields, ALV grids, table controls, classic report lists and trees, read in full however long they are.
- **Fills in and changes:** fields, checkboxes, dropdowns, whole forms, table cells, F4 value help, table maintenance and IMG activities.
- **Navigates:** transactions, buttons, function keys, menus, tabs, SPRO and other trees.
- **Handles popups**, recognising questions, warnings, F4 lists and SAP messages in any logon language.
- **Shows before it saves:** a preview of the screen and the values about to be written, and screenshots on request.

## Requirements

- Windows with SAP GUI for Windows (8.10 verified, 8.00 works; [SAP GUI versions](https://github.com/kts982/mcp-sap-gui/blob/master/docs/SAP_GUI_VERSIONS.md)), and SAP Logon running.
- SAP GUI Scripting allowed in SAP GUI and on the SAP system: [Preparing SAP](https://github.com/kts982/mcp-sap-gui/blob/master/docs/SAP_SETUP.md).
- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/), which runs the server from PyPI.
- An MCP client. To approve saves, one that shows the server's confirmation questions (listed below).

## Quick start

1. Install uv: `winget install --id=astral-sh.uv -e`
2. Add the server to your MCP client:

   ```text
   Command:   uvx
   Arguments: mcp-sap-gui[screenshots]
   Transport: stdio
   ```

   In the Claude Code CLI, for example: `claude mcp add sap-gui --scope user -- uvx "mcp-sap-gui[screenshots]"`. Every client: [Clients](https://github.com/kts982/mcp-sap-gui/blob/master/docs/CLIENTS.md).
3. Log on to SAP in SAP Logon, then ask: *"Connect to my open SAP session and tell me what system I'm on."*

Step by step, including updating to a new release: [Getting started](https://github.com/kts982/mcp-sap-gui/blob/master/docs/GETTING_STARTED.md).

## Safety

- **Saves wait for your yes**, and you can make other changes wait too, for example every field write: [Confirmations](https://github.com/kts982/mcp-sap-gui/blob/master/docs/CONFIRMATIONS.md).
- **A transaction policy** decides which transactions the assistant may start; read-only mode and profiles limit it further.
- **An audit log** records every call, question and answer.
- **Everything runs as the logged-on SAP user**, under that user's authorizations, which remain the real boundary.

## Which clients show the confirmation questions

Tested on 2026-10-28: the **Claude Code CLI**, the **GitHub Copilot CLI**, **VS Code with GitHub Copilot** and the **Codex CLI** show them. The **Claude desktop app** does not (its Code tab declines without showing anything, its Chat and Cowork tabs do not support them), so a save is refused there: use it for reading. The full table: [Clients](https://github.com/kts982/mcp-sap-gui/blob/master/docs/CLIENTS.md#which-clients-show-the-confirmation-questions).

## What's new

**0.6.0** supports MCP 2026-07-28, the newest protocol version, next to the earlier ones, and the confirmation questions work on both. It needs Python 3.11 or later, retires `sap_set_policy_profile`, names the MCP client in the audit log, and comes with reorganised documentation.
