rfc-mcp

MCP server exposing SAP RFC-enabled function modules (BAPIs/RFCs) to AI agents through a discovery-first interface, built on SAP's pyrfc connector — plus automatic ABAP source reading (ADT when reachable, transparent RFC fallback otherwise, see docs/adt_rfc_integration_plan.md).

Setup

See docs/setup.md for the SAP NW RFC SDK + Python 3.11 prerequisites (required before real SAP calls work) and docs/architecture.md for the layer overview, including the read/write policy model, the generic-table-reader guard, and audit logging.

Quick start once prerequisites are installed:

uv sync --extra dev
copy .env.example .env   # fill in connection + policy settings
uv run pytest             # unit tests, fake pyrfc, no SAP needed
uv run mcp dev src/rfc_mcp/mcp/server.py

Real SAP connectivity additionally requires the proprietary SAP NW RFC SDK and the archived/yanked pyrfc==3.3.1 connector. Read the support warning and installation steps in docs/setup.md before running uv sync --extra sap or the smoke test.

Tools

• search_rfc_functions(pattern, group=None, limit=50)

• get_rfc_function_interface(function_name)

• call_rfc_function(function_name, parameters, mode="read"|"write", transaction_id=None)

• commit_rfc_transaction(transaction_id, wait=False)

• rollback_rfc_transaction(transaction_id)

• read_abap_source(object_type, object_name, function_group=None) — one tool, no transport choice exposed to the caller; see docs/architecture.md.

ABAP knowledge skill

.claude/skills/sap-abap/ vendors the third-party sap-abap Claude Skill so an agent using this server also has accurate ABAP language knowledge on hand. It's licensed separately (GPL-3.0, its own LICENSE/NOTICE.md) from the rest of this project — see below.

Scope

Foundation, connection layer, discovery, execution, and MCP integration are built and tested, including a deny-by-default read/write policy, a table-level guard against the generic-table-reader injection surface (RFC_READ_TABLE et al.), and audit logging of every policy decision and call outcome. Not built: multi-tenant auth/RBAC beyond the single server-wide policy, rate limiting, metrics/tracing, and deployment packaging — see docs/architecture.md's "Out of scope" section for what's deliberately deferred and why.

Write calls return an opaque transaction_id. Reuse it for related writes, then pass it to commit or rollback. This pins the entire SAP LUW to one RFC connection; abandoned transactions expire and roll back automatically.

Security posture

• Reads and writes are denied unless their function names match explicit allowlists. The example configuration only permits discovery, source reading, and the harmless STFC_CONNECTION smoke test.

• MCP tool annotations describe read/write risk for capable clients, but are advisory metadata—not an authorization boundary. Server policy and the SAP service account's S_RFC/table authorizations remain mandatory.

• Stdio credentials come from the environment and are never placed in MCP tool arguments. Do not expose the server over HTTP without implementing the MCP authorization specification and deployment-level rate limiting.

• See SECURITY.md for reporting and deployment guidance.
