cds-mcp (published as @cap-js/mcp-server) is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that supports AI-assisted development of SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP) projects, according to its GitHub README. It provides two tools: search_model, which performs fuzzy searches over the compiled CDS model (entities, fields, services, HTTP endpoints), and search_docs, which semantically searches preprocessed CAP documentation using local vector embeddings. The README shows configuration examples for MCP clients such as Cline (VS Code), GitHub Copilot, and opencode, as well as direct CLI usage after global installation. The README also suggests adding rules to a project's AGENTS.md so that an LLM consistently uses cds-mcp to search CDS definitions and CAP docs before making changes. Licensing is attributed to SAP SE in the README; pricing is not mentioned in the sources.

Overview

According to the README, this is not a hosted SaaS but an open-source npm package (@cap-js/mcp-server) that runs locally as an MCP server, either started via npx -y @cap-js/mcp-server or installed globally to expose a cds-mcp CLI command.

What you can do with cds-mcp

  • Fuzzy-search CDS model definitions (entities, fields, services, HTTP endpoints) via the search_model tool, per the README
  • Semantically search CAP documentation using local vector embeddings via the search_docs tool, per the README
  • Configure cds-mcp as an MCP server in clients such as Cline, opencode, and GitHub Copilot, using the JSON examples in the README
  • Invoke search_model and search_docs directly from the command line after installing the package globally, per the README
  • Add rules to an AGENTS.md file so an LLM is instructed to search with cds-mcp before creating or modifying CDS models or using CAP APIs, per the README
