sap-cds-mcp (@cap-js/mcp-server) is a Model Context Protocol server that gives AI coding tools the ability to search compiled CDS models and CAP documentation for SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP) projects, according to the GitHub README. It exposes two tools, search_model and search_docs, to support AI-assisted 'agentic coding' of CAP applications. It can be started with npx and configured in MCP clients such as Cline, VS Code (via mcp.json/GitHub Copilot), and opencode, or installed globally for direct CLI use as cds-mcp. The project's homepage describes CAP itself as a framework for building enterprise-grade cloud applications with features like rapid development, domain-focused modeling, and cloud-native qualities such as multitenancy and extensibility.
Overview
According to its homepage, SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP) is a framework to 'build enterprise-grade cloud applications with maximized productivity, fueled by proven best practices, served out of the box,' emphasizing rapid development, domain modeling, proven best practices, and cloud-native design (multitenancy, scalability, extensibility). Per the README, @cap-js/mcp-server is an MCP server built specifically to assist AI-driven development of CAP applications.
What you can do with sap-cds-mcp
- Fuzzy-search compiled CDS model definitions (entities, fields, services, HTTP endpoints) with the search_model tool (README)
- Semantically search local CAP documentation using vector embeddings with the search_docs tool (README)
- Start the server via npx -y @cap-js/mcp-server and configure it in MCP clients such as Cline, VS Code/GitHub Copilot, or opencode (README)
- Install globally with npm i -g @cap-js/mcp-server and run the cds-mcp command directly from the CLI (README)
- Add recommended rules to AGENTS.md so AI models search CDS definitions and CAP docs before proposing changes (README)
