SAP Netweaver Gateway MCP Server by CData

What is SAP Netweaver Gateway MCP Server by CData?

This is a read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows large language models (LLMs) like Claude Desktop to query live data from SAP Netweaver Gateway using natural language. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for SAP Netweaver Gateway, which exposes the data as relational SQL tables, and makes it available through a simple MCP interface — no SQL required.

How to use SAP Netweaver Gateway MCP Server by CData?

Clone the repository, build the JAR with mvn clean install, download and license the CData JDBC Driver for SAP Netweaver Gateway, then create a .prp file with your JDBC connection details. Configure Claude Desktop by adding an entry to claude_desktop_config.json that points to the Java executable, the server JAR, and the .prp file. After restarting Claude, the server’s tools become available.

FAQ from SAP Netweaver Gateway MCP Server by CData

What data can I access with this server?

It provides read-only access to live data in SAP Netweaver Gateway. The server exposes tables and columns from the underlying system, and all queries are SQL SELECT statements.

Do I need to install anything besides the server JAR?

Yes. You must download and install the CData JDBC Driver for SAP Netweaver Gateway and license it (TRIAL or a purchased license key). The JDBC driver JAR path is specified in the .prp file.

How does the server communicate with the AI client?

The server uses the stdio transport, so it must run on the same machine as the MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop). It listens for JSON‑RPC 2.0 requests over standard input and output.

Is this server read-only or can I write data?

This project builds a read‑only MCP server. For full create, read, update, delete, and action capabilities, CData offers a separate beta MCP Server for SAP Netweaver Gateway with a simplified setup.

Where is my connection and license information stored?

Connection details are stored in a .prp file on your local machine. The JDBC driver must be licensed via a separate command-line step; the license is stored in the driver’s local configuration.
