mcp-abap-adt: Your Gateway to ABAP Development Tools (ADT)

Acknowledgment: This project was originally inspired by mario-andreschak/mcp-abap-adt. We started with the core concept and then evolved it into an independent project with our own architecture and features.

This project provides a server that allows you to interact with SAP ABAP systems using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Think of it as a bridge that lets tools like Cline (a VS Code extension) talk to your ABAP system and retrieve information like source code, table structures, and more.
