Broad access
Why this level
- The agent creates and changes project files, including manifest.json and app pages
- Through saved connections the server exports metadata from SAP systems; disabling TLS verification is dangerous
Install
- Works in
Manual install
claude mcp add fiori-mcp -- npx --yes @sap-ux/fiori-mcp-server@<version> fiori-mcpSubstitute the version from npm; the vendor advises pinning it.

What it does
The @sap-ux/fiori-mcp-server package is part of the open Open UX Tools monorepo maintained by the SAP Fiori tools team. It helps a model create and change SAP Fiori apps from requests like "add a list report app to my CAP project", "create an app for the OData service at this address", "add FCL" or "enable initial load". There are nine tools. search_docs searches the Fiori elements, annotations, UI5, OPA5 and Fiori tools documentation. list_fiori_apps finds existing apps in a folder, list_sap_systems shows saved SAP system connections, and download_odata_service_metadata exports a service's EDMX metadata to metadata.xml. generate_fiori_app_odata creates an app for OData projects such as ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model ones, and generate_fiori_app_cap creates it inside an SAP CAP project. Editing an existing app takes three steps: list_functionality, get_functionality_details, execute_functionality (pages, controller extensions, manifest.json properties). The vendor recommends running the server alongside @cap-js/mcp-server and @ui5/mcp-server. Transport is stdio, launched through npx with no global install.
Who it is for. SAP developers building Fiori elements apps on top of CAP or ABAP RAP who want to hand routine generation and configuration to an agent.
Good fit when
- A CAP project needs a List Report app with a table for the main entity
- You have an OData service URL and need to generate an app from it and pull the metadata
- An existing Fiori app needs Flexible Column Layout or initial load enabled
- You are looking for an answer in the Fiori elements and UI5 docs and want it in chat
Not a fit when
- You work outside Fiori elements: the server is built for Fiori elements and CAP apps
- There is no saved connection to the SAP system: you will have to export metadata yourself
- You want to customize through the UI personalization screen: the server rules require changing project code
Example request
Add a SAP Fiori elements app with an order list and an object page to my CAP project, then enable initial load.MCP

Environment variables
LOG_LEVEL- Log level: off, error, warn, info, debug or verbose.
Limitations
The server is built for Fiori elements apps, CAP projects and OData and is not intended for other SAP scenarios. Generating from a system URL needs a saved connection, which the Connection Manager for SAP Systems extension creates. On first use search_docs downloads a local embedding model of about 86 MB from HuggingFace Hub.
The vendor recommends pinning the package version instead of taking latest. Disabling TLS checks with `NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0` is acceptable only outside production, and the README warns about the security threat. The log goes to ~/.fioritools/fiori-mcp-server.log at the error level by default.
How to disable. Remove the fiori-mcp entry from the client config (`claude mcp remove fiori-mcp`). The embedding model stays in the HuggingFace cache and can be deleted by hand.
FAQ
How do I connect SAP Fiori MCP Server to Claude Code?
Run `claude mcp add fiori-mcp -- npx --yes @sap-ux/fiori-mcp-server@<version> fiori-mcp`, substituting the version from npm. Alternatively, put a `.mcp.json` in the project root with the same command and `"timeout": 600`.
Which clients does the server work with?
The README gives settings for Claude Code, Cline, Cursor and Windsurf, plus a generic option for other clients. Global install with `npm install -g @sap-ux/fiori-mcp-server` is supported too.
Do I need additional servers?
They are optional, but the vendor recommends running `@cap-js/mcp-server` and `@ui5/mcp-server` alongside for the best result. The rules to add to AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md are in the Rules section of the README.
Which tools does the server have?
Nine: `search_docs`, `list_fiori_apps`, `list_sap_systems`, `download_odata_service_metadata`, `generate_fiori_app_odata`, `generate_fiori_app_cap`, plus the three-step chain `list_functionality`, `get_functionality_details` and `execute_functionality` for editing an existing app.
What does search_docs download on first use?
A local embedding model, `all-MiniLM-L6-v2`, about 86 MB from HuggingFace Hub. It is cached (the path follows `HF_HOME` or `TRANSFORMERS_CACHE`), and afterwards no network is needed to start.

README in short
The Open UX Tools repository describes the project goals and modules under the @sap-ux scope on npm. The server lives in packages/fiori-mcp-server, whose README lists example prompts, settings for four clients, rules for an agent, nine tools and log configuration.
