ABAP Development Tools for VS Code and the ABAP MCP Server: Setup and Agentic Workflows

SAP published ABAP Development Tools for VS Code in June 2026, with a built-in ADT MCP server that also ships in ADT for Eclipse. This course sets up both, explains supported releases (7.31 and higher for the MCP server), object-type scope and what changed in versions 1.1 and 1.2, and connects a coding agent to read, change, activate, test and check ABAP through MCP, with access restrictions and guardrails switched on from the start.
