MCP Gateway in SAP Integration Suite: Exposing APIs and Integration Flows as Governed Tools for AI Agents

Integration teams now own how AI agents reach SAP. This course explains the MCP Gateway in SAP Integration Suite, generally available since July 2026 on the Integration Cell runtime and presented by SAP as the endorsed pathway for agents under its API Policy. Learners turn API artifacts, HTTP endpoints and RFC backends into curated MCP tools, secure them with OAuth, quotas and principal propagation, monitor and audit agent calls, test tools with a real MCP client, and keep roadmap features apart from what ships today.
