Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI-assisted development of CAP applications.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cap-js": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@cap-js/mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add cap-js -- npx -y @cap-js/mcp-server

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cap-js": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@cap-js/mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "cap-js": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@cap-js/mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Cap Js MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 11 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Welcome to @cap-js/mcp-server

About This Project

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP). Use it for AI-assisted development of CAP applications (_agentic coding_).

The server helps AI models answer questions such as:

  • _Which CDS services are in this project, and where are they served?_
  • _What are the entities about and how do they relate?_
  • _How do I add columns to a select statement in CAP Node.js?_

Requirements

See Getting Started on how to jumpstart your development and grow as you go with SAP Cloud Application Programming Model.

Setup

Configure your MCP client (Cline, opencode, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.) to start the server using the command npx -y @cap-js/mcp-server as in the following examples.

Usage in Claude Code

Register the server with Claude Code.

For all projects (user scope):

claude mcp add --scope user cds-mcp -- npx -y @cap-js/mcp-server

For the current project only (local scope, not committed):

claude mcp add cds-mcp -- npx -y @cap-js/mcp-server

For the current project only (committed to the repository):

claude mcp add --scope project cds-mcp -- npx -y @cap-js/mcp-server

To set an environment variable, add --env before the server name:

claude mcp add --scope user --env CDS_MCP_MODEL=nomic-ai/nomic-embed-text-v1.5 cds-mcp -- npx -y @cap-js/mcp-server
Usage in VS Code

Example for VS Code extension Cline:

{

"mcpServers": { "cds-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@cap-js/mcp-server"], "env": {} } } }

Example for VS Code global mcp.json:

Note: GitHub Copilot uses the mcp.json file as source for it's Agent mode.

{

"servers": { "cds-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@cap-js/mcp-server"], "env": {}, "type": "stdio" }, "inputs": [] } }

To set an environment variable, replace the server's empty env object with:

"env": {

"CDS_MCP_MODEL": "nomic-ai/nomic-embed-text-v1.5" }

See VS Code Marketplace for more agent extensions.

Usage in OpenAI Codex

Register the server with OpenAI Codex:

codex mcp add cds-mcp -- npx -y @cap-js/mcp-server

To set an environment variable, add --env before the command:

codex mcp add cds-mcp --env CDS_MCP_MODEL=nomic-ai/nomic-embed-text-v1.5 -- npx -y @cap-js/mcp-server
Usage in opencode

Add to opencode.jsonc in your project, or to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc for global use:

{

"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json", "mcp": { "cds-mcp": { "type": "local", "command": ["npx", "-y", "@cap-js/mcp-server"], "environment": { "CDS_MCP_MODEL": "nomic-ai/nomic-embed-text-v1.5" }, "enabled": true } } }

This is the opencode v1 format. In opencode v2, use the same config but nest the server under "servers" — "mcp": { "servers": { "cds-mcp": { ... } } } — or use the CLI instead:

opencode mcp add --global cds-mcp -- npx -y @cap-js/mcp-server

To set an environment variable:

opencode mcp add --global cds-mcp \

--env CDS_MCP_MODEL=nomic-ai/nomic-embed-text-v1.5 \ -- npx -y @cap-js/mcp-server

Environment Variables

[!WARNING]

The following environment variables are still experimental.

VariableDescription
CDS_MCP_OFFLINESet to true to use locally cached embeddings without checking for updates. Accepts true or false.
CDS_MCP_MODELNon-empty embedding model name.
CDS_MCP_MANIFEST_TIMEOUTManifest request timeout in positive integer milliseconds. Defaults to 15000.
CDS_MCP_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUTBundle response-header timeout in positive integer milliseconds. Defaults to 30000.
CDS_MCP_GENERIC_EMBEDDINGSSet to true to skip the runtime filter and search all runtimes. By default search_docs keeps only the chunks of the detected project runtime (Node.js or Java) plus the runtime-agnostic chunks.
CDS_MCP_MAX_RESULTSUpper limit on the number of search_docs results, as a positive integer. Caps the per-call maxResults.
CDS_MCP_RERANK_ENABLEDSet to true to rerank search_docs results with a local cross-encoder model. Accepts true or false; disabled by default.
CDS_MCP_RERANK_MODELNon-empty cross-encoder model name used when reranking. Defaults to Xenova/ms-marco-MiniLM-L-6-v2.
CDS_MCP_RERANK_DTYPENon-empty data type used to load the reranking model. Defaults to q8; set to fp32 for models without model_quantized.onnx.
CDS_MCP_RERANK_EXTERNAL_DATASet to true for reranking models whose ONNX weights are stored in external .onnx_data files. Accepts true or false.
CDS_MCP_RERANK_BATCH_SIZEPositive integer number of results to process in each reranking batch. Defaults to 1.
Rules

The following rules help the LLM use the server correctly:

- You MUST search for CDS definitions, like entities, fields and services (which include HTTP endpoints) with cds-mcp, only if it fails you MAY read \*.cds files in the project.
  • You MUST search for CAP docs with cds-mcp EVERY TIME you create, modify CDS models or when using APIs or the cds CLI from CAP. Do NOT propose, suggest or make any changes without first checking it.

Add these rules to your existing global or project-specific AGENTS.md (specifics may vary based on respective MCP client).

CLI Usage

You can also use the tools directly from the command line.

npm i -g @cap-js/mcp-server

[!WARNING]

When the package is installed globally, npx uses the installed version instead of downloading the latest from npm. You must update the package manually:

`sh

npm update -g @cap-js/mcp-server

`

This will provide the command cds-mcp, with which you can invoke the tools directly as follows.

# Search CAP documentation

cds-mcp search_docs "how to add columns to a select statement in CAP Node.js" 1

Search for CDS model definitions

cds-mcp search_model . Books entity

Available Tools

[!NOTE]

Tools are meant to be used by AI models and do not constitute a stable API.

The server provides these tools for CAP development:

search_docs

This tool uses vector embeddings to locally search through preprocessed CAP documentation, stored as embeddings. The process works as follows:

  1. Query processing: Your search query is converted to an embedding vector.
  2. Similarity search: The system finds documentation chunks with the highest semantic similarity to your query.

This semantic search approach enables you to find relevant documentation even when your query does not use the exact keywords found in the docs, all locally on your machine.

search_model

This tool performs fuzzy searches against names of definitions from the compiled CDS model (Core Schema Notation). CDS compiles all your .cds files into a unified model representation that includes:

  • All definitions and their relationships
  • Annotations
  • HTTP endpoints

The fuzzy search algorithm matches definition names and allows for partial matches, making it easy to find entities like "Books" even when searching for "book".
