【MCP Server】SAP Netweaver Gateway × Claude Desktop 連携ガイド | AI でデータを徹底活用

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an emerging, open-source standard for connecting LLMs with external services and data sources. Through MCP Servers, AI clients can perform actions like opening Jira tickets, posting Slack messages, committing GitHub branches and more. With CData MCP Servers, these capabilities expand exponentially.

In this article, we guide the reader through installing the CData MCP Server for SAP Netweaver Gateway, configuring the connection to SAP Netweaver Gateway, and asking questions of the data in Claude Desktop.

Prerequisites

You need to download Claude Desktop (download) and create an account before continuing.

Overview

Here's a quick overview of the steps:

1. Download and install the CData MCP Server for SAP Netweaver Gateway
2. Configure the connection to SAP Netweaver Gateway
3. Ask questions about the data in Claude Desktop

Step 1: Download and install the CData MCP Server

2. Find and double-click the installer to begin the installation.
3. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

When the installation is complete, you are ready to configure your MCP Server by connecting to SAP Netweaver Gateway.

Step 2: Configure the connection to SAP Netweaver Gateway

4. Connecting to SAP Netweaver Gateway

   SAP Gateway 接続プロパティの取得・設定方法

   SAP Gateway のテーブルにアクセスするには、次の接続プロパティを設定します。

   • URL = お使いの環境のURL、またはサービスの完全URL。例えば、完全URL は次のようになります：https://sapes5.sapdevcenter.com/sap/opu/odata/IWBEP/GWSAMPLE_BASIC/。この例では、環境URL は次のようになります：https://sapes5.sapdevcenter.com。CustomUrlParams プロパティを使用して、追加プロパティを追加します。
   • Namespace = 適切なService Namespace。先ほどの例では、IWBEP が名前空間です。サービスへの完全URL が指定されている場合は任意です。
   • Service = データを取得するサービス。先ほどの例では、サービスはGWSAMPLE_BASIC です。完全URL が指定されている場合は必須ではありません。
   • CustomUrlParams = HTTP リクエストに含まれる必要のある追加プロパティ；例えばsap-client=001&sap-language=EN。

   SAP Gateway への認証

   SAP Gateway はBasic 認証、OAuth 2.0 認証、SAP BTP Destination 認証を許可します。

   Basic 認証

   Basic 認証を有効にするには、以下のプロパティを設定します。

   • AuthScheme = Basic。
   • User = SAP Gateway へのログインに使用するユーザー名。
   • Password = SAP Gateway へのログインに使用するパスワード。

   上記のプロパティを設定したら、接続の準備は完了です。ローカルデータにアクセスするには、個人の認証情報を使用します。

   他の認証方法については、ヘルプドキュメントの「接続の確立」セクションを参照してください。

   Enter the appropriate connection properties in the configuration wizard.

   
5. Click "Connect" to authenticate with SAP Netweaver Gateway through OAuth.

   NOTE: The configuration wizard should open your browser and ask you to sign into SAP Netweaver Gateway. If your browser does not open, close the configuration wizard and re-open the application using "Run as Administrator" (see below).

   
6. Finally, click "Save Configuration" to save the MCP server.

   NOTE: This saves the configuration details to a separate file and updates the Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json) to start the CData MCP Server when the Claude Desktop client starts.

With the CData MCP Server configured, you are ready to start asking questions of your live data from Claude.

Step 3: Ask AI for answers from live SAP Netweaver Gateway のデータ

Now that we have installed the CData MCP Server and configured a connection, we are ready to start with SAP Netweaver Gateway のデータ in Claude Desktop.

1. Open Claude Desktop. It may take a moment for the MCP Servers to start, but you will see the list of servers and tools available in the Claude interface (look for the settings icon below the prompt bar).

   You can individually enable and disable specific tools by clicking on the server name.

2. Now that you have connected, you can ask Claude questions about the SAP Netweaver Gateway のデータ. For example: "Can you give me a quantitative analysis about my closed-won opportunities by industry?"

   NOTE: Claude may need to explore the SAP Netweaver Gateway のデータ to make sense of it before it can begin answering questions of the data. The tabular model presented by CData alongside the database tools available simplify the data exploration and analysis for an LLM.
