SAP HANA MCP Server
SAP HANA MCP server enabling AI agents to interact with SAP HANA in-memory database — executing SQL queries with HANA-specific functions, accessing column store analytics, querying HANA system views and metadata, and integrating SAP's enterprise in-memory analytics platform into agent-driven business intelligence and ERP data analysis workflows.

🔒 Security
Enterprise credentials. TLS. SOC2/GDPR/HIPAA. Official SAP MCP. Read-only user recommended. Env var for creds.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
An enterprise team in an SAP environment needs AI-assisted analytics on HANA data — particularly for organizations running SAP S/4HANA, SAP BW/4HANA, or SAP Analytics Cloud.
Avoid When
You're not in an SAP ecosystem or don't have HANA infrastructure.
Use Cases
- • Executing analytical SQL against SAP HANA from BI and reporting agents
- • Querying SAP ERP data via HANA from enterprise analytics agents
- • Accessing HANA-specific calculation views from finance analytics agents
- • Exploring HANA schemas and system views from DBA assistant agents
- • Integrating HANA data into LLM-powered business reporting workflows
- • Analyzing real-time operational data from SAP applications via HANA
Not For
- • Teams without SAP HANA license (enterprise product with significant costs)
- • Non-SAP environments (HANA is tightly integrated with SAP ecosystem)
- • Teams using other analytics databases (Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery)
Interface
Authentication
SAP HANA connection credentials (host, port, user, password). hdbcli Python driver required. HANA Cloud supports SAML/SSO. Store credentials in environment variables.
Pricing
SAP HANA Cloud trial available free. Enterprise licensing is substantial. SAP-samples MCP from official SAP repository — higher quality baseline.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ hdbcli Python driver must be installed — separate SAP pip package, not on PyPI
- ⚠ HANA SQL has unique features (calculation views, series data) — agents need HANA-specific prompting
- ⚠ Column store analytics queries differ from row store — understand HANA data model
- ⚠ HANA system views (_SYS_*) give powerful metadata access — useful for schema exploration
- ⚠ Official SAP-samples MCP — reflects SAP investment in AI integration
- ⚠ HANA Cloud vs on-premise versions have capability differences
