Overview
MCP server and client mechanisms function as microservices that integrate seamlessly with SAP applications on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). By hosting MCP servers and clients on SAP BTP Cloud Foundry, organizations can make existing SAP applications truly agentic—systems that don't just respond to requests but can plan, decide, and act in pursuit of business goals.
