@ui5/mcp-server

What it does

The UI5 MCP server integrates SAP's SAPUI5/OpenUI5 framework tooling into agentic AI environments. It exposes tools for scaffolding UI5 applications and Integration Cards, validating manifest files against the UI5 schema, linting code via the @ui5/linter integration, and fetching framework documentation (API reference, guidelines, and best-practice recommendations). The server reads the local project structure to extract configuration metadata and detects framework-specific errors, enabling AI-assisted development workflows within VS Code, Cline, Claude Code, and other MCP clients.

Who it's for

UI5 developers integrating with AI coding assistants (Copilot, Claude, Cline), and teams building SAPUI5 or OpenUI5 applications who want to accelerate scaffolding and quality checks. Developers converting legacy UI5 code to TypeScript or those building UI Integration Cards benefit from context-aware AI suggestions powered by validated framework guidelines and linting feedback.

Common use cases

• Scaffold new UI5 applications from AI-suggested templates
• Validate UI5 manifest files and catch framework-specific linting errors
• Generate UI Integration Cards with AI assistance
• Convert existing UI5 applications from JavaScript to TypeScript using AI
• Fetch UI5 API documentation and development guidelines in-context during code generation

Setup pitfalls

• Node.js v20.17.0, v22.9.0 or higher required; earlier versions fail silently
• Native Windows (non-WSL) requires prefixing npx with cmd /c in the MCP configuration
• Reads local filesystem to inspect project structure—ensure appropriate sandbox and filesystem permissions in your MCP client
• Makes outbound network calls to fetch UI5 documentation; firewall or proxy rules may block these requests
