Prerequisites

• Claude Code v1.0.33+ or Claude Desktop with Cowork mode
• An SAP Datasphere tenant with OAuth 2.0 client credentials
• Node.js 18+ (for the MCP server)

Installation

Install from a marketplace or load directly:

claude --plugin-dir ./sap-datasphere-plugin-for-claude-cowork

Configuration

After installation, configure your SAP Datasphere connection by setting the environment variables in .mcp.json:

Variable	Description	Example
DATASPHERE_BASE_URL	Your tenant URL	https://mytenant.eu20.hcs.cloud.sap
DATASPHERE_CLIENT_ID	OAuth client ID	From SAP BTP cockpit
DATASPHERE_CLIENT_SECRET	OAuth client secret	From SAP BTP cockpit
DATASPHERE_TOKEN_URL	OAuth token endpoint	https://mytenant.authentication.eu20.hana.ondemand.com/oauth/token
DATASPHERE_AUTH_URL	OAuth auth endpoint	https://mytenant.authentication.eu20.hana.ondemand.com

Setting up OAuth credentials in SAP BTP

1. Open the SAP BTP Cockpit for your subaccount
2. Navigate to Security > Instances and Subscriptions
3. Create a service instance for SAP Datasphere with the appropriate scopes
4. Create a service key to obtain your client ID and secret

Usage

Once configured, just talk to Claude naturally:

• "What spaces do we have in Datasphere?"
• "Help me design a star schema for customer analytics"
• "Create an analytic model with revenue measures"
• "Import CDS views from our S/4HANA system"
• "Migrate our BW Process Chains to Task Chains"
• "Set up row-level security on the sales data"
• "Bulk-create 50 users via CLI"
• "Activate the Automotive business content package"
• "My replication flow is failing — help me diagnose"
• "Optimize this slow-running view"
• "Set up a transport package for production deployment"
• "Enrich our catalog with business glossary terms"
