"At TechEd 2025, SAP announced extensive support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This gives AI agents access to SAP data from all business applications. This applies not only to SAP AI agents, but also to third-party agents. Developers can use their favorite AI tools to work with SAP data and perform actions. This is an essential step in keeping developers connected to SAP, especially in the era of agentic AI."
"With MCP, AI agents can communicate with each other, execute commands, and exchange data. Regardless of the application the user wants to use, an underlying AI agent can communicate with an SAP AI agent via MCP to perform tasks. This could be as simple as submitting a leave request in SuccessFactors, creating a PO in Ariba, or requesting a comprehensive ERP report in SAP S/4HANA."
"At various conferences, we hear the same story over and over again: AI agents are the user interface of the future. Users will log in less and less to the various business applications; they will soon be giving AI agents commands via more central applications. This means these AI agents must be able to communicate with all the different business applications."
At TechEd 2025, SAP announced broad support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI agents to access SAP data from all business applications, including third-party agents. Developers can use external AI tools to interact with SAP data and perform actions across products like SuccessFactors, Ariba, and SAP S/4HANA. MCP allows AI agents to communicate, execute commands, and exchange data, functioning as an agent-to-agent protocol analogous to APIs. SAP introduced an MCP Gateway built on the Integration Suite to convert existing APIs and flows into MCP tools, enabling Joule agents to bridge the IT landscape and interact with connected systems.
