How to Connect SAP to ChatGPT

Use ChatGPT to Query Your SAP System

With AnythingMCP, you can connect your SAP system to ChatGPT through the Model Context Protocol. This lets you ask ChatGPT questions about your SAP data — orders, inventory, financials — and get real-time answers.

What You Need

• SAP with OData or REST APIs enabled
• Docker installed
• ChatGPT with MCP support

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Deploy AnythingMCP

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d

Step 2: Create an OData Connector for SAP

In the AnythingMCP dashboard at http://localhost:3000, create a connector of type OData pointing to your SAP Gateway: tick SAP Gateway and enter the SAP client. It reads each service's $metadata directly, and Import Tools → OData $metadata turns entity sets into tools. For S/4HANA on-premise and Private Cloud, install the ready SAP S/4HANA (OData) or SAP S/4HANA (HANA SQL) adapter instead; see OData to MCP and SAP S/4HANA via HANA SQL.

Step 3: Configure Authentication

Set up Basic auth (on-premise) or OAuth 2.0 (cloud) with your SAP technical user. Add the sap-client header and CSRF token handling for write operations.

Step 4: Connect ChatGPT

ChatGPT connects from OpenAI's servers, so your AnythingMCP instance needs a public HTTPS URL; localhost does not work. You can also use cloud.anythingmcp.com.

1. Go to chatgpt.com/plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
2. Enter a name, e.g. Name: AnythingMCP.
3. Under Connection, enter the Server URL https://your-anythingmcp-instance.com/mcp and keep Authentication on OAuth.
4. Select I understand and want to continue, then Create as a plugin. When ChatGPT asks, sign in to AnythingMCP and allow access.
5. Install the new plugin from your personal plugins, then type @ in a chat and pick it.

Step 5: Start Using Natural Language

Ask ChatGPT:

• "What's the stock level for product ABC across all warehouses?"
• "Show me the top 10 customers by revenue this month"
• "List all pending deliveries for this week"
• "What's the status of purchase order 4500012345?"

Security Recommendations

1. Create a dedicated SAP service user with read-only authorizations
2. Test with SAP sandbox APIs before connecting production
3. Enable AnythingMCP audit logs
4. Set rate limits to protect your SAP system
