What is mcp-sap-docs AGENTS.md?

A contributor guide for an MCP server that downloads SAP and ABAP documentation, builds searchable local indexes, and provides search and retrieval tools.

Use it when onboarding documentation sources, updating variants, rebuilding search indexes, or maintaining the source and metadata configuration.

It explains that adding a documentation source requires coordinated configuration, indexing, and metadata changes rather than a single edit.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01586	$0.01586
Opus 5.5	$0.00634	$0.00634
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00317	$0.00317

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-sap-docs AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Operational guide for agents and contributors adding or updating documentation sources in this repository.

What This Repository Does

sap-docs-mcp is an MCP server that:

pulls documentation from git submodules under sources/
builds a local search corpus in dist/data/index.json
builds SQLite FTS and embeddings (dist/data/docs.sqlite)
serves search/fetch tools for different variants (sap-docs, abap)

Core build/index flow:

setup.sh initializes/updates submodules (variant-aware)
scripts/build-index.ts scans configured source directories and creates index.json
scripts/build-fts.ts builds BM25 index from index.json
scripts/build-embeddings.ts builds semantic vectors

Source Onboarding Model (Important)

Adding a source is not one change in one file. A source typically needs coordinated updates in multiple places:

.gitmodules (submodule URL/path/branch)
scripts/build-index.ts (SOURCES entry with indexing path + file patterns)
metadata config:
- src/metadata.json for sap-docs profile
- config/variants/abap.metadata.json if needed for abap profile
variant config:
- config/variants/sap-docs.json
- config/variants/abap.json (if source should exist in ABAP variant)
setup.sh sparse checkout mapping in get_sparse_paths() when only subfolders are needed
optional test/docs updates (README, tests, validation docs)

If any of these are missed, the source may clone but never be indexed, or index without usable URL generation, or only work in one variant.

Where Source Configuration Lives

1) Submodule registration

File: .gitmodules
Purpose: declare repository origin and local path under sources/
Pattern:
- path = sources/<source-folder>
- url = https://github.com/<org>/<repo>.git
- branch = main|master|...

2) Indexing input

File: scripts/build-index.ts
Purpose: tells indexer exactly where docs live and which files to scan
Structure: SOURCES: SourceConfig[]
Required fields:
- repoName
- absDir (often join("sources", "<folder>", "docs") or repo root)
- id (library ID used everywhere, e.g. "/wdi5")
- name, description
- filePattern (**/*.md, **/*.mdx, etc.)
- type (markdown, jsdoc, sample)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
