SAPF CLI

Direct RFC access to any SAP system from your terminal. Query tables, manage users, build SAP integrations — faster than MCP, scriptable, and usable from Claude Code, Gemini, or any terminal AI tool.

Free Tier Available Faster than MCP All Platforms

CLI vs MCP — when to use which

Use sapf-cli when…

✓ You need maximum speed — direct RFC, no protocol overhead
✓ You're scripting, automating, or running batch operations
✓ You're building a custom SAP integration or app
✓ You're using Claude Code, Gemini, or an AI terminal tool
✓ You need CI/CD pipeline integration

Use SAPF MCP when…

✓ You want Claude.ai, ChatGPT, or Copilot Studio to access SAP
✓ You need a web dashboard (SAPF Dashboard uses MCP internally)
✓ You want persistent tool permissions and audit logs for a team
✓ You're connecting business users — not developers

Both use the same ZBAPI transport installed in your SAP system.

What you can build

sapf-cli is a foundation layer. Use it directly, wire it into scripts, or build full SAP integrations on top of it.

SAP data pipelines

Query any SAP table with JOINs, filters, and aggregations. Pipe results into downstream systems, data warehouses, or reporting tools. query_tables is available on all tiers.

User & access automation

Automate SAP user provisioning, validity extensions, and access reviews. Script onboarding flows and expiry checks across multiple systems.

Custom SAP integrations

Build your own applications that talk to SAP. Use sapf-cli as the RFC layer inside Node.js scripts, Python apps, CI/CD pipelines, or any shell-driven workflow.

AI coding assistants

Add sapf-cli to Claude Code, Gemini, or any AI terminal tool. The AI calls tool execute directly — inspect objects, query tables, manage users — all from an AI coding session.
