CAP MCP-First Development
Before writing, modifying, debugging, or fixing CDS entities, service definitions,
or CAP service handlers, you MUST query the CAP MCP server and apply its guidance.
Tools
Use mcp__cap__* tools — primarily mcp__cap__search_docs and mcp__cap__search_model.
Workflow
- Query before coding — call
mcp__cap__search_docs for syntax, patterns, or conventions
- Trust MCP over training knowledge — if guidance conflicts with what you know, follow MCP
- Prefer the simplest pattern when MCP returns multiple valid approaches
Scope
This skill covers:
- CDS entity definitions, types, aspects (
db/schema.cds)
- Service definitions and projections (
srv/*.cds)
- Service handlers, actions, functions, events (
srv/*.js)
- CDS built-in types, key patterns, virtual fields
This skill does not cover CDS annotations (@UI, @Common, @Capabilities) or
Fiori Elements configuration — those belong to the sap-fiori skill.
