The MCP server for SAP LeanIX solutions is now available to all customers, making it easier than ever for enterprise architects to connect their AI agents to EA data. This new gateway removes the need to build custom connectors and helps you to reliably and securely implement agentic AI.
Agentic AI is rapidly reshaping enterprise architecture. While some reports cite failure rates as high as 95%, others highlight transformative wins — boosting productivity, decision-making, and innovation. Yet, what separates success from setbacks?
While off-the-shelf large language models (LLMs) offer limited customization potential, organizations building custom AI agents or customizing LLMs can directly influence outcomes. Successful implementations hinge on two critical factors:
- A reliable connector between AI agents and business systems.
- A clear business case that defines the AI agent’s reasoning boundaries.
The MCP server for SAP LeanIX solutions: General availability
Today, we’re excited to announce the general availability of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for SAP LeanIX solutions. The MCP server is available to all SAP LeanIX customers. It is a secure, standardized gateway that helps enterprise architects connect AI agents to SAP LeanIX more quickly, clearly, and reliably.
What is the MCP server?
The bridge between your AI agents and EA data
The MCP server is a new API category explicitly designed for AI agents and LLMs. Think of it as the bridge between your AI agents and your enterprise architecture data.
Connecting AI agents to enterprise systems has meant organizations need to build their own connectors, which can sometimes be an expensive and experimental process. The MCP server for SAP LeanIX solutions helps eliminate that need, offering:
- Secure integration with SAP LeanIX.
- Managing permissions in your workspace.
- Context-rich data access for better reasoning and recommendations.
With the launch of the MCP server, architects can now connect their AI agents to SAP LeanIX more efficiently and receive more reliable answers to their questions. For example, by plugging in AI agents or custom LLMs through the MCP server, users gain access to contextually rich data that enhances the performance of AI models interfacing with SAP LeanIX.
This connector transforms the concept of architecting alongside AI agents from a theoretical idea into a practical, business use case, and everyday experience. In fact, the MCP server currently supports most off-the-shelf AI agents, including those powered by Microsoft Copilot Studio, Cline, Claude Desktop, as well as custom LLMs.
Standardization can help reduce implementation complexity
Yet, as agentic AI adoption accelerates, so can the complexity of integration. And that’s where the MCP server comes in, too.
The MCP server provides a secure, standardized gateway for connecting AI agents to SAP LeanIX, eliminating the need for bespoke connectors and reducing technical overhead. It helps you:
- Accelerate implementation by offering compatibility with leading AI platforms and custom LLMs.
- Improve result quality through access to context-rich, structured data that enhances AI decision-making.
- Ensure long-term scalability by establishing a future-proof foundation for AI integration across your enterprise architecture landscape.
With the MCP server for SAP LeanIX solutions, you’re not just keeping up with AI innovation—you’re building a resilient, scalable ecosystem that grows with it.
Now, it can go beyond simple Q&A ...
Imagine asking your AI agent:
"List applications with low data quality."
You’ll get an answer. But now ask:
"Help me improve the data quality of our inventory."
Without context—like how top architects approach data quality—your AI agent may struggle. The MCP server solves this by giving your LLM access to a framework for understanding inventory data. Plus:
- Fact sheets, quality seals, and indicators
- Definitions via labels, tags, and metadata
- Patterns from successful architecture practices
This context transforms your AI agent from a passive responder into a proactive partner. This way, the MCP server helps you tick off the three fundamentals of AI implementation: reliability, security, and data standardization.
Real-world EA scenarios
The first organizations to try the MCP server for SAP LeanIX solutions are already seeing tangible benefits. From secure AI integration with SAP LeanIX to improved data quality monitoring and faster, more accurate portfolio assessments, the MCP server is transforming how enterprise architecture teams work.
Picture this: You're traveling, low on battery, and leadership sends urgent asks. You open your AI agent on your phone and say:
“List applications we need to replace by 2028 and suggest alternatives.”
“Create a GDPR survey and send it to all application owners in Germany.”
“Compare IT components against Confluence compliance standards.”
Now you’re not just informed. You’re ready for your next governance meeting!
MCP server for SAP LeanIX solutions... available now
With the MCP server for SAP LeanIX solutions, your AI agents don’t just observe your IT landscape—they understand it, act on it, and evolve with it. So, the next time your AI agent answers a complex governance question in seconds, remember: it’s not luck. It’s enterprise architecture, accelerated by agentic AI.
