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

1. Query before coding — call mcp__cap__search_docs for syntax, patterns, or conventions
2. Trust MCP over training knowledge — if guidance conflicts with what you know, follow MCP
3. Prefer the simplest pattern when MCP returns multiple valid approaches
