EPIC: MCP Server for OCM (Go Implementation)

[matthiasbruns]

Description

Develop a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in Go that exposes OCM operations as MCP tools, enabling LLMs to execute OCM commands directly on behalf of users.

User Story

As a developer using an LLM with MCP support, I want the LLM to execute OCM operations for me so that I can work with OCM through natural language without manually running CLI commands.

Scope

• MCP server implementation in Go using OCM library
• Tool: create component version
• Tool: add resource to component
• Tool: sign component version
• Tool: verify component signatures
• Tool: transfer component between repositories
• Tool: get component version information
• Tool: list components in repository
• Configuration via environment variables and config file
• Comprehensive error handling with user-friendly messages
• Logging and observability integration
• End user documentation for server setup and usage
• Integration examples for Claude Desktop
• Informed Community via announcement and examples

Out of Scope

• Advanced MCP operations (explain concepts, generate examples)
• Web-based MCP client
• MCP server GUI or management interface
• Multi-user authentication system
• Plugin management through MCP
• Resource and Prompt implementations

Hey @matthiasbruns and @morri-son

Any chance of changing the name ' Model Context Protocol (MCP) ' to something else?

Those of us using OCM on SAP's Managed Control Plane ore going to be continuously confused. Case in point, github emailed me a note about this issue ( 815 ) and I clicked on the link because I wanted to see what you guys were doing wrt to getting the OCM controller running on the Managed Control Plane ( MCP )

SAP's Managed Control Plane is actually called openMCP in the meantime. We have some epics for openMCP open and they will be tackled in Q1/Q2

@frewilhelm
Thanks for that.
At least in my organization I, maybe 50 or so people, I don't thing anyone is referring to the Managed Control Plane. Rather they are just saying 'MCP'
