SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Capire provides automated, semantic access to a CAP project's compiled model and official CAP documentation, removing guesswork during development and integration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Semantic model discovery: locate entities, services, and associations using the local MCP server's search_model.
  • Documentation lookup: retrieve CAP syntax and patterns via search_docs for quicker implementation.
  • Offline, zero-network workflow: all lookups happen locally with cached embeddings and CSN data.
  • Real-world use cases: quickly verify service endpoints, explore CDS definitions before coding, and accelerate onboarding of new CAP developers.

Quick Start

Install and run the MCP server locally, enable Capire integration in your tooling, and begin performing search_model and search_docs queries against your CAP project. For example, search "Books" for entity discovery or "before create handler" for pattern lookup.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search CDS models and entities in a local CAP project?

You can search CDS models and entities in a local CAP project by running the Capire MCP server locally to perform semantic model discovery across services, entities, and deployment patterns without external network calls.

Can I look up CAP documentation offline?

Yes, you can look up CAP documentation offline. The Capire MCP server uses search_docs on a local cache of embedded documentation and CSN data, requiring zero network connectivity to retrieve syntax and implementation patterns.

What is the best way to discover service endpoints in a CAP project?

The best way to discover service endpoints in a CAP project is using the Capire MCP server's search_model function. It enables semantic model discovery across compiled CDS definitions to quickly verify endpoints before coding.

Does Capire work without an internet connection for CAP development?

Yes, Capire works without an internet connection for CAP development. All model discovery and documentation lookups operate entirely on a local MCP server cache with no external network calls.

How do I find CDS syntax patterns for before create handlers?

To find CDS syntax patterns for before create handlers, use the Capire MCP server's search_docs function. It retrieves official CAP documentation and implementation patterns from the local cached embeddings.

Do I need a running MCP server to discover CAP models and documentation?

Yes, you need a running local MCP server to discover CAP models and documentation. Capire operates on a local MCP server cache to execute search_model and search_docs queries against your CAP project's compiled CSN data.
