Joule is real — for the SAP stack it was built for. If you run ECC or on-premise S/4HANA, or your company standardised on Claude or ChatGPT, here is where the gap is and what your options are.
'No code' usually sells toy automation. For SAP, it has to mean something more specific: no ABAP changes, no middleware to host, no MCP server to write — and governance that survives an audit.
The server is the cheap part. The real cost of building your own MCP integration is everything that keeps it alive — hosting, pipelines, testing, and a specialist hire.
