ServiceNow MCP Server (NowAIKit)

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Copilot, or any AI, to ServiceNow.

500+ tools across ITSM, ITOM, CMDB, HRSD, CSM, Flow Designer, scripting & portal. Read, build, query and automate any instance in plain English.

New in 4.4 to 4.7: impact analysis (list_table_config / find_field_references / find_script_references) to see what depends on a table, field or script before you change it, Local Sync to pull artifacts to local files, and aggregate_report for server-side reports (count plus averages, no truncation).

🚀 Install (2 minutes)

Requires Node.js 20+.

# 1 — install
npm install -g nowaikit

# 2 — run the wizard: it detects your AI clients and writes their config for you
npx nowaikit setup

Restart your AI client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, …) and start asking. Done.

Prefer a UI? npx nowaikit web for a local dashboard — or use NowAIKit Cloud (nothing to install).

🔌 Manual setup (skip the wizard)

Add this to your client's MCP config (Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json, Cursor ~/.cursor/mcp.json, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nowaikit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "nowaikit"],
      "env": {
        "SERVICENOW_INSTANCE_URL": "https://yourcompany.service-now.com",
        "SERVICENOW_BASIC_USERNAME": "your_username",
        "SERVICENOW_BASIC_PASSWORD": "your_password"
      }
    }
  }
}

💬 Use it — just ask

"How many active P1 incidents are open right now?"
"Show me the 5 most recent changes and their risk."
"Create a business rule on the incident table that…"
"Run the ATF suite for the HR onboarding flow."
"What's the CMDB health for our prod CIs?"
"Look up GlideRecord.addEncodedQuery in the ServiceNow docs and show the syntax."

Read-only by default. Write, scripting and CMDB changes are opt-in flags — prod can't be modified by accident.
