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.
