- 01Creating incidents from AI workflows
- 02Drafting and publishing knowledge articles
- 03Setting up ServiceNow scripts, rules, and SLAs
- 04Building catalog forms with reusable variable sets
MCP support
The MCP server exposes tools for creating ServiceNow incidents, knowledge articles, client scripts, business rules, SLA definitions, record producers, and variable sets.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your clientβs MCP config file.
We havenβt collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

ServiceNow Integration for Model Context Protocol
π Overview
This repository contains a ServiceNow integration server for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It enables seamless interaction between ServiceNow instances and AI models through a standardized protocol, allowing for automated incident management, knowledge base article creation, and other ServiceNow operations.
β¨ Features
- π ServiceNow Integration: Direct integration with ServiceNow instances
- π οΈ Multiple Operations Support:
- Create and manage incidents
- Create knowledge base articles
- Create client scripts
- Create business rules
- Create SLA definitions
- Create record producers
- π Secure Authentication: Environment-based credentials management
- π FastAPI-based Server: High-performance async operations
π οΈ Prerequisites
- Python 3.12 or higher
- ServiceNow instance with appropriate API access
- Valid ServiceNow credentials
- Optional: Gemini API key for AI capabilities
- UV icorn for running the server
- FastAPI for building the server
βοΈ Configuration
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-org/mcp-server-now.git cd mcp-server-now -
Create a
.envfile with your credentials:SERVICENOW_INSTANCE=https://your-instance.service-now.com SERVICENOW_USERNAME=your_username SERVICENOW_PASSWORD=your_password GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key # Optional -
Install dependencies:
pip install -e .
π Getting Started
Running the Server
mcp install <file_name>.py
Example Usage
The server provides several tools for ServiceNow operations. Here are some examples:
-
Create an Incident:
create_incident( short_description="Network outage in building B", description="Users reporting connectivity issues", urgency="2", impact="2" ) -
Create a Knowledge Base Article:
create_kb_article( short_description="How to Reset Your Password", article_body="<h1>Password Reset Instructions</h1><p>1. Navigate to the login page</p>", workflow_state="published" )
For more examples, see servicenow-test-examples.md.
π§© Available Tools
The server provides the following tools:
create_incident: Create new incidentscreate_kb_article: Create knowledge base articlescreate_client_script: Create client-side scriptscreate_business_rule: Create business rulescreate_sla_definition: Create SLA definitionscreate_record_producer: Create record producers with customizable variablescreate_variable_set: Create reusable variable sets for catalog items
Record Producer Details
The create_record_producer tool allows you to create ServiceNow record producers with the following features:
create_record_producer(
name="Report Network Issue",
table_name="incident",
short_description="Use this form to report network connectivity issues",
category_sys_id="optional_category_sys_id",
script="optional_server_side_script",
variables=[
{
"name": "issue_type",
"label": "Type of Issue",
"type": "choice",
"choices": ["Connectivity", "Performance", "Access"],
"mandatory": True
},
{
"name": "affected_users",
"label": "Number of Affected Users",
"type": "integer",
"mandatory": True
}
]
)
Key features:
- Customizable form fields with various types (string, integer, boolean, reference, etc.)
- Server-side scripting support
- Category assignment
- Mandatory field configuration
- Default values and help text
Variable Sets
The create_variable_set tool allows you to create reusable variable sets that can be attached to multiple catalog items:
create_variable_set(
name="Hardware Request Variables",
description="Common variables for hardware requests",
variables=[
{
"name": "device_type",
"label": "Device Type",
"type": "choice",
"choices": ["Laptop", "Desktop", "Tablet", "Phone"],
"mandatory": True
},
{
"name": "justification",
"label": "Justification",
"type": "text",
"mandatory": True,
"help_text": "Please explain why you need this hardware"
}
]
)
Variable sets support:
- Multiple variable types (string, integer, boolean, reference, choice, etc.)
- Custom validation rules
- Help text and descriptions
- Mandatory field configuration
- Default values
- Reference fields to other ServiceNow tables

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
