NowAIKit: ServiceNow MCP Server

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

450+ 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 to see what depends on a table, field, or script before you change it (list_table_config, find_field_references, find_script_references), Local Sync to pull widgets and scripts to local files, edit, and push them back, and aggregate_report for server-side reports (count plus averages, no 1,000-row truncation) with chart-ready output for Copilot and Teams.

🚀 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.

Keeping it up to date: NowAIKit checks on startup and, when a newer version is out, asks a single "Update now?". Say yes and it updates itself. You can also run nowaikit update any time, or npm install -g nowaikit@latest.

Prefer a UI? Run npx nowaikit web for a local dashboard (chat, instance manager, tool browser, audit log), all on your machine.

🔌 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"
      }
    }
  }
}

CLI binary overrides: when using --provider claude-cli or --provider codex-cli, set NOWAIKIT_CLAUDE_BIN or NOWAIKIT_CODEX_BIN to point at a non-default executable path.

💬 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.

Maintainer & continuity

Built and maintained by AARTIQ Ltd (United Kingdom), and shipped often, usually several releases a month (see CHANGELOG). It is a single-vendor open project: one accountable team owns quality and support, with community contributions welcome on top.

You are not tied to that team continuing: the source is available under the Elastic License 2.0, and you get perpetual self-host and fork rights, so a deployed copy keeps working no matter what, and you could fork and carry on if you ever needed to. Commercial support and an SLA are available for production use. Details in GOVERNANCE.md. Contributions: CONTRIBUTING.md.

Licensing

NowAIKit is free to use and source available under the Elastic License 2.0. Read it, run it, fork it, and use it inside your organisation, including to deliver ServiceNow work for clients, at no charge.

Providing NowAIKit as a hosted or managed service, reselling it, or embedding it in a paid product needs a commercial agreement. For that, or for enterprise hosting, support and consulting, contact [email protected]. See NOTICE.
