What is the Fluent MCP Server?

MCP server for Fluent (ServiceNow SDK)

What the server does

This MCP server implements the Model Context Protocol specification with the following capabilities:

  • SDK Command Tools — - sdk_info plus ServiceNow SDK command tools for init, build, install, dependencies, transform, download, clean, pack, explain, and query
  • Rich Resources — - API specifications, instructions, and code snippets for 65 ServiceNow metadata types
  • API Documentation Lookup — - explain_fluent_api returns SDK docs for any Fluent API or guide — no project required
  • Lazy Auto-Authentication — - Detects and caches an auth profile only when an auth-requiring command or check_auth_status needs it
  • Explicit Project Context — - Resolves each project command from its workingDirectory argument, the initialized session, or FLUENT_MCP_WORKING_DIR, then fails with actionable guidance instead of guessing
  • Client-Friendly Schemas — - Optional inputs advertise their canonical value types while the enforced schema accepts null as an omitted-value compatibility form

Recorded tools

Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.

ToolWhat it does
sdk_infoGet SDK version or help
explain_fluent_apiLook up Fluent SDK documentation for any API or guide. No Fluent project required.
init_fluent_appInitialize or convert a ServiceNow app. Non-interactive: missing intent-specific arguments fail with an error naming them.
build_fluent_appBuild the application
deploy_fluent_appDeploy to a ServiceNow instance. SDK flow activation can be skipped.
fluent_transformConvert XML or instance metadata to Fluent TypeScript. Local paths do not require auth; instance transforms do.
download_fluent_dependenciesDownload dependencies and type definitions
download_fluent_appDownload metadata from an instance
clean_fluent_appClean output directory
pack_fluent_appCreate an installable artifact
query_fluent_recordsRead-only Table REST query against an instance; returns a JSON envelope
get-api-specGet an API specification or list all available metadata types
get-snippetGet a Fluent code snippet; without id, returns the first available snippet and any additional snippet IDs
get-instructGet authoring guidance, conventions, and common pitfalls for a metadata type
