What is the Nowaikit MCP server?

If you already use Nowaikit, the nowaikit mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. The Most Comprehensive ServiceNow AI Toolkit — 450+ MCP tools + 26 AI capabilities (scan, review, build, ops, docs) + direct BYOK mode. Integrates with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and any LLM.

What the server does

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

Installation

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at nowaikit on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: SERVICENOW_INSTANCE_URL, SERVICENOW_BASIC_USERNAME, SERVICENOW_BASIC_PASSWORD. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Where it fits

Among the AI and media services options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. It is maintained by aartiq; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
