What is the Servicenow MCP server?

The most comprehensive ServiceNow MCP server — 450+ tools across all modules. Integrates with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and any LLM. Exposed over MCP by the servicenow mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • Cursor — AI エディタ
  • Windsurf — AI エディタ
  • MCP_TRANSPORT — stdio
  • MCP_HTTP_PORT — 3000
  • MCP_HTTP_HOST — 127.0.0.1
  • MCP_HTTP_PATH — /mcp
  • MCP_HTTP_AUTH_TOKEN — (必須)
  • MCP_HTTP_CORS_ORIGIN — *
  • MCP_HTTP_ALLOWED_HOSTS — (なし)
  • MCP_HTTP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS — (なし)
  • MCP_HTTP_MAX_BODY_BYTES — 1048576
  • MCP_HTTP_MAX_SESSIONS — 100

Adding it to your client

@tedorigawa001/servicenow-mcp on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

Configuration

You will need 8 environment variables: SERVICENOW_INSTANCE_URL, SERVICENOW_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID, SERVICENOW_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET, WRITE_ENABLED, SCRIPTING_ENABLED, MCP_HTTP_HOST, MCP_HTTP_AUTH_TOKEN, MCP_HTTP_PATH. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

When to reach for it

Plenty of AI and media services servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Servicenow's toolset — Cursor, Windsurf, MCP_TRANSPORT and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by tedorigawa001; 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.

Caveats

  • 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.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Servicenow.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the servicenow mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Servicenow to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (Cursor, Windsurf, MCP_TRANSPORT, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Servicenow directly.
