ServiceNow MCP AI

📖 Documentation site → A Model Context Protocol server that lets an MCP client (VS Code, Claude Desktop, etc.) run commands against a ServiceNow instance through its REST APIs - Table, Aggregate, Attachment, Import Set, Batch and CMDB, plus the Service Catalog, Change Management and Knowledge plugin APIs. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with itsm, servicenow and rest and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
