ServiceNow MCP server & Claude connector

Does ServiceNow have an official MCP server or Claude connector?

Official

As of October 2026, ServiceNow publishes an official way to reach its platform over MCP: MCP Server Console lets an admin expose instance tools as MCP servers, and Claude's directory lists a ServiceNow connector made by ServiceNow and marked Anthropic verified. Which tools you get depends on your instance's configuration, and the required license tier is unclear.

What an AI can do in ServiceNow

Read

  • Knowledge Graph tool

Run

  • Expose Now Assist skills as MCP tools
  • Expose Scripted REST APIs as tools (GET, POST, PUT; DELETE not exposable in current release)
  • Expose Flow Actions and Subflows as tools (needs AI ACL)
  • Preconfigured Quickstart MCP server

From the publisher’s documentation for the version we checked. Not every tool is listed.

Setup

Claude (claude.ai / Desktop)

Add the ServiceNow connector from the Claude directory and sign in. Available tools reflect your admin's configuration.

Source

Other clients

Admins create servers and tools in MCP Server Console (role sn_mcp_server.tools_admin); any external MCP client can then connect. Endpoint URL is instance-specific and was not found in the docs.

    Publisher verified

    Documented on servicenow.com docs (Brazil release, updated 2026-09-10) and listed in Claude's directory as "Made by ServiceNow" with an Anthropic verified badge.

  • Unknown

    Auth model

    The docs page does not name an auth method. A ServiceNow Community article mentions an OAuth session during the MCP handshake. Claude's directory says only "Sign-in required".

  • Flag

    Write and delete access

    The exposed tool set is whatever the instance admin configures, and can include create/update flows and PUT/POST REST tools. Each component needs an AI ACL; no instance-wide read-only switch is documented.

  • Unknown

    Tool-description injection scan

    Tool descriptions are defined by each customer instance and could not be reviewed. The fetched docs and community article contained no text addressed to AI.

  • Unknown

    Repo maintenance

    Closed-source product feature; no public repository.

FAQ

Does ServiceNow have an official MCP server?

Yes. ServiceNow documents MCP Server Console, which creates MCP servers hosted on your own instance. It is not one shared public endpoint.

Is ServiceNow a Claude connector?

Yes. Claude's directory lists a ServiceNow connector marked "Made by ServiceNow" and Anthropic verified, with sign-in required.

What can Claude do with it?

Only what your admin exposes: Now Assist skills, flows, subflows, Scripted REST APIs or Knowledge Graph, each behind ServiceNow permissions.

Is there a read-only mode?

None is documented at the console level. Admins choose which tools to expose, so leave out write flows to keep it read-only.

Which plan is needed?

Not stated clearly. The docs mention license tiers (Foundation, Advanced, Prime), and the Claude page states no plan requirement.
