Questions

What is the servicenow-api MCP server?

ServiceNow MCP Server and API Wrapper

What tools does servicenow-api expose?

2 in total: 2 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is servicenow-api safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it D (69/100) and found 1 critical or high issue in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.

What credentials does servicenow-api need?

It reads LLM_API_KEY and SERVICENOW_PASSWORD from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does servicenow-api run?

It speaks sse, stdio and streamable-http, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on PyPI as servicenow-api.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (9d35f7f9520a), read on 2026-10-10. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
