# What is this project
This project is meant as a helper tool for service now developer.
It provides a simple, desktop native UI to make Rest API call to a ServiceNow instance and to browse and query the result.
From standard Table API operations, such as selecting filtered records in a table, you will be able to perform advanced operations, like join operations between tables and grouping.
The same APIs used for the user interface also powers a local MCP server, so your AI model of choice can browse and study your ServiceNow instance.
This tool provides read-only methods, although PUT calls may be added in the future.
# Warning notice
This project is an independent, community tool: it is not affiliated with or endorsed by ServiceNow. ServiceNow is a trademark of ServiceNow, Inc.
This tool pulls data from a selected ServiceNow instance, using user provided authentication, to process it locally. Always make sure not to violate your organization's policies. I do not in any way condone misuse of this tool. To report a vulnerability, or to see what the tool stores and how, read the [security policy](SECURITY.md).
# How to use it
To get started with this tool first configure your instance and authentication methods in the *Configuration* tab.
Note: Your credentials are only saved locally and sent to ServiceNow to authenticate your requests.
- [Configuration](docs/configuration.md): settings, instances and authentication methods.
- [User interface](docs/user_interface.md): tabs and sidebar.
- [Database](docs/database.md): what is stored locally and where, how responses are reused and when they expire.
- [MCP](docs/mcp.md): the MCP server and its tools.
Each release includes two setup executables, for [Windows](https://github.com/MarcoAcce/ServiceNow_Developer_Panel/releases/latest/download/ServiceNowDeveloperPanelSetup.exe) and for [Linux](https://github.com/MarcoAcce/ServiceNow_Developer_Panel/releases/latest/download/ServiceNowDeveloperPanelSetup-linux-x86_64.tar.gz) .
Simply download the setup for your system and run it to install the application (portable ~180MB, but you can build the project yourself to save storage).
The installers are not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn you the first time you run the setup. See [Building and installing](docs/build.md) for what to expect, how to verify the download and how to build it yourself.
# Code stuff
This project is written entirely in Python.
I used `Pyside6` for the UI and the `mcp` package for the MCP server.
The list of packages needed to build this application is in the `requirement.txt` file.
`build_linux.sh` and `build_windows.sh` build the application and its installer with a
single command. See [Building and installing](docs/build.md).

Scored across 9 tools
Each tool targets a distinct operation: instance discovery, schema inspection, single vs. multi-table fetching, cache querying/exporting, ACL verification, and cache listing. The single/plural fetch pair and add_tables are clearly differentiated by their descriptions and explicit guidance.
All tool names follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun convention (list_instances, describe_table, request_table, query_cache, export_cache, verify_acl, list_cached_responses). No mixed casing or vague verb-only names.
Nine tools is well-scoped for a ServiceNow data exploration and ACL verification server. Each tool has a clear role in the workflow, with no redundant or filler tools.
The surface covers instance discovery, schema inspection, record fetching, SQL querying, export, ACL checks, and cache management. It appears intentionally read-only, so record mutation and explicit cache invalidation are minor gaps rather than dead ends.
