ServiceNow Incident MCP

by VajraM-dev

ServiceNow Incident MCP

FastMCP server exposing 6 ServiceNow incident tools over streamable HTTP at /mcp.

The caller's bearer token is forwarded straight to ServiceNow — no credentials are stored server-side, and every call runs under the ACLs of whoever the token belongs to.

Tool

Purpose

list_incidents

search with a ServiceNow encoded query

get_incident

fetch by INC… number or sys_id, with the journal thread

create_incident

new incident

update_incident

patch arbitrary fields

add_comment

append a work note or customer comment

resolve_incident

state=6 + close_code + close_notes in one write

Run it

uv sync
uv run --env-file .env server.py          # http://localhost:8000/mcp

Or in a container:

docker build -t servicenow-mcp .
docker run -p 8000:8000 -e SERVICENOW_INSTANCE_URL=https://dev12345.service-now.com servicenow-mcp

Call it with Authorization: Bearer <servicenow-oauth-token>:

eval "$(uv run --env-file .env login.py)"   # browser login, returns a token
SERVICENOW_TOKEN=$SERVICENOW_TOKEN uv run test_client.py

.env needs SERVICENOW_INSTANCE_URL, plus SN_CLIENT_ID / SN_CLIENT_SECRET for login.py. The server itself only reads SERVICENOW_INSTANCE_URL.

Test

uv run test_server.py    # offline self-check: token extraction, path-traversal rejection

Docs

uv run --group docs mkdocs serve -a 127.0.0.1:8001

Covers the passthrough pattern, ServiceNow setup and its traps, the tool reference, troubleshooting, design decisions, and a build log.

Branches

  • master — this: a plain HTTP MCP server, no cloud coupling

  • bedrock-agentcore — a working deployment to AWS Bedrock AgentCore Runtime, with IAM SigV4 inbound auth and one-command teardown

  • jwt-inbound-auth — an experiment in using the ServiceNow token as the AgentCore inbound JWT. It does not work, and the branch records why
