Agents surface high-priority incidents and aging tickets.
IT service management
ServiceNow MCP server
Give AI agents governed access to the ServiceNow MCP server through one audited gateway. Scoped permissions, full observability, and tamper-evident logs on every tool call.
What is the ServiceNow MCP server?
The ServiceNow MCP server is an open Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI agents to ServiceNow incidents, requests, and the CMDB. Through it an agent can search records, create and update incidents, and query configuration items without bespoke integration code, while the Averta MCP Gateway keeps every action scoped and audited.
Search records across tables.
Create an incident with priority.
Update incident state and fields.
List incidents by status and assignee.
Read a record and its fields.
Create a service catalog request.
Assign a task to a group or user.
Query configuration items in the CMDB.
Add a work note or comment.
Run a report and read results.
Why the Averta MCP Gateway
Centralized governance
Unified authentication, audit logging, and rate control for every ServiceNow MCP connection.
Observability and control
Real-time visibility into usage, anomalies, and SLA compliance across every request.
One-click deployment
Enable the ServiceNow MCP server for your AI teams through one governed gateway, with no manual setup.
Enterprise hardening
High availability, security, and compliance alignment turn MCP from a developer utility into production-grade infrastructure.
OAuth and SSO enforcement
Enterprise authentication and SSO applied automatically to every ServiceNow endpoint.
Shared and per-user auth
Configure service accounts or per-user access, with secrets protected and centralized revocation.
One managed endpoint
Connect agents to ServiceNow through a single governed endpoint instead of locally run servers, improving your security posture.
Granular tool access control
Allow only the tools each role needs. Enable read-only access and block write tools like create and delete.
Works with every major AI platform
CognitionBuilt for enterprise teams.
Cloud, private VPC, embedded SDK, or gateway integration. Run Averta where your data, policies, and auditors need it.
Cloud (SaaS)
Fully managed by Averta. Fastest path to production, no infrastructure to run.
Private / VPC
Deploy in your own environment, so data never leaves your boundary.
Embedded SDK & Proxy
Drop Averta into your stack at the SDK or proxy layer, wherever your agents run.
Gateway Integration
Route agent traffic through the gateway, so policy and audit apply at the edge.

Security and setup questions teams ask before connecting the ServiceNow MCP server to AI agents.
Yes. The Averta MCP Gateway sits between your AI agents and any MCP server, giving each agent scoped, per-agent permissions, applying allow, escalate, or block policies on every tool call, and recording a tamper-evident audit of every action. The “Why the Averta MCP Gateway” section on this page covers what it enforces.
It is as safe as the controls around it. The server can read and write records across ITSM and the CMDB through one token, so scoping and auditing are essential. The Averta MCP Gateway limits what each agent can reach and records every action.
Apply tool-level policy through the Averta MCP Gateway so queries and reads run automatically while creates and updates escalate for approval. Every call is logged.
Route agents through Averta's MCP Gateway for scoped per-agent permissions, tool-level policy, and tamper-evident audit across every ServiceNow action.
Yes. ServiceNow provides official MCP support for its platform. Routing it through the Averta MCP Gateway gives each agent scoped record access with a tamper-evident audit trail.
