ServiceNow

Live

OAUTH 2.0

ITSM

Customer Support

Every incident, change request, and CMDB record your IT team manages lives in ServiceNow. ServiceNow MCP gives your agent authenticated access to ITSM data scoped to the user who authorized it.

  • Acts as the user: Access and write actions stay tied to the ServiceNow account that authorized the agent.
  • Credentials stay vaulted: AES-256, resolved at request time, never in LLM context.
  • Scoped before every call: Permissions enforced. 90-day audit trail.

SEE HOW AUTH WORKS
Users authorize ServiceNow once. Their credentials stay vaulted, every call is checked, and every action is logged.
1
Authorize
Your user connects
ServiceNow
once. We tie it to their identity and the meetings they approved — no shared bot account, no org-wide access
Who:
user ‘A’
when:
Once per user
access:
Limited to user
2
Store
Their
ServiceNow
token lives in a vault scoped to them. User A's meetings are never reachable by an agent acting for user B, even on the same connection
vault:
encrypted
scope:
per-user
tokens:
auto-refreshed
3
Resolve
When your agent calls a
ServiceNow
tool, we fetch the right token server-side. It never touches your agent, never appears in the LLM context, never shows up in your logs
speed:
~40ms
check:
before every call
seen by:
nobody
4
Audit
Every
ServiceNow
tool call is logged — who triggered it, which meeting was fetched, what came back. 90 days of history, tied to the user who authorized it
history:
90 days
export:
SIEM-ready
logged:
every call
Test other agents
Same per-user auth pattern across other it service agents and MCP connectors. Working code, live demos, fork what fits.
Support and Ops Teams
Support triage agent
Fetches new Zendesk tickets, classifies them by type and urgency, searches the Notion knowledge base for an answer, and routes what it cannot resolve to Slack. Every call runs on the support agent's own delegated OAuth.
Support and Ops Teams
Support ticket automation agent
Fetches new Zendesk tickets, drafts a reply from Notion knowledge base articles, digests what it cannot answer to Slack, and archives the rest, acting as the support agent rather than a shared API key.
Support and Ops Teams
Freshdesk CSAT agent
Watches Freshdesk for resolved tickets, emails each requester a CSAT survey from Gmail, and writes the score and the verbatim back onto the ticket, every call on the support rep's own delegated OAuth.
Engineering Teams
Slack triage
Polls Slack for new messages, classifies bugs and support requests with a LangGraph router, files GitHub issues or Zendesk tickets, and confirms in the thread.

Why Scalekit
Secure your agent's access. Connectors ship in minutes
01.
Shared tokens break per-user analytics
A shared token looks fine in a demo. In production every call looks like a service account. Scalekit resolves the real user credential so attribution, audit, and scope stay accurate.
// shared token
 audit → bot_service_account
 user_filter → broken

 // scalekit
 audit → user_abc
 scope → enforced ✓
02.
Authentication is not authorization
03.
Multi-tenancy is architectural
04.
ServiceNow today. Others tomorrow.
“Our agents act across Salesforce, Gong, Google Drive, and more, on behalf of every customer. Scalekit behind the scenes meant we can keep adding tools without ever rebuilding how credentials or tool calling work.”

Head of Engineering / Von
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the agent access ServiceNow as the user or as a shared key?
As the user. Each workspace member authorizes once and Scalekit resolves their credential at request time. Audit logs attribute every action to that user, not a shared service account.
Where is the ServiceNow oauth 2.0 stored?
In Scalekit's managed AES-256 token vault, namespaced per tenant. Refresh is automatic. Revocation is a single dashboard action. Tokens never appear in prompts, logs, or LLM context.
Can I limit what the agent is allowed to do in ServiceNow?
Yes. Pass a tool name filter to listScopedTools so the IT service agent only sees the subset you authorize. Pre-API-call scope checks block out-of-policy actions before the request reaches ServiceNow.
What happens when a user revokes ServiceNow access?
The connection is invalidated on the next tool call. Subsequent requests for that user fail closed with a clear error. Other users in the tenant remain unaffected. The event is logged for audit.
Can the agent access and update CMDB records it does not own?
Depends on the authorizing user's ServiceNow ACLs. Read access is typically broad; write access to CMDB records requires explicit role grants. ServiceNow role-based access controls apply at every agent call.
