# ServiceNow MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > ServiceNow MCP lets you manage your entire IT service lifecycle through your AI agent. You can create incidents, track service requests, query the CMDB, and search the knowledge base without jumping between tabs.

With this Connector, you just ask your AI agent. It handles the heavy lifting of navigating complex menus and dot-walking through configuration items. You can triage incidents, submit service requests, and review change approvals while staying in your primary workspace. If you need to know the status of a specific asset or find a knowledge base article to help a customer, the agent pulls that data instantly. It is like having an IT operations expert sitting next to you, doing the clicking and searching so you don't have to. By adding this to your Vinkius catalog, you get a direct line into your ITSM backbone. You stop being a data entry clerk for your own tickets and start actually solving the problems that matter. You can move from identifying a problem to updating a record without ever leaving your conversation. ## Tools ### get_record Fetch every field of a single ServiceNow record using its unique sys_id. ### update_record Modify specific fields on an existing ServiceNow record to keep your data current. ### query_table Execute SysParm-filtered queries against any table, including dot-walking for related fields. ### count_records Get the total count of records from a table to quickly pull metrics for dashboards. ### create_record Create new records in tables like incident, change_request, or sc_request using JSON fields. ### delete_record Remove a record from ServiceNow permanently.

The agent uses list_incidents to present a prioritized list of active outages. ### Rapid change request creation A DevOps engineer describes a database upgrade. The agent uses create_record to build the change request with the correct risk level and assignment group. ### Knowledge base troubleshooting A help desk analyst asks about VPN issues. The agent uses search_knowledge to find the correct troubleshooting guide and shares the resolution steps. ### Infrastructure relationship audit An IT director asks about the servers connected to a specific database. The agent uses query_cmdb to map out the configuration item relationships. ## Benefits - Skip the Fiori dashboard.
