How to Set Up and Use Fluent
The Fluent MCP Server brings the ServiceNow Fluent SDK directly into AI-assisted development environments by exposing 10 SDK command tools and 275+ resources covering 58 ServiceNow metadata types. It lets Claude and other MCP clients initialize, build, deploy, and transform ServiceNow apps in TypeScript through natural language prompts, with automatic authentication profile detection tied to your ServiceNow instance. Developers building on the ServiceNow platform can dramatically accelerate their workflow by describing what they want in plain English rather than memorizing CLI flags.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 20.18.0 or later installed
- npm 11.4.1 or later
- @servicenow/sdk 4.7.1 installed globally (`npm install -g @servicenow/sdk`)
- A ServiceNow developer instance URL and credentials (basic auth or OAuth)
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf
Ensure Node.js and the ServiceNow SDK are installed
The Fluent MCP Server requires Node.js 20.18+ and the ServiceNow SDK CLI. Install or verify both before proceeding.
node --version # must be >= 20.18.0
npm install -g @servicenow/[email protected]
now-sdk --versionAdd the server to your MCP client configuration
Edit your MCP client's config file to register fluent-mcp with your ServiceNow instance credentials. On Claude Desktop (macOS) the file is ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json.
{
"mcpServers": {
"fluent-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modesty/fluent-mcp"],
"env": {
"SN_INSTANCE_URL": "https://your-instance.service-now.com",
"SN_AUTH_TYPE": "basic",
"SN_USER_NAME": "your-username",
"SN_PASSWORD": "your-password"
}
}
}
}Restart your MCP client
Restart Claude Desktop (or your chosen client) so it picks up the new server configuration and loads the 10 SDK tools plus 275+ ServiceNow resources.
Verify the connection
Ask Claude to list the available Fluent metadata types or check SDK info to confirm the server is connected and authenticated.
Initialize a new ServiceNow Fluent app
Use the `init_fluent_app` tool through a natural language prompt. The server will elicit any missing parameters interactively.
Build and deploy your application
Use `build_fluent_app` and `deploy_fluent_app` tools via prompts. Authentication is auto-injected from the session established at startup.
Fluent Examples
Client configuration
Register the Fluent MCP Server in Claude Desktop with ServiceNow instance credentials for basic authentication.

"mcpServers": {
"fluent-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modesty/fluent-mcp"],

"SN_AUTH_TYPE": "basic",
"SN_USER_NAME": "admin",
"SN_PASSWORD": "your-password"
}
}
}
}Prompts to try
Natural language prompts that exercise SDK commands, resource lookup, and deployment workflows.
- "Create a new Fluent app in ~/projects/asset-tracker for IT asset management"
- "Show me the business-rule API specification and give me an example snippet"
- "Explain the Fluent SDK BusinessRule API with a brief summary"
- "Transform the XML from my download directory into Fluent TypeScript for the incident table"
- "Build my Fluent app and report any compilation errors"
- "List all 58 supported ServiceNow metadata types"Troubleshooting Fluent
Authentication fails or the server emits 'no matching auth profile' at startup
Ensure SN_INSTANCE_URL matches exactly the URL of your ServiceNow instance (including the protocol). Run `now-sdk auth --add` manually in your terminal to create a profile, then restart the MCP client so it auto-detects the profile.
SDK commands fail with 'command not found' for now-sdk
Install the ServiceNow SDK globally: `npm install -g @servicenow/[email protected]`. Make sure the npm global bin directory is in your PATH so the MCP server can invoke the CLI.
Tools return errors in CI/CD pipelines where interactive prompts are not possible
Use the CI/CD environment variables: set SN_SDK_NODE_ENV=SN_SDK_CI_INSTALL, SN_SDK_INSTANCE_URL, SN_SDK_USER, and SN_SDK_USER_PWD for basic auth, or SN_SDK_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID and SN_SDK_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET for OAuth client_credentials flow.
