Building a local-first MCP server to connect Claude Desktop to ServiceNow. 🛠️
Why? Because most current MCP solutions rely on external cloud proxies and third-party middlemen. That's a massive security risk for enterprise ecosystems. I wanted something 100% local that runs entirely on your machine.
It’s just a v0.1 concept right now, but the foundation is solid: initialization and read-only access are fully working.
Built with Python 🐍
Open-source on GitHub 🐙
2-line command setup 💻
Wrote a short deep dive into the code, OAuth setup, and token optimization:

Any devs on here messing with ServiceNow or MCP? Let me know your thoughts. Is this the way, or am I heading down a rabbit hole?
