Building an MCP Server on ServiceNow and Connecting Claude to It
by Travis Toulson.
I have built a handful of MCP servers off platform now, and the shape of it is always the same. Spin up a Node project. Wire in the MCP SDK. Figure out auth, which is never as simple as the docs make it look. Then find somewhere to actually run the thing, so now you are picking a host, standing up a deploy pipeline, and maintaining a second project that has nothing to do with the problem you sat down to solve. Somewhere near the end of all that, you finally get to write the part that talks to ServiceNow.
Good read and something to try out!
