Configure Build Agent

Configure Build Agent on your instance by installing Build Agent and connecting to the Figma MCP server to enable AI-powered design workflows.

Note:

Build Agent is enabled by default to create apps with AI, for example in ServiceNow Studio. To use other Now Assist products, such as the app generation skill, disable Build Agent. For example, using the setting in your ServiceNow Studio preferences. For more information, see Use the app generation skill to generate apps.

Configuring Build Agent involves several sequential steps:

• Installing the Now Assist for Creator application from the ServiceNow Store (Paid version only)
• Activating the required plugins for your version
• Establishing MCP server connections

Complete these steps to ensure that all dependencies and integrations are in place before using Build Agent.
