Show full answer Show less Notably, many releases including Yokohama, Zurich, and Australia had no updates or removals to MCP Server Console features, focusing attention primarily on new capabilities introduced in Zurich and Australia. ## Key Features * **Expanded Tool Creation:** Starting with Zurich and enhanced in Australia, you can create MCP Server Console tools from a wider range of capabilities such as Knowledge Graphs, Subflows, Actions, scripted REST APIs, and Now Assist skills. This broadens the types of integrations and workflows you can enable for MCP clients. * **Moveworks Quickstart Server:** Introduced in Zurich, this server facilitates piloting upcoming MCP capabilities and allows tools to be added exclusively on this platform, helping you test and adopt new features rapidly. * **Preconfigured Quickstart Server:** Available for Australia, this server includes ready-made tools for incident and case record lookups and summaries, accelerating deployment and client connectivity. * **OAuth Integration Enhancements:** The MCP Server Console now embeds OAuth Client registration directly within its console wizard, simplifying authentication setup by eliminating the need to switch between consoles. OAuth inbound integrations enable secure connections between MCP Server Console servers and clients. * **Client Authorization via OAuth:** The Australia release introduces an alternate OAuth client authorization method integrated within MCP Server Console, streamlining the authorization process. * **Monitoring and Usage Dashboards:** The Australia release adds an MCP Server monitoring dashboard to track performance and tool usage over time, plus an Agentic Usage Overview Dashboard to monitor record access and flow executions from MCP clients. * **ServiceNow AI Platform Tiers:** Across Zurich and Australia, MCP Server Console supports three AI licensing tiers---Foundation, Advanced, and Prime---allowing you to scale AI agent capabilities from insight delivery to autonomous actions and custom AI agent creation. * **MCP App Creation:** You can build interactive MCP apps to manage and display tool interfaces within MCP clients, enhancing user experience and tool management. * **Third-Party Identity Provider Integration:** Support for integrating third-party IDPs enables user authentication through external providers, enhancing security and compliance. * **Annotations Configuration:** Administrators can configure annotations across all supported tool types, ensuring MCP clients apply correct permission policies based on the MCP specification. ## Activation and Requirements The MCP Server Console is activated via the Now Assist application.
