Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Incident Management:** Retrieve detailed incident information (state, priority, assignment, CI, description, work notes) using `incident.getdetails`. Modify incidents with full business rule execution via `incident.modify`. Perform semantic search for similar incidents and Knowledge Base (KB) articles and link KB articles to incidents. * **Change Management:** Manage change requests throughout their lifecycle with tools for creation, updates, risk calculation, and planned outage management using `change.lifecycle`. Analyze changes, recommend assignment groups, retrieve risk and impact data, and check schedules and conflicts. * **Request Item Management:** Create and manage incidents or catalog requests through guided workflows including knowledge base deflection, catalog item redirection, and duplicate detection. Escalate incident urgency with mandatory reasons and add customer-visible comments to open incidents or requests. * **On-Call Scheduling:** Look up current on-call engineers by assignment group or shift, view active or upcoming shifts, request time off, and arrange coverage through an analyze-and-create workflow. * **Common Tools:** Use structured natural language queries on ITSM data, approve or reject pending approvals, and retrieve session time zone and current date/time information. ## Changes * Access to ITSM MCP Server requires the `snmcpserver.viewer` role as a base role. * Incident tools `incident.getdetails` and `incident.modify` are accessible to both fulfillers and requesters. Fulfillers can escalate incidents using `incident.modify`, while requesters can check incident status via `incident.getdetails`. * The tool previously named `requester.addcomment` is renamed to `request.modify`, allowing requesters to add customer-visible comments to requested items. Fulfillers can also add comments to incidents using `incident.modify`. ## Deprecations * The `requester.escalate` tool is deprecated and disabled by default. Customers should now use `incident.modify` with the `escalate` and `escalationreason` inputs to escalate incidents. ## Activation Information To activate ITSM MCP Server in Brazil (and prior releases where applicable), enable these plugins: * Now Assist for ITSM plugin (`snitsmgenai`) * Model Context Protocol Server (`snmcpserver`) * ITSM MCP Server (`snitsmmcpserver`) Activation details are consistent across Zurich, Australia, and Brazil releases. ## Additional Notes * No features or functionality were removed between Yokohama and Brazil. * No new additional requirements, browser requirements, accessibility, or localization changes were introduced. * Highlights include comprehensive ITSM MCP Server capabilities to manage incidents, change requests, request items, and on-call schedules with natural language support and workflow improvements.
