Apex: your AI platform engineer
Scan · Review · Build · Ops · Docs
26 capabilities covering all ServiceNow artifact types. Instance scanning, code review, test planning, documentation generation, and deployment operations, built into NowAIKit v4.0.0 via MCP (stdio, SSE, HTTP), A2A protocol, or Direct API mode. No separate install needed.
npx nowaikit run scan-health --provider anthropic
Five specialist clusters, one core
Every skill routes through the same NowAIKit core: your credentials, your permission tiers, your audit log.
Ask once, get a scored scan
Apex runs inside your AI client. One natural-language request triggers a full instance scan with severity-ranked findings.
• ACL gap on cmdb_ci table (admin role bypass) · Critical
• 14 script includes using deprecated API · High
• 3 business rules running synchronous REST calls · High
Up and running in one command
Install NowAIKit and connect it to your AI client in seconds.
npm install -g nowaikit
npx nowaikit setup
npx nowaikit run scan-health --provider anthropic
That is it. NowAIKit v4.0.0 includes all Apex capabilities built in. Use MCP mode (stdio, SSE, or HTTP) for AI client integration, the A2A protocol for agent-to-agent workflows, or Direct API mode for standalone CLI usage with 83% token savings.
