NowDev AI Toolbox

Overview

NowDev AI Toolbox is a Visual Studio Code extension that provides specialized AI agents for ServiceNow development within GitHub Copilot Chat. These agents are designed specifically for ServiceNow best practices and development workflows, offering targeted assistance for different aspects of ServiceNow development.

Installation & Usage

Prerequisites

• Visual Studio Code 1.93 or later
• GitHub Copilot Chat extension

The Context7 MCP Server must be installed manually in VS Code to enable the AI agents to reference official ServiceNow documentation and verified best practices during development.

Click the button above to install the Context7 MCP server plugin in VS Code.

Quick Start

1. Download the VSIX from the Releases section
2. Install the extension in VS Code: Extensions → Install from VSIX...
3. Open GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code
4. Select "NowDev-AI-Orchestrator" from the dropdown menu
5. Start chatting to plan and coordinate your ServiceNow development tasks

All agents are automatically available in every workspace once the extension is installed.

Recommended Workflow

Always start with the NowDev-AI-Orchestrator for any new task or feature. The orchestrator will:

• Analyze your requirements and create a detailed implementation plan
• Break down complex tasks into manageable steps
• Coordinate between specialized agents as needed
• Ensure all work follows ServiceNow best practices

You can also use specialized agents directly for specific tasks, but starting with the orchestrator ensures proper planning and coordination.
