Prerequisites
- A CMDB Compass account (sign up free)
- A ServiceNow instance with snc_read_only (audit) or itil (write) role
- An AI client: ServiceNow AI Agent Studio, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or ClawHub
Setup Guide
1Create an account
Sign up at cmdbcompass.com. Free tier includes full audit capabilities, no credit card required.
2Connect your ServiceNow instance
In the dashboard, go to Instances and add your ServiceNow URL and OAuth credentials.

4Start auditing
Ask your AI assistant to run a health check. Examples:
"Calculate the health score for my CMDB"
"Find duplicate CIs in the cmdb_ci_server table"
"Check CSDM compliance for my service offerings"
"Show me stale CIs not updated in 90 days"
Security and Architecture
CMDB Compass is built for enterprise environments where trust, auditability, and data sovereignty matter.
✓Direct connection, no proxy middleware
CMDB Compass connects directly to your ServiceNow instance via a secure, direct connection. Your data never passes through intermediary services.
✓No pip install or npm install required
Cloud hosted and accessed via URL and API key. No packages to install, no supply chain risk from third party dependencies.
✓Encrypted credential vault
All stored credentials are encrypted with per user key derivation. Keys are never stored alongside ciphertext.
✓Zero third party AI proxies
Your CMDB data is never sent to external AI services. The AI client you choose (Claude, ChatGPT, ServiceNow) calls CMDB Compass tools directly.
Compliance
Built in compliance controls for regulated industries.
