Connect ServiceNow to live Active Directory data, securely.
CData Connect AI lets you plug any business application into any AI tool — like Active Directory into ServiceNow — for live, trusted answers and actions with zero data copies.
Give Active Directory rich semantic context and real-time data from ServiceNow so it can answer precisely and take safe, effective actions across your business.
Active Directory:
Active Directory (AD) is a directory service developed by Microsoft for managing users, computers, and other resources within a network environment. It stores information and settings in a hierarchical database, providing centralized authentication and authorization services. AD enables administrators to enforce security policies, deploy software, and manage access to network resources efficiently.
ServiceNow:
ServiceNow’s agent framework and automation platform powers AI-driven workflows across ServiceNow IT Service Management (ITSM), ServiceNow Customer Service Management (CSM), ServiceNow HR Service Delivery (HRSD), and more. With Connect AI, you can give these agents live, governed business data from systems beyond ServiceNow—without copying it into tables or maintaining fragile integrations.
Popular ServiceNow & Active Directory integration use cases
- Autonomous ITSM/CSM/HRSD agents — Enable Virtual Agent or Now Assist to resolve incidents, requests, and cases using real-time context from Active Directory.
- Context-aware Flow Designer automations — Trigger workflows that take actions (approvals, escalations, assignments) based on live Active Directory data.
- Cross-platform execution — Let ServiceNow agents orchestrate actions across ServiceNow and external systems using governed data from Active Directory.
- Governed read/write access — Expose only approved operations on Active Directory with full RBAC, masking, and request logging for audit-ready agent activity.

Active Directory to ServiceNow Features
Real-time data accessed in-place
Access data where it lives right now. Ensure data is always live, always retains its metadata and semantics, and always protected by source system permissions.
Semantic intelligence & preserved context
Expose your data's metadata, relationships, and context so AI has real understanding of your business without recreating it on top of a warehouse.
One connection to both explore and take action
Point-and-click connection setup that works for both queries and actions so you can set up integrations in minutes.
Enterprise security and governance
Pass through and edit role-based access control (RBAC) inherited from the source to users in AI and AI agents.
How It Works: Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Connect AI is first managed Model Context Protocol (MCP) platform for AI integration. Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants, agents, and automations to external tools and data.
With Connect AI's managed MCP platform, you can present your enterprise systems as standardized MCP tools and resources and call them directly from AI.
Instead of building and maintaining dozens of one-off MCP Servers, your AI simply calls one universal MCP URL from Connect AI, and gets governed access to live data from across your enterprise stack.
Getting Started is Easy:
- Configure data sources (Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday, SQL, Jira, etc.) in Connect AI.
- Create a 'Remote MCP' URL.
- Connect ServiceNow to your business data.
