ServiceNow MCP Server Bridges Snowflake and ServiceNow Data for Unified AI Queries

·95 views

Developers have documented an architecture that connects Snowflake's Cortex Agent and ServiceNow's Knowledge Graph through ServiceNow's MCP Server, enabling a single AI agent to answer questions spanning both platforms. Hardware asset data is stored in Snowflake while software asset data resides in ServiceNow, but users can query both through one natural-language question. The MCP Server acts as a gateway, routing queries to the appropriate internal tool — either a subflow that invokes Snowflake's Cortex Agent or a ServiceNow Knowledge Graph search. Claude Code serves as the MCP Client, communicating with the server via OAuth authentication without needing to know where underlying data is stored. The setup allows a user to ask a question like 'What assets are managed by Tim?' and receive a consolidated answer drawn from both systems.

Upload Your RAM: New Website Invites Users to Share Their Memory

A website called Upload Your RAM has been posted on Hacker News, drawing a small amount of attention with three points and no comments so far. The linked page, uploadyourram.org, is the only substantive detail available in the source material. The item provides no description of the site's purpose, operators, or functionality. Further information would be needed to explain what the project actually does.

Marketing Agencies Face a 2030 Shift as AI Commoditizes Execution Work

Agencies have long billed clients by the hour for creative and analytical output, but AI tools now produce much of that work in seconds, undermining the traditional model. Producing generic AI content in larger volumes would only intensify price competition, and many brands are moving routine production in-house. The article argues that lasting value lies in defining the real business problem, setting the creative standard, verifying outputs, and building client trust. It predicts the industry will split between large automated platforms and small, high-caliber advisory teams, leaving little room for the middle.

COBOL Phoenix Translates Legacy COBOL to Python and Verifies Behavior Against GnuCOBOL

A developer built COBOL Phoenix, an open-source tool that converts COBOL programs into Python while checking that the output matches the original. The project includes a custom COBOL front end that flags unsupported constructs rather than silently dropping them, and a runtime that reproduces COBOL's decimal handling, rounding, and sign behavior. Verification compares results against GnuCOBOL using generated test inputs and mutation analysis to confirm the test suite catches injected faults. Reported results include 127 of 127 sample cases matching GnuCOBOL, 180 of 180 on an independent insurance underwriting program, and 20 programs parsed without errors. The project was created for the Kiroween 2026 hackathon and is available under the Apache-2.0 license.

VigilShield: $19 Windows tool blocks connections to known attacker servers

A school teacher from Narowal, Pakistan has built VigilShield, a one-time $19 guard for Windows 10 and 11 that monitors outbound network connections. It checks each connection against threat lists drawn from public feeds such as abuse.ch and FireHOL, and blocks matches through Windows Firewall with an alert. The tool also includes ransomware canary files, alerts for suspicious programs, and USB, startup and hosts-file guards. The developer states it is not an antivirus replacement, cannot predict attacks, and does not stop every attack, and that it runs locally without sending data elsewhere.
