Swsd Overview
The swsd MCP server exposes SolarWinds Service Desk (SWSD/Samanage) operations to MCP-compatible clients through 66 tools. It supports incident and service-request workflows alongside knowledge-base content, changes, releases, assets, CMDB records, procurement, risks, time entries, attachments, lookups, and audits. Run it locally over stdio with an SWSD administrator JWT, or use its HTTP deployment path for clients such as Microsoft Copilot Studio. Reach for swsd when an agent needs to inspect or update service-management records while forwarding the user's token per request rather than storing credentials.
Primary Use Cases for Swsd:
- Investigate and update incidents from an MCP client
- Search knowledge-base solutions for support answers
- Inspect assets and CMDB relationships during ticket work
- Create changes, releases, problems, and service requests
