-## Why NowAIKit
-
-<table>
-<tr>
-<td width="33%" valign="top">
-
-### Fully Autonomous AI Operations
-
-Your AI doesn't just answer questions — it *acts*. Create incidents, write and deploy scripts, trigger flows, fire events, upload attachments, manage changesets, and run full ATF suites — end-to-end, without manual steps. Native Now Assist Agentic Playbook support for next-generation ServiceNow AI automation.
-
-</td>
-<td width="33%" valign="top">
-
-### Works With Every AI, Out of the Box
-
-**Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q, JetBrains, Continue.dev, Cline, Zed, Google AI Studio, Ollama** — all supported out of the box. Any MCP-compatible client. Any custom Python or TypeScript agent. One toolkit, every AI platform, zero lock-in.
-
-</td>
-<td width="33%" valign="top">
-
-### Unmatched Platform Coverage
-
-**400+ production-ready tools** across every ServiceNow domain — ITSM, ITOM, HRSD, CSM, SecOps, GRC, Agile, ATF, Flow Designer, Scripting, Now Assist, Service Portal, Integration Hub, Performance Analytics, System Properties, Update Sets, Virtual Agent, ITAM, DevOps, Machine Learning, Workspace/UIB, Mobile, and Deployment. Nothing else comes close.
-
-</td>
-</tr>
-<tr>
-<td width="33%" valign="top">
-
-### Role-Based Tool Intelligence
-
-Fourteen pre-built persona packages — service desk, platform developer, portal developer, integration engineer, ITOM engineer, AI developer, ITAM analyst, DevOps engineer, and more. Each exposes exactly the right tools for that role. Reduce noise, enforce least-privilege, and configure once per team.
-
-</td>
-<td width="33%" valign="top">
-
-### Safe by Default, Powerful When Needed
-
-A five-tier permission model keeps your instance protected. **Read is always on.** Write, CMDB, Scripting, Now Assist, and ATF capabilities each require an explicit opt-in flag. No AI can accidentally modify your production data. Scale permissions as your confidence grows — without touching code.
-
-</td>
-<td width="33%" valign="top">
-
-### True Multi-Instance & Multi-Customer
-
-Connect to **unlimited ServiceNow instances** from one session — dev, staging, prod, *and* multiple customer tenants simultaneously. Pass `instance: "acme_prod"` on any tool call, or `switch_instance` globally. MSPs, consultants, and enterprise teams can compare, query, and automate across every environment at once. No other ServiceNow AI toolkit does this.

-
-**Operations — plain English:**
-```
-You: "Show me all P1 incidents opened this week that are still unresolved"
-You: "Which assignment groups have the most open incidents right now?"
-You: "Find all change requests scheduled for this weekend"
-You: "Is any SLA about to breach in the next 2 hours?"
-```
-
-**Development — AI writes and deploys for you:**
-```
-You: "Create a business rule that auto-assigns high-priority incidents to the NOC group"
-You: "Write a client script that validates email format on the contact form"

-## Supported AI Clients
-
-**Any MCP-compatible AI works.** NowAIKit has been tested with every major AI assistant, editor, and agent framework. Pick yours and follow the 3-step setup below.
-
-### AI Assistants & Chat
-
-<details>
-<summary><b>Claude Desktop</b> — Anthropic (Mac / Windows / Linux)</summary>
-
-1. Install Claude Desktop from [claude.ai/download](https://claude.ai/download)
-2. Edit config:
-   - **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
-   - **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
-3. Add this block — **single instance** (replace path and credentials):
+## 🔌 Manual setup (skip the wizard)
 
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "nowaikit": {
-      "command": "node",
-      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/nowaikit/dist/server.js"],
-      "env": {
-        "SERVICENOW_INSTANCE_URL": "https://yourinstance.service-now.com",
-        "SERVICENOW_AUTH_METHOD": "basic",
-        "SERVICENOW_BASIC_USERNAME": "admin",
-        "SERVICENOW_BASIC_PASSWORD": "your_password",
-        "WRITE_ENABLED": "false"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Or use **multi-instance** (dev + staging + prod, or multiple customer tenants):
+Add this to your client's MCP config (Claude Desktop `claude_desktop_config.json`, Cursor `~/.cursor/mcp.json`, etc.):
 
 ```json
 {
   "mcpServers": {
     "nowaikit": {
-      "command": "node",
-      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/nowaikit/dist/server.js"],
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "nowaikit"],
       "env": {
-        "SN_INSTANCES_CONFIG": "/absolute/path/to/instances.json"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Copy `instances.example.json` → `instances.json`, fill in your instances, then ask:
-> *"List instances"* → *"Switch to prod"* → *"Show me all P1 incidents"*
-> *"Get open changes from customer_acme"* (uses `instance` parameter per-call)
-

-<summary><b>Google AI Studio</b> — Gemini 2.5 Flash / Pro / Gemini 3 (MCP Preview)</summary>
-
-Google AI Studio supports MCP servers via its agent execution environment (currently in preview).
-
-1. Go to [aistudio.google.com](https://aistudio.google.com) and open **Build → Agent**
-2. In the **Tools** panel, add an MCP Server and point it to your NowAIKit instance:
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "nowaikit",
-  "transport": "stdio",
-  "command": "node",
-  "args": ["/absolute/path/to/nowaikit/dist/server.js"],

-
-3. Alternatively, use the **Gemini API** directly with function calling by mapping NowAIKit tool definitions:
-
-```python
-import google.generativeai as genai

-## What's New in v2.5
-
-### Multi-provider AI chat in the Desktop app & Web Dashboard
-
-The nowaikit Desktop and Web Dashboard support **5 AI providers** side-by-side — with full agentic tool-use for all providers. All model lists are kept current with each provider's latest releases.
-
-- **Provider switcher** — one-click toggle between providers in the Chat header; per-provider model dropdown updates automatically
-- **Claude (Anthropic)** — Opus 4.6 · Sonnet 4.6 · Haiku 4.5
-- **ChatGPT / OpenAI** — GPT-5.2 · GPT-5.2 Pro · GPT-5.1 · GPT-5 mini · GPT-5 nano · GPT-4.1 · GPT-4o · o3 · o4 mini
-- **Gemini (Google AI)** — Gemini 3.1 Pro · Gemini 3 Pro · Gemini 3 Flash · 2.5 Pro · 2.5 Flash · 2.5 Flash Lite
-- **Groq (free)** — Llama 4 Maverick · Llama 4 Scout · Llama 3.3 70B · Llama 3.1 8B — ultra-fast inference, no credit card required
-- **OpenRouter (200+ models)** — unified gateway to OpenAI o1 Pro · xAI Grok 4 · Claude Opus 4.6 · Gemini 2.5 Flash · DeepSeek R1 · Llama 4 Maverick · and more — many free tiers available
-- **o3/o4 reasoning model support** — automatic detection skips system messages and switches to `max_completion_tokens`; tools not sent to models that don't support them
-
-### In-app provider sign-in
-
-Settings → AI Providers now shows a unified **"Sign in to {Provider}"** flow per provider:
-
-1. Click **Sign in to Claude / ChatGPT / Gemini / Groq / OpenRouter** — the provider's API key portal opens in your system browser
-2. Sign in to your account and create/copy an API key
-3. Paste it directly into the focused input that appears
-4. Click **Verify Key** — a lightweight validation call confirms the key is valid before you save
-
-Each provider panel shows a clear **subscription note** explaining that API access is separate from consumer subscriptions (Claude.ai Pro, ChatGPT Plus, Gemini Advanced). Groq and OpenRouter offer generous free tiers — no credit card required.
-
-### Slash-command tool picker in Chat
-
-Type `/` in the chat input to open a floating picker over all 400+ ServiceNow tools:
-
-- Filter by tool name or description as you type
-- `↑` / `↓` to navigate · **Tab** or **Enter** to select · **Esc** to close
-- Inserts `/toolname` into your message — the AI knows to invoke that specific tool
-
-### Other Desktop improvements
-
-- **Test Key button** — inline on the API key input; calls the provider's model-list endpoint to validate without sending a chat message
-- **Server health auto-recovery** — polls every 8 seconds; "offline" status recovers automatically without restarting the app
-- **Dashboard URL truncation** — long instance URLs are truncated with `…` (full URL on hover)
-- **Bug fix: ChatGPT and Gemini responses now display correctly** — responses were being silently dropped due to a content-format mismatch between provider response conversion and the renderer; now fully fixed for both providers and the HTTP API server
-
-[Full changelog](CHANGELOG.md)
-
-## What's New in v2.4
+## 📚 Docs
 
-### Zero-config setup & desktop experience
-- **`npx nowaikit setup`** — interactive wizard detects and writes config for every AI client automatically. No JSON editing.
-- **nowaikit Desktop** — cross-platform Electron app (macOS, Windows, Linux) with 8-step visual wizard, dashboard, tool browser, and audit log. No separate server install needed.
-- **Web dashboard** — served at `http://localhost:3100` by the HTTP server. Browse tools, view health, tail audit logs.
-
-### Slash commands & @ mentions
-- **11 built-in `/` slash commands** — `/morning-standup`, `/p1-alerts`, `/my-tickets`, `/create-incident`, `/sla-breaches`, `/ci-health`, `/run-atf`, `/switch-instance`, `/deploy-updateset`, and more
-- **6 `@` mention resources** — `@my-incidents`, `@open-changes`, `@sla-breaches`, `@instance:info`, `@ci:<name>`, `@kb:<title>`
-- Custom commands via `nowaikit.commands.json`
-
-### Enterprise features
-- **Audit logging** — every tool call logged to JSONL file + webhook (SIEM integration). Wired into both MCP and HTTP servers.
-- **SSO / OIDC** — Okta/Entra/Ping IdP → ServiceNow token exchange. `GET /auth/login` + `/auth/callback` routes in HTTP server.
-- **Org/team policy** (`nowaikit.org.json`) — admin-deployed config: allowed instances, locked tool packages, SSO enforcement, write controls. Deploy via MDM or GPO.
-- **Per-user execution context** — auth modes: `service-account`, `per-user` (OAuth Authorization Code), `impersonation`. Queries respect each user's ServiceNow ACLs.
-
-### App builder integrations
-- **HTTP API server** (`npm run serve`) — REST proxy for Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit apps. Keeps credentials server-side.
-- **Smithery registry** — `smithery install nowaikit` one-command install.
-

-## Frequently Asked Questions
-
-**Do I need to know the ServiceNow API to use this?**
-No. For beginners, you just connect your AI and ask questions in plain English. The kit handles all API calls automatically.
-
-**Which ServiceNow versions are supported?**
-All actively supported ServiceNow releases. The toolkit targets the latest available APIs and has been tested on the three most recent releases — **Australia**, **Zurich**, and **Yokohama** — and works on any currently supported instance.
-
-**Can I use this on a free Personal Developer Instance (PDI)?**
-Yes. Get a free PDI at [developer.servicenow.com](https://developer.servicenow.com) and connect in 5 minutes.
-
-**Is it safe to use on production?**
-Yes. The permission system is read-only by default. Write, scripting, and Now Assist capabilities must each be explicitly enabled with environment variables. Use role packages to limit the tool surface.
-
-**Can I use multiple AI providers at the same time?**
-Yes. Each AI client gets its own MCP config pointing at the same (or different) NowAIKit instance. Run Claude Desktop and Cursor side by side against the same ServiceNow environment. In the nowaikit Desktop app you can switch between Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini with one click inside the Chat page.
-
-**Does it support multi-instance / multiple customers?**
-Yes. Configure any number of instances (prod, staging, dev, or multiple customer tenants) via `instances.json` or environment variables. Use `list_instances`, `switch_instance`, and `get_current_instance` tools to manage them, or pass `instance: "name"` to any individual tool call. See [docs/MULTI_INSTANCE.md](docs/MULTI_INSTANCE.md).
