Azure DevOps (ADO) MCP Server

This project gives AI agents access to Azure DevOps through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Use the hosted remote server for the simplest setup, or run the local server when you need a stdio connection.

Teams that want a hosted cloud infrastructure endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Azure DevOps (ADO)

Claude Code

claude mcp add microsoft-azure-devops-mcp --transport http https://mcp.dev.azure.com

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "microsoft-azure-devops-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.dev.azure.com"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as remote - your agent's requests go to mcp.dev.azure.com

endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize

license MIT - declared in the repository

registry registry publisher io.github.PremierInc is not the repo owner (microsoft) - the registry entry was published by someone else

Limitations (from the README)

[!WARNING] We recently completed a full tool consolidation that includes renaming of existing tools. Please see the Toolset documentation for the complete list of new tool names. If this is a breaking change for your agents or skills, you can temporarily pin the version to @azure-devops/[email protected]
