Azure DevOps On-Premises MCP Server
Model Context Protocol MCP server for on-premises Azure DevOps that lets AI assistants browse repositories, review pull requests, manage work items, and interact with wikis. Its 36 documented tools cover devops, work, pull, comment. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

02 · Evidence
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 local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions
license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository
pypi package mcp-devops-onpremise - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry namespace io.github.zwitbaum is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
