Azure DevOps MCP Server
Pick it when your team lives in Azure DevOps and you want the agent to read work items, PRs and pipeline logs; start with X-MCP-Readonly and narrow toolsets, since writes act as you.
Install
Remote (VS Code): add `{"servers":{"ado-remote-mcp":{"url":"https://mcp.dev.azure.com/{organization}","type":"http"}}}` to .vscode/mcp.json; Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http ado https://mcp.dev.azure.com/{organization} --client-id {client-id} --callback-port 3118`. Local: `npx -y @azure-devops/mcp {organization}` (optionally `-d core work work-items`). Official install docs ↗
Credentials: Microsoft Entra ID (OAuth) for the remote server; Cursor and Claude Code need a custom Entra app registration, Claude Desktop and Codex must use the local server. Local server: interactive Microsoft sign-in, Azure CLI, credential chain, bearer token or PAT.
What it can access
Reads and changes Azure DevOps data you can access: projects and teams, work items and queries, repos, branches, pull requests and comments, pipelines (including queuing runs), wikis, test plans and Advanced Security alerts. Remote server supports `X-MCP-Readonly` and toolset/tool filtering headers; local server loads domains with `-d`.
