An official Microsoft-maintained Azure DevOps MCP server offering both a recommended remote endpoint and an optional local server, covering projects, work items, repos, wikis, test plans, and pipelines; requires Microsoft account sign-in, has a large tool surface best scoped via domains, and recently underwent a breaking tool renaming worth checking before upgrading.

Recommended (remote, no install): add an entry to .vscode/mcp.json with type 'http' pointing to https://mcp.dev.azure.com/{organization}, then start it from the MCP view in VS Code. The first tool call opens a browser prompt to sign in with a Microsoft account matching the chosen organization.
Optional (local stdio): install Node.js 20+, configure .vscode/mcp.json with command 'npx' and args ["-y", "@azure-devops/mcp", "${input:ado_org}"] as a stdio server, save and start it in VS Code, then select tools in Agent Mode. Use the -d flag (e.g. "-d", "core", "work", "work-items") to load only needed tool domains; keep the core domain enabled.
{
"inputs": [
{
"id": "ado_org",
"type": "promptString",
"description": "Azure DevOps organization name (e.g. 'contoso')"
}
],
"servers": {
"ado": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@azure-devops/mcp", "${input:ado_org}"]
}
}
}
Works in clients that read an "mcpServers" key. For clients such as VS Code that use a different key, the configurator below converts it.
{
"servers": {
"ado": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@azure-devops/mcp",
"${input:ado_org}"
]
}
}
}
Goes in your project's .vscode/mcp.json (VS Code uses a "servers" key).
claude mcp add ado -- npx -y @azure-devops/mcp '${input:ado_org}'
Run it in a terminal; replace any <…> placeholders with your own values first.
Save .vscode/mcp., start the server from the MCP view in VS Code, and run the prompt 'List ADO projects' in Copilot Chat Agent Mode; the first ADO tool call opens a browser for Microsoft account login, and a returned project list confirms the connection.
Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant things like:

Official Microsoft-maintained MCP server that connects AI agents to Azure DevOps, exposing organizations, projects, boards/work items, repositories, wikis, test plans, and pipelines. The recommended path is a no-install remote streamable-HTTP endpoint (mcp.dev.azure.com/{organization}); an optional local Node.js/npm stdio server is also provided, with tool coverage scopeable via 'domains' such as core, work, work-items, search, test-plans, repositories, wiki, pipelines, and advanced-security.
