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.
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.
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.
