Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "azure-devops": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@dockndevai/mcp-azure-devops"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AZDO_ORG_URL": "your-value",
        "AZDO_PAT": "your-value",
        "AZDO_MODE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add azure-devops --env AZDO_ORG_URL=your-value --env AZDO_PAT=your-value --env AZDO_MODE=your-value -- npx -y @dockndevai/mcp-azure-devops

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "azure-devops": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@dockndevai/mcp-azure-devops"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AZDO_ORG_URL": "your-value",
        "AZDO_PAT": "your-value",
        "AZDO_MODE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "azure-devops": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@dockndevai/mcp-azure-devops"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AZDO_ORG_URL": "your-value",
        "AZDO_PAT": "your-value",
        "AZDO_MODE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is MCP Azure Devops safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: AZDO_ORG_URL, AZDO_PAT

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.3.3) reached the registry 12 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

mcp-azure-devops

A Model Context Protocol server for Azure DevOps. It lets an MCP-capable client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, …) work across boards, repos, pipelines, and projects — with a governance layer that keeps an AI agent inside safe boundaries.

What this offers

Projects & teams — list projects/teams/members, inspect process templates.
Boards / work items — WIQL queries, get work items, create/update work items, list iterations (sprints).
Repos / pull requests — list repositories and branches, list/get PRs, open PRs.
Pipelines / builds — list pipelines and recent builds, get a build, queue a run.
Admin / process — list process templates, create a project, delete a project (guarded).
Governance built in — access modes, project allowlists, protected projects, delete gating, typed confirmation for high-impact ops, dry-run, and JSON audit logging.

Governance & security model

Concern	Flag	Default	Effect
What can the server do?	`AZDO_MODE`	`read-only`	`read-only` → reads; `read-write` → work items, PRs, pipeline runs; `admin` → create/delete project. Tools above the mode are never registered.
Which projects are in scope?	`AZDO_PROJECT_ALLOWLIST`	(all)	Operations on other projects are refused.
Which projects are read-only forever?	`AZDO_PROTECTED_PROJECTS`	(none)	Readable, never mutable.
Can it delete?	`AZDO_ALLOW_DELETE`	`false`	`delete_project` needs this and admin mode.
Typed confirmation	`AZDO_REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION`	`true`	High-impact ops require `confirm` to equal the target name — not just a boolean.
Preview	`AZDO_DRY_RUN`	`false`	Write/admin tools validate + log intent, then return.
Audit trail	`AZDO_AUDIT_LOG`	`true`	JSON line to stderr per guarded operation.
Interactive confirmation	(automatic)	—	Destructive & high-impact actions prompt the human to approve via MCP elicitation before running; clients without elicitation fall back to the `_ALLOW_` gate.

Tools

Read (read-only+): list_projects, get_project, list_teams, list_team_members, list_processes, query_work_items, get_work_item, list_iterations, list_repositories, list_branches, list_pull_requests, get_pull_request, list_pipelines, list_builds, get_build

Write (read-write+): create_work_item, update_work_item, create_pull_request, run_pipeline

Admin (admin): create_project, delete_project (needs AZDO_ALLOW_DELETE + typed confirm)

Quickstart — add to your agent

Published on npm as @dockndevai/mcp-azure-devops. Runs via npx; needs an org and a PAT. See docs/CLIENTS.md for every client and .env.example for all variables.
