MCP Azure DevOps Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enabling AI assistants to interact with Azure DevOps services.

Overview

This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows AI assistants (like Claude) to interact with Azure DevOps, providing a bridge between natural language interactions and the Azure DevOps REST API.

Features

Currently implemented:

Work Item Management

• Query Work Items: Search for work items using WIQL queries
• Get Work Item Details: View complete work item information
• Create Work Items: Add new tasks, bugs, user stories, and other work item types
• Update Work Items: Modify existing work items' fields and properties
• Add Comments: Post comments on work items
• View Comments: Retrieve the comment history for a work item
• Parent-Child Relationships: Establish hierarchy between work items

Project Management

• Get Projects: View all accessible projects in the organization
• Get Teams: List all teams within the organization
• Team Members: View team membership information
• Team Area Paths: Retrieve area paths assigned to teams
• Team Iterations: Access team iteration/sprint configurations

Planned features:

• Pipeline Operations: Query pipeline status and trigger new pipeline runs
• Pull Request Handling: Create, update, and review Pull Requests
• Sprint Management: Plan and manage sprints and iterations
• Branch Policy Administration: Configure and manage branch policies
