Install the local Azure DevOps MCP Server
System requirements:Node.js 20.0+and an activeAzure DevOps organization.
The Azure DevOps MCP Server integrates with various development environments and AI assistants. Choose your preferred environment for instructions. The prerequisites listed in the table are environment-specific requirements in addition to the system requirements previously listed.

Traditional AI assistants lack context about your specific projects, work items, and team processes. They can help with generic coding questions but can't answer "What's blocking our current sprint?" or "Which pull requests need my review?" The Azure DevOps MCP Server bridges this gap by connecting your AI assistant directly to your Azure DevOps data.
The Azure DevOps MCP Server provides contextual intelligence based on your actual project data, not generic responses. You can ask natural language questions about your work items, sprints, and releases, and receive insights that understand your team's specific processes and terminology. This process eliminates context switching between tools, provides instant answers without navigating through the Azure DevOps web interface, and automates routine project management tasks through natural language.
The Azure DevOps MCP Server prioritizes data security and privacy:
- No external API calls: The server doesn't make external API calls that could expose sensitive project information
- User control: You maintain full control over what data your AI assistant can access
- Secure integration: Works seamlessly with your existing AI coding environments without compromising security
- Private data handling: Your sensitive project information never leaves your network while still delivering enterprise-grade AI capabilities
The Azure DevOps MCP Server enables a two-step process:data retrievalandAI analysis.
The server provides secure access to your Azure DevOps data:
- Projects and teams: Organization structure and team information
- Work items: Assigned tasks, bugs, user stories, and their details
- Pull requests: Code review status, changes, and linked work items
- Builds and pipelines: CI/CD status, test results, and deployment information
- Test plans: Test cases, results, and coverage data
Your AI assistant processes this data to provide:
- Intelligent summaries: Sprint progress, team velocity, and project health
- Actionable insights: Risk identification, bottleneck analysis, and recommendations
- Context-aware responses: Answers that understand your specific projects and processes
Example: You ask "What's blocking our sprint?" → MCP Server retrieves your current work items → Your AI assistant analyzes the data and identifies specific blockers with recommendations.
To avoid using stale or cached data from previous queries, add to your prompt, "Do not use previously fetched data."
Access to your assigned work items and recent updates
Analyzes the data to help you prepare for standup
"Get my work items for project MyProject and help me prepare for standup - what did I complete, what am I working on, and what's blocked?"
WIQL query to retrieve your assigned work items, filtered by project and excluding removed items, ordered by most recent changes
Six work items including bugs, tasks, user stories, and features with their current states (Resolved, Done, Active, New, Blocked)
Access to backlog items, team data, and work item details
Helps analyze capacity and plan the sprint
"Get all work items in the product backlog for MyProject and prioritize them for a two-week sprint with three developers"
WIQL query to retrieve backlog items with story points, priority, and state information, ordered by priority and stack rank
Nine backlog items including epics, features, user stories, bugs, and tasks with story points and dependencies, plus team metrics (three developers, 14-day sprint, 60-point velocity)
Pull request details and linked work item information
Provides business context for technical changes
"Get details for pull request #67 and its linked work items and help me understand the business effect of these code changes"
REST API calls to retrieve pull request details and linked work item information with expanded relations
Pull request #67 (caching layer implementation, eight files changed, +156/-42 lines) and two linked work items (performance user story and settings bug)
This is a web browser that enables your coding agent, such as Claude Code, to visit websites on your behalf and assist you in identifying bugs or creating UI test cases.
All Azure MCP tools in a single server. The Azure MCP Server implements the MCP specification to create a seamless connection between AI agents and Azure services. Azure MCP Server can be used alone or with the GitHub Copilot for Azure extension in VS Code.

Official Azure DevOps MCP Server. Read and manage work items, repositories, pull requests, wiki, builds, releases, and project resources.
Enable AI assistance with the Azure DevOps MCP Server - Azure Boards | Microsoft Learn
Consider asking your AI assistant "Get my current sprint work items, then identify which ones might be at risk" and getting instant access to your actual Azure DevOps data. The Azure DevOps Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server provides your AI assistant with secure access to work items, pull requests, builds, test plans, and documentation from your Azure DevOps organization.
Azure DevOps provides remote and local MCP Servers. The remote server is an Azure DevOps-hosted endpoint that uses streamable HTTP transport, so you don't need to host or install the server. The local server runs on your machine and remains available for clients that can't authenticate to the remote server.
The remote Azure DevOps MCP Server uses Microsoft Entra authentication and requires your Azure DevOps organization to be backed by a Microsoft Entra tenant. Standalone Microsoft account (MSA) Azure DevOps organizations aren't supported with the remote server.
- The Azure DevOps MCP Server is free to use. However, standard Azure DevOps pricing applies to your organization and any data access through the service. AI assistant usage might have separate costs depending on your chosen AI platform.
- The Azure DevOps MCP Server requires your AI assistant to operate in agent-mode to access Azure DevOps data and perform operations.
Use theremote Azure DevOps MCP Serverwhen your environment supports it. The remote server is the recommended option because it requires no local installation and Azure DevOps manages its updates. Supported environments include Visual Studio Code with GitHub Copilot, Visual Studio, Microsoft Foundry, Microsoft Copilot Studio, GitHub Copilot CLI, and the GitHub Copilot app.
Some clients still require Microsoft Entra dynamic OAuth client registration, which isn't supported for the authentication flow needed by the remote MCP Server. Use the local server for clients such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex in those cases.
