About MCP Azure DevOps Server

What is MCP Azure DevOps Server: AI-Driven Workflows via Python SDK?

Delve into the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to seamlessly bridge AI assistants with Azure DevOps services. This innovative tool empowers natural language interactions with Azure DevOps REST APIs, enabling AI systems like Claude to execute complex workflows without manual intervention. Think of it as an intelligent translator that converts human requests into precise API commands.

How to Use MCP Azure DevOps Server: AI-Driven Workflows via Python SDK?

Initialization is straightforward but critical. First, ensure Python 3.9+ and an Azure DevOps account with permissions. Clone the repository and install dependencies in development mode using pip. Configure your Personal Access Token (PAT) and organization URL in the .env file. Launch the server via the MCP dev command, and integrate with tools like Claude Desktop for real-world AI workflows. Pro tip: Always validate PAT scopes before deployment.

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 using WIQL

Planned features:

  • Work Item Management : Create and update work items
  • 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

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.9+
  • Azure DevOps account with appropriate permissions
  • Personal Access Token (PAT) with necessary scopes for Azure DevOps API access

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-username/mcp-azure-devops.git
cd mcp-azure-devops

# Install in development mode
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Install from PyPi
pip install mcp_azure_devops

Configuration

Create a .env file in the project root with the following variables:

AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT=your_personal_access_token
AZURE_DEVOPS_ORGANIZATION_URL=https://your-organization.visualstudio.com or https://dev.azure.com/your-organisation

Note: Make sure to provide the full URL to your Azure DevOps organization.
