Overview
Azure DevOps MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that provides tools for interacting with Azure DevOps services through AI assistants.
To use the server, configure it with your Azure DevOps organization and personal access token, then send requests to the server to perform operations on Azure DevOps entities like projects, repositories, and work items.
- Entity-based architecture for intuitive organization of tools - Comprehensive error handling with user-friendly messages - Cursor-based pagination for efficient data retrieval - Detailed documentation for each tool and operation
- Managing Azure DevOps projects and repositories.
- Automating work item creation and management.
- Integrating Azure DevOps operations into AI-driven applications.

Use these steps to connect Azure DevOps MCP Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.
Cursor
Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.
.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"ado-mcp-aaronsb": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-ado-mcp-aaronsb"
]
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

"mcpServers": {
"ado-mcp-aaronsb": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-ado-mcp-aaronsb"
]
}
}
}Claude Code
Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.
.mcp.json (project root)
{
"mcpServers": {
"ado-mcp-aaronsb": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-ado-mcp-aaronsb"
]
}
}
}VS Code (Copilot)
Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.
.vscode/mcp.json
