Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

[!WARNING] We recently completed a full tool consolidation that includes renaming of existing tools. Please see the Toolset documentation for the complete list of new tool names. If this is a breaking change for your agents or skills, you can temporarily pin the version to @azure-devops/[email protected]

This project gives AI agents access to Azure DevOps through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Use the hosted remote server for the simplest setup, or run the local server when you need a stdio connection.
