Azure DevOps now has a remote MCP server in preview

I was today looking into Microsoft Azure DevOps and the new announcement that they would bring remote MCP server support into the service. This is very exciting times, as Microsoft is adding MCP support to many of their products, but also the documentation site "Learning", something I blogged about earlier.

Now, what about MCP in Azure DevOps? Last May (2025), Microsoft made available the local MCP server (see the GitHub repo https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-mcp) and now, a remote MCP server is available. You can already do many things with it, including being able to ask your AI things like, "list all my builds since last week", "list all ADO projects I have access to", or "create a new Wiki page from …". Very nice!

A comprehensive list of all functions can be found in TOOLSET.md file (https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-mcp/blob/main/docs/TOOLSET.md).

The URL pattern for the new remote MCP use is:

https://mcp.dev.azure.com/{organization}

Supported clients include at least Microsoft's own GitHub Copilot (in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code) at this point, but many more will likely work soon.

Also note that Entra ID based authentication is needed, the MCP server fails to work with so-called standalone installation ("MSAs").
