Azure DevOps MCP Servers
Azure DevOps MCP servers provide interfaces for LLMs to interact with Azure DevOps services, including repos, pipelines, boards, and artifacts. These servers enable AI models to manage development workflows and automate DevOps processes within the Azure ecosystem.
Core Components
Pipeline Management Server
class AzureDevOpsServer extends MCPServer {
capabilities = {
tools: {
'createPipeline': async (params) => {
// Create new pipeline definition
},
'triggerBuild': async (params) => {
// Trigger pipeline execution
},
'checkStatus': async (params) => {
// Check pipeline/build status
}
},
resources: {
'pipelineHistory': async () => {
// Get pipeline execution history
}
}
}
}
Implementation Examples
Work Item Management
class WorkItemManager extends MCPServer {
async initialize() {
return {
tools: {
'createItem': this.createWorkItem,
'updateStatus': this.updateWorkItemStatus,
'linkItems': this.createWorkItemLinks
}
};
}
private async createWorkItem({ type, title, description }) {
// Implement work item creation
}
}
