Use when the user wants to connect to Azure DevOps — query Boards work items with WIQL, read PRs, inspect pipeline runs, create or update work items and wiki pages, or set up ADO auth. The connector — not security tradecraft.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Azure DevOps Connector for Azure DevOps (Boards, Repos, Pipelines, Wiki, Test Plans) via Microsoft's official MCP server. The agent sees the enabled tool surface (~76 tools on the shipped domains) once it loads — this skill covers auth, the domain / toolset model, WIQL, and the idioms. Security triage methodology — dedup, severity, SLA, owner inference — is deliberately out of scope; pair this with whichever triage capability your workflow uses. ## Auth The manifest pins `--authentication azcli`, so the MCP **delegates to your existing Azure CLI session** — no token to paste, no per-call browser prompt. 1. Install Azure CLI: <https://learn.microsoft.com/cli/azure/install-azure-cli>. 2. `az login` with an account that can reach the target ADO org. 3. Set `ADO_ORG` (the org **name**, e.g. `contoso`, not the URL) in the **secrets screen** (`/secrets` or `F7`) or your launching shell. Optionally `ADO_PROJECT` / `ADO_TEAM` — when a tool needs a project or team and the call didn't name one, the server elicits a picker; these answer it up front. Needs the pinned `@azure-devops/mcp` ≥ 2.8.0; they are inert on older builds. …

How to install
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/azure-devops@sha256:66c1aff09a7d4f6eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.e04a3ae, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
