mcp-azure-devops CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from Vortiago/mcp-azure-devops. It costs 1,878 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for an MCP Azure DevOps server, a program that lets AI assistants work with Azure DevOps data and actions through a standard tool connection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when maintaining features for work items, repositories, pipelines, pull requests, projects, or teams in that server.
Why use it?
They explain the project layout, supported Azure DevOps areas, and development expectations before code is changed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-azure-devops CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

MCP Azure DevOps Server Guide

This guide helps AI assistants implement and modify the MCP Azure DevOps server codebase effectively.

1. Purpose & Overview

This MCP server enables AI assistants to interact with Azure DevOps by:

  • Connecting to Azure DevOps services via REST API and Python SDK
  • Exposing Azure DevOps data (work items, repositories, pipelines, PRs)
  • Providing tools to create and modify Azure DevOps objects
  • Including prompts for common workflows
  • Using PAT authentication for secure interactions

3. Core Concepts

Azure DevOps & MCP Integration

This project bridges two systems:

  1. Azure DevOps Objects:

    • Work items (bugs, tasks, user stories, epics)
    • Repositories and branches
    • Pull requests and code reviews
    • Pipelines (build and release)
    • Projects and teams
  2. MCP Components:

    • Tools: Action performers that modify data (like POST/PUT/DELETE endpoints)
    • Prompts: Templates for guiding interactions

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
