What is devops-mcp CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for DevOps MCP, a Node.js and TypeScript server that connects Claude Code to Azure DevOps, Microsoft's service for software projects and delivery work.

Setting up the server with an organization URL, project name, and personal access token, then using its Azure DevOps integration from Claude Code.

They explain how to install the server, choose the Azure DevOps project, and authenticate it so agents can work with the correct organization and repository context.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.04203	$0.04203
Opus 5.5	$0.01681	$0.01681
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00841	$0.00841
Haiku 4.5	$0.00420	$0.00420

Security

Grade A, and why

devops-mcp 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 2mo 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.
