Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00062 | $0.01009 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00404 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00202 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00101 |
Grade B, and why
install-azure-devops-mcp scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
An env file is also written to `~/.env.mcp-azure-devops` (global, chmod 600). How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Adds Azure DevOps access to your agent: work items, repos, branches, PRs, pipelines, test plans, sprints, wikis. Repository: https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-mcp
Arguments
All optional — anything not passed is asked in Step 1.
| Token | Meaning |
|---|---|
claude / copilot |
which agent to configure |
| any other bare token | Azure DevOps organization name (e.g. mycompany) |
The PAT is never taken as an argument — it is collected in the terminal (Step 2).
Quick Start
Collect parameters, then run the bundled script. The PAT must be collected via terminal — never via a questions tool.
Step 1 — Collect parameters
Use vscode_askQuestions with:
- agent — which agent to configure
- options:
claude,copilot
- options:
- org — Azure DevOps organization name (e.g.
mycompany)
Step 2 — Run the installer
Find this skill's directory from the SKILL.md path, then run:
PROJECT_ROOT="<workspace-root>" \
bash .agent-settings/skills/tools/install-azure-devops-mcp/scripts/install.sh \
--agent <agent> \
--org <org>
- Set
PROJECT_ROOTto the user's current workspace folder - If
~/.env.mcp-azure-devopsalready exists, the script detects it and asks whether to reuse the stored PAT — no re-entry needed - PAT is always prompted interactively in the terminal (hidden input) when no existing file is found
- The script merges into any existing config file; it will not overwrite other servers
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
