The Azure DevOps MCP Server has recently entered public preview and is now accessible within Microsoft Foundry. This integration allows developers to leverage the capabilities of Azure DevOps for building AI-powered applications and agents.
Microsoft Foundry serves as a comprehensive platform designed for the development and management of AI applications at scale. It combines various functionalities such as model access, orchestration, evaluation, and deployment, all within a single environment.
Key features of Microsoft Foundry include:

To add the Azure DevOps MCP Server to an agent, users can follow these steps:
- Navigate to Add Tools > Catalog.
- Search for “Azure DevOps.”
- Select Azure DevOps MCP Server (preview) and click Create.
- Input the organization name and click Connect.
Once the tool is connected, users can begin utilizing Azure DevOps MCP Server tools. It is also possible to manage tool access by specifying a subset of available tools for the agent.
