Microsoft Releases Azure DevOps Model Context Provider (MCP) Server in Public Preview: It enables GitHub Copilot to access and interact with Azure DevOps project data using natural language prompts in developer environments like VS Code.
- Function and Features: Acts as a local bridge between GitHub Copilot in Agent Mode and Azure DevOps instance, making structured project data available as context. Allows developers to query, create, and update project information conversationally without leaving the IDE. Initial version provides functionality for core components like listing projects, repositories, etc., and creating/editing work items.
- Installation and Setup: Installed as a Node.js service and integrates with Copilot through a configuration file and Azure CLI authentication. Developers install from the official GitHub repository, sign in using Azure CLI, configure the local mcp.json file, and start the service.
- Preview Limitations: Currently limited to Azure DevOps Services. On-premises Azure DevOps Server is not supported. Early adopters can share feedback and feature requests via GitHub Issues.
- Separate MCP Server for Azure Resource Queries: Launched in May, allows developers to retrieve information about services like Key Vault, Cosmos DB, and Storage Accounts using natural language. The Azure DevOps MCP Server builds on the same approach.
- Documentation and Availability: Documentation, setup guidance, and source code are available on GitHub. The preview is open to developers using Azure DevOps Services and GitHub Copilot Business or Enterprise licences.
