"The announcement appears in Microsoft's Azure DevOps blog, highlighting enhancements made following feedback from early adopters. With general availability, Microsoft notes improvements in authentication, authorization, and tooling. They've introduced domain-scoping for active tools to stay within client limits, added refinements to login flows, and tuned internal APIs based on preview insights.The MCP Server remains open source, and the official GitHub repo now includes expanded documentation, error handling tweaks, and a more comprehensive feature set."
"Microsoft frames this launch as a pivotal step in delivering "agentic AI" capabilities inside development environments. With MCP fully supported, Copilot (in agent mode) can ask or act on DevOps context directly from Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code - navigating backlog items, summarizing sprint status, creating or updating work items, or linking pull requests, without leaving the IDE. The shift to GA also signals Microsoft's confidence in this architecture as a foundation for future AI-native development tools."
The Azure DevOps MCP Server exited public preview and reached general availability in October 2025. The MCP Server runs locally or inside an organization's network to provide richer context to AI assistants like GitHub Copilot without exposing private data externally. It enables interaction with Azure DevOps artifacts including work items, pull requests, builds, test plans, and wikis. General availability adds improvements to authentication, authorization, domain-scoping for tools, refined login flows, and tuned internal APIs. The project remains open source with an updated GitHub repo containing expanded documentation, error handling adjustments, and broader feature coverage to support agentic AI workflows inside IDEs.
