npm start

The server will run over STDIO and can be integrated with compatible clients.

Testing

You can test the server using the Model Context Protocol Inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector

Project Structure

- index.js - Entry point; initializes and runs the MCP server.
- features/ - Directory for registering project and work item tools.

Scripts

- npm start - Start the MCP server.
- npm test - (Currently not implemented.)

Tools

- linkWorkItems — Link two Azure DevOps work items (e.g., parent-child, related, etc.).
- Input:
- sourceId (number/string): The ID of the source work item (e.g., the child in a parent-child link).
- targetId (number/string): The ID of the target work item (e.g., the parent in a parent-child link).
- linkType (string, optional): The type of link (default: System.LinkTypes.Hierarchy-Forward for parent-child).
- comment (string, optional): Optional comment for the link operation.
- Permissions: Requires permission to edit work items in the Azure DevOps project.
- Example:

    {

      "sourceId": 123,

      "targetId": 456,

      "linkType": "System.LinkTypes.Hierarchy-Forward"

    }

- unlinkWorkItems — Remove a link (e.g., parent-child, related) between two Azure DevOps work items.
- Input:
- sourceId (number/string): The ID of the source work item (the one holding the link).
- targetId (number/string): The ID of the target work item (the one being linked to).
- linkType (string, optional): The type of link to remove (default: System.LinkTypes.Hierarchy-Forward for parent-child).
- Permissions: Requires permission to edit work items in the Azure DevOps project.
- Example:

    {

      "sourceId": 123,
