Can I see if a build pipeline failed via the AI?

Yes! Use the `list_builds` tool and provide the Project ID. Your agent will retrieve the history of recent executions, including their final status (succeeded, failed, inProgress).

How do I list the Git repositories for a project?

Run the `list_repositories` query with your Project ID. The agent will return all Git repositories associated with that project in your Azure DevOps account.

Is it possible to see recent bugs or tasks assigned to a project?

Absolutely. Use the `list_work_items` tool. Your agent will retrieve a list of recent work items, including bugs, tasks, and stories, for the specified project.

Azure DevOps + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating Azure DevOps MCP Server with Windsurf.

How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
