Bring Ci Cd
to Windsurf
Learn how to connect Azure DevOps to Windsurf and start using 6 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Azure DevOps MCP Server?
Connect your Azure DevOps account to any AI agent and simplify how you manage your software development lifecycle, track work items, and monitor pipelines through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Project Oversight — List all projects in your organization and retrieve detailed metadata and configurations.
- Work Item Tracking — List and query recent tasks, bugs, and user stories to manage your team's backlog.
- Git Repository Control — Query all Git repositories within a project to monitor code storage.
- Pipeline Monitoring — List CI/CD pipelines and retrieve the history of recent build executions and statuses.
- Team Coordination — List project teams to understand organizational structure and distribution.
- Operational Status — Fetch real-time metadata for projects and work items directly via AI commands.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Azure DevOps Organization and Personal Access Token (PAT)
3. Start managing your DevOps ecosystem from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Developers & Engineers — quickly check pipeline statuses and verify work item details via simple AI queries.
- DevOps Specialists — monitor build history and manage repositories directly from the workspace.
- Product Owners — get instant bird's-eye views of work item progress and project health via the AI assistant.

How Vinkius secures
Azure DevOps for Windsurf
Every tool call from Windsurf to the Azure DevOps MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
