FAQPage Schema
How do I automate work item management in Azure DevOps using REST APIs?

Azure DevOps REST APIs enable programmatic creation, reading, updating, and deletion of work items through authenticated PAT or OAuth tokens. This Skill wraps those operations with MCP tool prefixes, mapping requests to specific endpoints and handling API versioning (7.2 and previews) automatically, so you can automate triage and bulk updates without manual portal interaction.

Can I manage pipelines and repositories programmatically in Azure DevOps?

Yes. This Skill exposes REST API operations for both Azure Pipelines and Azure Repos, allowing you to create, configure, and query pipelines and git repositories via direct API calls or MCP-powered tools, supporting CRUD operations and linked resource management across your DevOps infrastructure.

What authentication does Azure DevOps REST API automation require?

Azure DevOps REST APIs require either a Personal Access Token (PAT) or OAuth scopes with appropriate permissions. This Skill handles base64 encoding and API versioning details, so you provide credentials once and execute operations across work items, pipelines, repos, test plans, and wikis without re-authentication per request.

How do I query and link work items across Azure DevOps projects?

This Skill provides REST API operations to read work items with filters, update their state and fields, and establish links between items across projects. Combined with curl and jq for response parsing, you can build automation that queries by keyword or ID and establishes parent-child or related-item relationships programmatically.

Does this support Azure DevOps search and test plan operations?

Yes. Beyond work items, pipelines, and repos, this Skill includes REST API operations for Azure DevOps Search (full-text queries across work items and code) and Test Plans (test case and test run management), enabling comprehensive DevOps resource automation from a single interface.
