ADO Lens for Azure DevOps: work items, boards, wiki, Git and TFVC served to Claude (Desktop and Code) over MCP.

Install

Download ado-lens-0.9.0.zip, unzip it and run in a regular (non-admin) PowerShell:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\ado-lens\install.ps1

Self-contained build - no .NET required on the target machine. Already installed? Run install.ps1 from this
package: settings, PATs and the local metadata are kept. The SHA-256 of the package is in ado-lens-0.9.0.zip.sha256.

Changes

Improvements from testing on a real project.

  • ado_pr_update action=update: change the title or description of a pull request and link work items to it after it
    was created (branch policies often require a linked work item), instead of abandoning it and opening a new one.
  • People are found by name, e-mail or a display name with a company suffix ("Anna Nowak (Contoso)"); when the identity
    search finds nobody, the people picker of the web is asked too.
  • Fields required by rules of an inherited process ("required when moving to Resolved") are checked before writing
    and listed in ado_fields type=<type>, instead of a 400 from Azure DevOps.
  • ado_sprint detail=full: who has what - open items, tasks and hours left per person.
  • ado_file on a table, table extension, view or map: a skeleton of properties, fields (type, label, mandatory),
    indexes, relations and field groups instead of only the methods.
  • ado_work_item: links to release stages name the release, the stage, its status and date; commit links give the
    full commit id.
  • ado_trace: with no code linked, an item that speaks of configuration (ER, parameters, setup…) is reported as a
    probable change in the system's setup that can be checked only there.
