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

Install

Download ado-lens-0.9.2.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-0.9.2.zip.sha256.

Changes

Fixes and additions from testing 0.9 on a real project.

  • ado_create: fields with a default of the process (Value Area, Severity, Triage…) and fields Azure DevOps fills
    itself (Area ID, Iteration ID, State, Work Item Type) are no longer asked for - the rule check of 0.9.0 took the
    system rules of the process for fields to give. A rule "required while State was empty" is checked as "on create"
    instead of ending in a 400 from Azure DevOps.
  • ado_fields type=<type>: fields required by rules are named as REQUIRED, and fields that are required but filled by
    Azure DevOps say so.
  • ado_trace much faster on items with many pull requests: the files of a PR come from its last iteration instead of
    a diff of its merge commit, merge commits of linked PRs are not read twice, a completed PR into a branch answers
    "is it there" without asking, and only the newest change of each source -> target pair is checked. Reading the
    changes gets half of the time, so builds and deployments are still read.
  • ado_trace with no code linked looks for configuration words in every text field of the item and its tasks.
  • ado_sprint: a "Done" state that the process puts in the Resolved category counts as done.
  • ado_work_item: names of up to 40 linked releases (was 10); a release deleted by retention or not readable says so.
  • Numbered lists keep their numbering (<ol start="3">).
  • ado_pr_update: update adds reviewers, requiredReviewers (on create and update) makes them required,
    autocomplete (merge strategy, delete source branch, text = merge message) and cancel_autocomplete.
  • A parameter a tool does not have is reported with the tool's parameters instead of being dropped (a conversation
    started before an update still sees the old tool descriptions).
