Add the server configuration to your Cline MCP settings file:

• For VSCode extension: %APPDATA%/Code/User/globalStorage/rooveterinaryinc.roo-cline/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json
• For Claude desktop app: %LOCALAPPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add the following configuration to the mcpServers object:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "azure-devops": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/azure-devops-server/build/index.js"],

        "AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT": "your-personal-access-token",
        "AZURE_DEVOPS_PROJECT": "your-project-name"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

   • Ensure the PAT has all necessary scopes
   • Double-check the organization and project names

3. For other issues:

   • Run the inspector tool to verify the server is working correctly
   • Check the server logs for any error messages
