Things to check

Microsoft now recommends the hosted Remote MCP Server (https://mcp.dev.azure.com/{organization}, public preview) over the local server; local remains supported but future investment focuses on remote. Local install requires Node.js 20+. Permissions are bound to your Azure DevOps credentials/PAT scope, so sensitive operations depend on token grants.
