Azure DevOps

Full Azure DevOps integration using OAuth or PAT authentication and REST API v7.1.

First-Time Setup

Option 1: OAuth (Recommended)

Login with OAuth device code flow (shows "Visual Studio Code" prompt):

python scripts/auth.py login --org MyOrganization

Follow the URL and enter the device code to authorize. Tokens auto-refresh.

Option 2: PAT

Login with a Personal Access Token:

python scripts/auth.py login --org MyOrganization --pat YOUR_PAT

Create a PAT at https://dev.azure.com/{org}/_usersSettings/tokens with these scopes:

• Work Items: Read & Write
• Code: Read & Write (for repos/PRs)
• Build: Read & Execute (for pipelines)
• Wiki: Read & Write
• Test Management: Read & Write
• Advanced Security: Read (for security alerts)
• Project and Team: Read
• Identity: Read (for user search)

Common Commands

Check authentication status:

python scripts/auth.py status

Logout:

python scripts/auth.py logout
