Install Add Azuredevops
Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.
npx skills add microsoft/power-platform-skills --skill add-azuredevopsThe open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.
01
Install it
Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.
02
Ask naturally
Describe the task. Your agent loads add-azuredevops when the request matches its description.
03
Name it if needed
If it does not trigger, say “use the add-azuredevops skill”. In Codex, type $add-azuredevops.

Add Azure DevOps
Workflow
- Check Memory Bank → 2. Add Connector → 3. Apply HttpRequest Fix → 4. Configure → 5. Build → 6. Update Memory Bank
Step 1: Check Memory Bank
Check for memory-bank.md per shared-instructions.md.
Step 2: Add Connector
Get the connection as described in connector-reference.md. The Azure DevOps connector's ID is shared_visualstudioteamservices.
CLI 1.3.0+ (PA_INLINE_CONNECTIONS=yes): tell the user that adding Azure DevOps may create a connection with their account, then run the add without -c and handle the result with the outcome table in connector-reference.md:
pa app add data-source --connector shared_visualstudioteamservices --non-interactive
Older CLIs: run /list-connections to find the Azure DevOps connection ID (if none exists, create one with pa connection create as described in connector-reference.md), then:
pa app add data-source --connector shared_visualstudioteamservices -c <connection-id>
Step 3: Apply HttpRequest Fix (Required)
The generated code has a known issue: the HttpRequest method uses parameters as the parameter name, but the API expects body. Rename parameters to body in these 3 files:
Use the Edit tool to rename parameters to body in each file:
1. src/generated/services/AzureDevOpsService.ts:
Find the HttpRequest method. Rename the parameter and its usage:
// BEFORE (generated):
async HttpRequest(parameters: any) {
const params = { parameters: parameters, ... };
// AFTER (fixed):
async HttpRequest(body: any) {
const params = { body: body, ... };
2. .power/appschemas/dataSourceInfo.ts:
Find the visualstudioteamservices → HttpRequest → parameters section. Rename the property key:
// BEFORE (generated):
HttpRequest: {
parameters: {
parameters: { ... }
// AFTER (fixed):
HttpRequest: {
parameters: {
body: { ... }
3. .power/schemas/visualstudioteamservices/visualstudioteamservices.Schema.json:
Find the /{connectionId}/httprequest → post → parameters array. Change the name field:
// BEFORE (generated):
{ "name": "parameters", "in": "body", ... }
// AFTER (fixed):
{ "name": "body", "in": "body", ... }
Step 4: Configure
Ask the user what Azure DevOps operations they need (query work items, create items, trigger pipelines, etc.).
HttpRequest -- make arbitrary ADO REST API calls:
await AzureDevOpsService.HttpRequest({
Uri: "https://dev.azure.com/{org}/{project}/_apis/wit/wiql?api-version=7.2",
Method: "POST",
Body: JSON.stringify({
query:
"SELECT [System.Id], [System.Title] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject] = @project"
})
});
Docs: Azure DevOps REST API
Use Grep to find specific methods in src/generated/services/AzureDevOpsService.ts (generated files can be very large -- see connector-reference.md).
Step 5: Build
npm run build
Fix TypeScript errors before proceeding. Do NOT deploy yet.
Step 6: Update Memory Bank
Update memory-bank.md with: connector added, HttpRequest fix applied, build status.
