Add Azuredevops

Install Add Azuredevops

Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.

$npx skills add microsoft/power-platform-skills --skill add-azuredevops

The 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

  1. 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.
