How do I configure the server?

Configuration can be provided via command-line arguments (e.g., `--azure-org-url`, `--azure-token`, `--azure-project`), VSCode/Cursor IDE settings, environment variables (`.env` file), or default values. Command-line arguments take highest priority.

What Azure DevOps resources can I access?

The server provides tools for projects, work items (single or batch), repositories, pull requests (list, details, threads, code changes, file content), work item attachments and comments, pull request comments, and test plans/suites/cases.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `AZURE_DEVOPS_ORG_URL`, `AZURE_DEVOPS_TOKEN` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.
