# Azure DevOps

> Connect Azure DevOps to xpander and give agents its 27 actions: how to create the API key and connect it, and which actions to hold for approval.

<Badge color="blue">HTTP API connector</Badge>

An HTTP API described by an OpenAPI spec, not an MCP server. Calls go to `https://dev.azure.com` and carry a key in the `Authorization` header.

## What the skill can do

API connector: 27 actions, as they appear in the skill panel. 9 of them create, change or delete something in Azure DevOps; mark those under **These actions need approval** when you add the skill to an agent.

* **Pipeline orchestration** (7): Dev Ops Project Catalog Get Projects In Organization, Dev Ops Pipeline Orchestration Get Pipelines In Project, Dev Ops Pipeline Orchestration Get Pipeline By Id, Dev Ops Pipeline Orchestration Get Pipeline Runs By Pipeline Id, Dev Ops Pipeline Orchestration Create Pipeline Run By Pipeline Id, Dev Ops Pipeline Orchestration Get Pipeline Run By Ids, Dev Ops Pipeline Orchestration Get Pipeline Run Logs By Ids

## Connect Azure DevOps

In Xpander Chat, open the agent's settings, click **Add skill**, and search for **Azure DevOps**. The connect dialog asks for a connection name and whether the connection is for the **Organization** (one shared account) or **Personal** (your own account, so the agent acts with your permissions where systems allow). On an agent other people use, a personal connection runs their requests as you unless the binding requires each person's own sign-in; see [whose credential a shared agent uses](/use/agents/permissions#whose-credential-a-shared-agent-uses).

Azure DevOps connects with an API key. Create the key in Azure DevOps, paste it into the dialog, and click **Connect**. The key goes to the vault; the agent references it and never sees the value.

Calls go to `https://dev.azure.com`.

## Give an agent the Azure DevOps skill

Once Azure DevOps is connected, any agent you can edit may be given the skill: open the agent's settings, click **Add skill**, and choose **Azure DevOps**. Enable only the action groups the agent needs, and mark the actions that should wait for a named person's sign-off under **These actions need approval**. Which skills exist for your organization, and who may add them, is decided by your admins; see [Skills](/use/skills).
