Create an Azure DevOps work item
Let your AI file Azure DevOps work items (bugs, tasks) the model never holds credentials for.
Create a work item (Bug by default) in an Azure DevOps project via the Boards REST API. The org, project, and work-item type are fixed at install; the PAT is the secret, entered in the browser as an HTTP Basic credential.
The credential never enters the model context: it lives in the FlurryPORT secret store, deliveries are signed server-side, and every send returns a receipt your agent can quote.
Install with your agent
npx flurryport mcp
Point your agent at the FlurryPORT MCP server (npx flurryport mcp) and ask it for the flurryport:azure-devops-workitem recipe. Works from AI clients that can run a local process: desktop apps and terminal agents. Web-only chat clients cannot reach a local MCP server; open a desktop client instead.
Tools your agent gains
flry_azure_devops_workitem- Create an Azure DevOps work item in the configured org/project. Input: title (required), description (optional), tags (optional, semicolon-separated).
Setup walkthrough
AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT: In Azure DevOps: User settings, Personal access tokens, New Token, scope Work Items (Read & write). The value to paste in the FlurryPORT secret page is the HTTP Basic credential, NOT the raw token: run `printf ':YOUR_PAT' | base64` and paste the result. The recipe sends it as `Authorization: Basic <value>`.

Transformation
[ { "op": "add", "path": "/fields/System.Title", "value": $body.title }, { "op": "add", "path": "/fields/System.Description", "value": ($exists($body.description) ? $body.description : "") }, { "op": "add", "path": "/fields/System.Tags", "value": ($exists($body.tags) ? $body.tags : "") } ]Delivery target
POST https://dev.azure.com/$install.org/$install.project/_apis/wit/workitems/$$install.type?api-version=7.1
Placeholders like $secrets.NAME resolve server-side at delivery, never in the agent.
