The remote server is still labelled public preview, and Claude Code and Cursor need a custom Entra app registration with admin consent before they can use it.\n\n**Salesforce DX MCP Server.** Tools pass org usernames, never tokens, and `--orgs` limits which authorised orgs the server can reach. 88 tools; Salesforce's README warns that enabling all of them overwhelms the context.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Azure DevOps MCP Server\n\n1. Put the organisation in the URL (`https://mcp.dev.azure.com/{organization}`). Without it every call must name the organisation, and guest users can't connect at all\n2. Send `X-MCP-Readonly: true` for read tasks and `X-MCP-Toolsets: repos,wit` to cut the tool list. Don't combine `X-MCP-Toolsets` with `X-MCP-Tools`\n3. Name the project in each call. A missing project is the error the vendor reports most often\n4. For headless runs use the local package with `--authentication envvar` and a token in `ADO_MCP_AUTH_TOKEN`. The default interactive sign-in fails without a browser\n5. On HTTP 429 wait for `Retry-After`. Azure DevOps delays or blocks a user above 200 TSTUs in a sliding five-minute window\n\n### Salesforce DX MCP Server\n\n1. Start with `--toolsets orgs,metadata,data` and add `testing` or `devops` only when the task needs them\n2. Pass explicit aliases to `--orgs`; `DEFAULT_TARGET_ORG` follows whatever the default org is in the working directory at call time\n3. Call `get_username` before any org tool instead of guessing `usernameOrAlias`, and send `directory` as an absolute path\n4. Put `LIMIT` in every SOQL query; the tool doesn't cap rows\n5. For business records like contacts or opportunities this is the wrong server; use the platform APIs behind an integration user\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Azure DevOps MCP Server or Salesforce DX MCP Server?\n\nAzure DevOps MCP Server scores 66.3 (B) on agent readiness against Salesforce DX MCP Server's 59.5 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Salesforce DX MCP Server leads on schema \u0026 documentation and payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Azure DevOps MCP Server and Salesforce DX MCP Server need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Azure DevOps MCP Server and Salesforce DX MCP Server without installing anything?\n\nAzure DevOps MCP Server has a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.dev.azure.com/{organization}. Salesforce DX MCP Server runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed.\n\n### Are Azure DevOps MCP Server and Salesforce DX MCP Server open source?\n\nYes. Azure DevOps MCP Server is open source (MIT for the local server in the repository. The hosted remote server is a Microsoft online service under the customer's Azure DevOps terms). Salesforce DX MCP Server is open source (Apache-2.0).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/azure-devops-mcp-vs-salesforce-dx-mcp.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/azure-devops-mcp-vs-salesforce-dx-mcp.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"azure-devops-mcp\", \"b\": \"salesforce-dx-mcp\"}`.
