Can this server search wikis outside Azure DevOps?

No, it is scoped specifically to the wiki of the configured Azure DevOps organization and project, and is not a general web search tool.

How do I configure the organization and project for this server?

You set the `ORG` and `PROJECT` environment variables in the MCP server configuration; the defaults are "microsoft" and "Edge" respectively.

Overview

Azure Wiki Search MCP Server

This MCP server exposes two tools, search_wiki and get_wiki_by_path, letting an AI assistant like GitHub Copilot Chat search and retrieve content from an Azure DevOps wiki directly from VS Code. Use it when your AI assistant needs to look up or fetch documentation from your team's Azure DevOps wiki. It only covers Azure DevOps wikis, scoped to the organization and project set in its configuration.

What it does

The Azure Wiki Search Server is an MCP server implementing the MCP specification so AI agents (such as GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code) can search an Azure wiki and retrieve wiki content directly. It exposes two tools: search_wiki, which searches the Edge Wiki to find material related to a query, and get_wiki_by_path, which fetches wiki content for a given path.

When to use - and when NOT to

Use it when an AI coding assistant needs to look up documentation stored in an Azure DevOps wiki (for example, an internal Edge/Microsoft-org wiki) without leaving the editor - searching for relevant pages by keyword or pulling a specific page's content by its path. It is not a general web search tool and does not cover wikis outside Azure DevOps; it is scoped specifically to the wiki of the configured organization and project.

Inputs and outputs

Input is a search query (for search_wiki) or a wiki path (for get_wiki_by_path). Output is the matching wiki search results or the raw wiki page content for the requested path.

How to install

Requires VS Code with the GitHub Copilot and GitHub Copilot Chat extensions, Python 3.10 or higher, and uv. Clone the repository, create and activate a virtual environment with uv venv, then register the server in VS Code's user settings (JSON) or a workspace .vscode/mcp.json file:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "edge_wiki": {
        "command": "uv",
        "args": [
            "--directory",
            "<absolute path to your cloned folder>",
            "run",
            "src/edge_wiki.py"
        ],
        "env": {
            "ORG": "Your organization, default is microsoft",
            "PROJECT": "Your project, default is Edge"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Who it's for

Developers using GitHub Copilot Chat (or another MCP-compatible AI assistant) in VS Code who need quick, in-editor access to their team's Azure DevOps wiki documentation.
