+
+![Configuring MCP servers in Claude Desktop](../docs/media/claude-desktop-getting-started-1.png)
+
+Open the configuration file in your preferred editor (e.g., VS Code) and add the following JSON:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "ado": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "@azure-devops/mcp", "{Contoso}"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Replace `{Contoso}` with your Azure DevOps organization name. Save the file and perform a hard restart of the Claude app.
+
+Start a new chat, then click the **Search and Tools** icon. The `ado` toolset should now be available.
