Devbox MCP
microsoft · MCP server
Dev Box MCP gives your AI assistant control of Microsoft Dev Box through natural language. Your agent can list, create and delete Dev Boxes across projects, start, stop, restart and repair them, get a remote connection and view the pools in a project. It can manage scheduled actions, validate and apply customisation tasks, read their logs, install packages or run commands on a Dev Box and change its theme. Sign-in uses your Azure credentials, including Windows single sign-on.

Not claimed by its maker.
Why it's useful
You can manage Dev Boxes, schedules and customisations by talking to your agent instead of working through each project and Dev Box yourself.
What you could do with it
- Ask your agent to list your Dev Boxes across all projects and show the details of one of them.
- Have your agent start, stop or restart a Dev Box, or run a repair on it.
- Ask your agent to install a package or run a command on a Dev Box and show you the task log.
Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.
Maintenance
Not measuredNo release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.
Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured
- Licence and provenance
- finding
- no LICENCE file at the root (.)
Published because it was found. A finding is information about where the limits are, not a verdict that the software is unsafe.
What this does not cover
- Everything. Treat it as you would software from anywhere else.

Static scanned
- What it establishes
- Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
- What it does not
- How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
- Exactly what was read
- Version 0.0.3-alpha.4, the file with digest sha512-kn1YVyzsOfMtFmi/zwo+JP3Hv/jIZRanpHJITbfUXIQSO+vGovT8kRzrh4qIfZr61R1fdVjryx0vqnBPKZfI1A==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
- Authentication
- Runs locally. No hosted endpoint is listed for this package. You run it on your own machine, so there is no endpoint of ours to authenticate against.
Adding it

No build provenance published. The repository above is the one the publisher declared, and nothing links it to the package you would install. That is not a mark against this listing, since most packages are published this way, but it is a check nobody can run.
The badge, if this is your listing
It renders the current rung (static scanned) and links back here, where what that does and does not establish is one click away. It updates itself as the evidence deepens.
