Hi,

Can we please have tools support to create and update wiki pages.

Thanks!

@danielp370-msft can you please provide a little more context? What are you trying to do with MCP Server to create and update wiki pages?

@danhellem Hi Dan, I simply want to be able to use MCP tools to push content (a content string containing markdown) to an ADO wiki. For example, create a new page at /Project_Updates/my_update.md . The current tools allow us to search and get wiki pages, but we can't create or modify wiki content (unless I missed it). I have an agent and a set of prompts for managing wiki content. It works great in that it can use the tools to explore the wiki, but it has no way of manipulating content. I also have similar prompt workflows for managing work items and those work well, being able to manipulate and not just search, so hoping for more symmetry with the rest of the tool set.

My workaround for now is to have the agent write changes via a git clone of the wiki, and then check it stuck via the existing ADO MCP calls.

@danielp370-msft okay, I will take a look at this and see if we can't do something.

This is a write operation which could potentially leave some mess in automated workflows. It's best if we first introduce a global option which will control if we work in read-only (safe) or write mode. It should fallback to read-only so that write must be set if someone knows what they are doing. @danhellem

Agree with @danielp370-msft I want to be able to get copilot to review some of my repo artifacts and update wiki pages with the related documentation. For example, it reviews an SQL view and I then ask it to create a mermaid diagram based on the view to show all the dependencies and update the related wiki documentation page for this view.
