Azure DevOps & Visual Studio

ThinkReview seamlessly integrates with Azure DevOps (formerly Visual Studio Team Services), bringing AI-powered code reviews directly into your pull requests.

Compatibility

ThinkReview works with all modern Azure DevOps environments:

  • Azure DevOps Services (Cloud): Hosted at dev.azure.com or *.visualstudio.com.

  • Azure DevOps Server (On-Premises): Self-hosted (formerly TFS) with custom domains (e.g., tfs.company.com).

Whether your organization uses the latest URL format or the legacy https://{org}.visualstudio.com, the ThinkReview extension will automatically detect your pull requests and inject the review sidebar.

Setup: Personal Access Token (PAT)

To read code changes from Azure DevOps, the extension requires a Personal Access Token (PAT). This token stays locally in your browser and is only used to fetch the code diff for analysis.

How to add your token:


  • Generate a PAT in Azure DevOps:

    • - Go to User settings (top right) > Personal access tokens.
    - Click + New Token.
    - Name it "ThinkReview".
    - Give it Read access to Code.
    - Copy the token.
  • Add to Extension:

    • - Click the ThinkReview extension icon in your browser toolbar.
    - Go to Settings.
    - Locate the Azure DevOps section.
    - Paste your Personal Access Token and click Save.

    Using ThinkReview in Azure DevOps

    Once configured, the AI Review button will appear on the bottom left of any Pull Request page in Azure DevOps.

  • Navigate to an active Pull Request.

  • Click the AI Review button on the bottom left of the page.

  • The AI will analyze the diff and provide suggestions, security checks, and best practices directly within the Azure DevOps interface.
