Installation

Step 1: Install Azure Wiki Search

Configuration

Step 2: Configure Amp

1. Locate your configuration file:

2. Add server configuration:

Configure MCP servers in VS Code/Cursor settings.json:

```json
{
  "amp.mcpServers": {
    "playwright": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@playwright/mcp@latest", "--headless", "--isolated"]
    },
    "semgrep": {
      "url": "https://mcp.semgrep.ai/mcp"
    },
    "sourcegraph": {
      "url": "${SRC_ENDPOINT}/.api/mcp/v1",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "token ${SRC_ACCESS_TOKEN}"
      }
    },
    "linear": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.linear.app/sse"]
    }
  }
}

Or add servers via CLI:

# Add HTTP-based server
amp mcp add sourcegraph --header "Authorization=token your-token" https://sourcegraph.example.com/.api/mcp/v1

# Add SSE-based server
amp mcp add linear https://mcp.linear.app/sse

# OAuth login for authenticated servers
amp mcp oauth login my-server \
  --server-url https://example.com/.api/mcp/v1 \
  --client-id your-client-id \
  --client-secret your-client-secret \
  --scopes "openid,profile,email"

3. **Restart Amp**

Completely quit and restart Amp to load the new configuration.

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### Authentication Failed

**Symptoms:** Access denied to wiki, Unauthorized errors, PAT token rejected

**Cause:** Missing or invalid Azure DevOps Personal Access Token

**Solution:**
- Generate PAT in Azure DevOps with Wiki read permissions

- Verify PAT has access to specified organization/project
- Check PAT expiration date

#### Organization/Project Not Found

**Symptoms:** Project not found errors, Organization does not exist

**Cause:** Invalid ORG or PROJECT configuration

**Solution:**
- Verify organization name matches Azure DevOps URL
- Confirm project exists and is accessible
- Check spelling and case sensitivity
- Use --org and --project parameters to override defaults

#### Wiki Content Not Found

**Symptoms:** No search results, Wiki path not found, Empty responses

**Cause:** Wiki not configured or content not available

**Solution:**
- Verify project has Wiki enabled
- Check wiki content exists in specified project
- Confirm search terms match available content
- Try broader search queries initially

#### uv Environment Issues

**Symptoms:** Command not found, Package installation fails, Virtual env errors

**Cause:** uv not installed or virtual environment not activated

**Solution:**
- Install uv: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
- Activate virtual environment before running
- Ensure Python 3.10+ is available
- Reinstall dependencies if corruption occurred

#### MCP Server Not Connecting

**Symptoms:** Server not appearing in tools, Connection timeout, Authentication errors

**Cause:** Invalid configuration, missing credentials, or network issues

**Solution:**
- Verify server URL and command are correct
- Check environment variables are set properly
- For OAuth servers, run amp mcp oauth login
- Review amp logs for error messages

#### Tool Execution Fails

**Symptoms:** MCP tools available but not working, Error messages during execution

**Cause:** Server dependencies missing or permission issues

**Solution:**
- Verify required environment variables are configured
- Check amp.permissions settings for tool restrictions
- Test MCP server independently
- Review server-specific documentation

#### Permission Denied

**Symptoms:** Tool blocked by permission system, Ask prompts for every action

**Cause:** Permission rules restricting MCP tool usage

**Solution:**
- Review amp.permissions in settings.json
- Add allow rules for trusted MCP servers
- Use amp permissions edit to modify rules
