devin-api-mcp

A single devin-api MCP server providing full Devin API coverage — manage sessions, knowledge, playbooks, secrets, schedules, and attachments programmatically from any MCP client — plus the read-only DeepWiki documentation tools (ask_question, read_wiki_structure, read_wiki_contents).

Unlike the hosted Devin MCP, which routes all operational tools through the v3 API (rejecting personal apk_ keys, so sessions can't be attributed to the dispatching user), this server backs the core tools with the v1 API and your personal key — sessions show up in your Devin dashboard.

Quickstart

claude mcp add -s user -e DEVIN_PERSONAL_API_KEY=<your-personal-key> -- devin-api npx -y -p @jsklan/devin-api-mcp devin-api

Get your personal key (apk_user_ prefix) from app.devin.ai → Settings → API Keys. Optionally add -e DEVIN_SERVICE_API_KEY=<org-service-key> (cog_ prefix, from org settings) to also enable the v3 organization tools (schedules, insights, archive, message history).

The server documents itself

Full setup, credential, and configuration docs are built into the server — no need to keep this README open:

• Installed with no keys at all, the server starts in setup mode: it exposes a single get_setup_docs tool and instructs the connected agent to walk you through obtaining and configuring credentials. So the zero-knowledge onboarding path is just: install, connect, ask your agent to set it up.
• With keys configured, get_setup_docs remains available for reference (adding the second key, migrating configs, other MCP clients, plugin install).

To install as a Claude Code plugin instead: /plugin → Marketplaces → add jsklan/devin-api-mcp → install devin-api (keys via environment variables, same as above).

What you get

Which tools are registered depends on which keys are set; tools whose backing key is absent are simply not registered — nothing shows up broken.

• Personal key (DEVIN_PERSONAL_API_KEY, apk_user_; DEVIN_API_KEY accepted as fallback) — sessions (create/list/get/message/gather/terminate/tag), knowledge, playbooks, secrets, attachment upload, plus the three DeepWiki docs tools (proxied to mcp.devin.ai with your key, so private repos work).
• Service key (DEVIN_SERVICE_API_KEY, cog_) — the v3-exclusive organization tools: schedules, session insights, archive/delete, paginated message history, tag management, attachment download.
• Attribution rule: with both keys, capabilities that exist in both APIs stay backed by v1 + your personal key so sessions remain user-attributed; the service key only adds its exclusives.

Run get_setup_docs (or read src/setup-docs.ts) for the full breakdown.

Deprecated aliases

• deepwiki (standalone docs-only proxy server) — merged into devin-api in 1.1.0. The bin still works but prints a deprecation warning; remove the separate deepwiki entry from your MCP config.
• devin-api-v1 / devin-api-v3 — unified into devin-api in 1.0.0; both aliases launch the unified server.

Tool names are unchanged in both migrations, so existing prompts and automations keep working. Aliases will be removed in a future major version.

API Coverage

• The v1 tool set wraps the Devin REST API v1.
• The v3 tool set wraps the Devin REST API v3 organization endpoints (org_id auto-discovered at startup via /v3/self). Enterprise (/v3/enterprise/...) and beta (/v3beta1/...) endpoints are intentionally excluded.
• The DeepWiki tools proxy to the upstream Devin MCP server (DEEPWIKI_UPSTREAM_URL, default https://mcp.devin.ai/mcp; optional DEVIN_ORG_ID header).
