How to use the official Devin MCP server for private and public repositories
The Devin MCP server provides programmatic access to Devin’s repository documentation and search capabilities for both private and public repositories. Unlike the DeepWiki MCP server, this server requires authentication and supports private repository access.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI apps to securely connect to MCP-compatible data sources and tools. You can think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications - a standardized way to connect AI apps to different services.
The Devin MCP server is an authenticated service that provides access to both public and private repositories.
