Devin MCP

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.

​

What is MCP?

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.

​
