Native integrations cover GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira, Linear, PagerDuty and Pylon, and MCP connects Devin to hundreds of external tools and data sources, including monitoring, databases and documentation systems.

Dynamic workflows are Python scripts Devin writes and runs to orchestrate a team of Devin agents, deciding which agents run in what order, fanning items through stages in parallel on separate VMs and passing structured results from one stage to the next. Devin also delegates large tasks to managed Devins, each in its own VM.

Connected repositories are indexed from the DeepWiki settings page into wikis with architecture diagrams, source links and summaries, kept current and searchable, and Ask Devin uses them with code search to find context in the customer's code.

Local Hands lets a cloud Devin session run commands and edit files on the user's own computer only with the user's approval for each tool call. After a pull request Devin offers to test the app and waits for a click unless pre approved testing is turned on. Knowledge Devin proposes is saved only after a user edits and approves it, AI guardrails screen messages and PR comments and can block them before Devin acts, security profiles apply reusable restrictions to network, MCP and git access, and Devin Review runs only as often as the customer sets.

Independent auditors assess Cognition's security program at least annually under SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, and data is protected with TLS 1.2 or higher in transit and AES-256 at rest. Enterprise adds SAML and OIDC SSO, SCIM 2.0 provisioning, IdP group mapping, IP access lists and custom roles for fine grained RBAC.

The session Progress tab unifies shell commands with outputs, code edits and browser activity, and users can jump to any point in the command history and open individual steps after the fact. Session Insights adds a timeline of key events and knowledge usage for completed sessions, guardrail events land in audit logs with a session link, and the Devin MCP server and API expose session events for search.

Devin Memory saves each user's preferences, corrections, decisions and lessons about their repos as one line notes in a personal memory drive, a Git repository of Markdown files that every new session loads. Each note links back to the session that taught it. Dreaming, a background session about once a day, consolidates overlapping notes and removes stale ones no session has used.

Users browse their memory under Customize and can tell Devin to forget a note or turn personal memory off, and admins set it on or off for an organization or the whole enterprise. Knowledge adds shared instructions that users approve, scoped from one repository up to the enterprise.

Outposts, generally available on Pro, Max and Teams, run Devin sessions inside infrastructure the customer controls (its own VMs, containers, Kubernetes clusters or on premises machines), so command execution, file edits and repository access stay on customer machines while inference and planning stay in Devin's cloud. Enterprise also offers a Cognition hosted single tenant VPC reached over PrivateLink, and federal customers can run Devin Desktop and the CLI fully air gapped against their own model endpoints.

Cognition publishes the Devin official marketplace of plugins, mostly one per integration such as Linear, Notion, Datadog or Snowflake, each bundling skills and optionally rules, hooks, MCP servers and subagents, which administrators install or require for an organization. Playbooks add reusable prompt libraries, and Skills are SKILL.md procedures committed to a repository that every session follows.

Automations fire on Slack, GitHub, GitLab, Linear, Jira, Pylon, PagerDuty, schedule and webhook events, so once a trigger is defined Devin handles each event as it arrives without anyone tagging it. Scheduled sessions add recurring work, and Devin Oncall picks up alerts, bugs and incidents to investigate, fix or mitigate.

Users pick the model from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and Cognition models, including the SWE-2 coding model, plus open models such as DeepSeek, Kimi and GLM, with a --model flag, a /model command or a config default, and Enterprise teams restrict which models are available in Team Settings. Adaptive routes each task to a model automatically, and Fusion pairs a frontier lead model with a lower cost sidekick in Devin Desktop and the CLI.

The Devin API is documented across more than 300 reference pages, with an Outposts API and CLI reference and a CLI plugin format, giving programmatic control of sessions and the platform. The official Devin MCP server at mcp.devin.ai/mcp authenticates with a Devin API key and exposes tools that create, search and steer sessions, manage playbooks, knowledge and schedules, and list integrations.

After a pull request, Devin can enter a testing mode that plans one end to end flow, runs it in the desktop and sends a screen recording as proof, and Devin Review checks pull requests. Session Insights reviews a completed session with feedback and an improved prompt. These check the agent's output or one session after the fact. No harness scores the agent's behavior across runs, and FrontierCode is Cognition's own published benchmark.

Each session includes an interactive browser Devin operates for testing and visual verification alongside its shell and IDE, and a full desktop for Computer Use with screenshots and recordings. In testing mode Devin runs the app, clicks through one end to end flow in the browser and records the screen.
