Devin CLI MCP and history: connect tools and resume work

Inspect tools and saved sessions

devin mcp list
devin list
devin -c

Use devin -c for the latest session in the current directory, or devin -r SESSION_ID for a specific session. Command reference.

Find the conversation before starting over

In CodeAgentSwarm, Devin conversations are available through history, search and bookmarks. A saved shortcut can reopen the associated conversation. Check the project and previous messages when resuming so your next request has the intended context.

Choose where an MCP server belongs

Use local scope for configuration specific to your checkout and project scope only for settings suitable for sharing. The current CLI uses dedicated MCP files. Official MCP configuration.

devin mcp add docs https://your-mcp-server.example/mcp
devin mcp list

Replace the example URL with the endpoint of a server you trust. It is a placeholder, not a hosted service. Authenticate with that server if required and check its exposed tools before asking Devin to use them.

CodeAgentSwarm MCP is optional

CodeAgentSwarm can connect Devin to CodeAgentSwarm tools for supported session and workspace actions. The app setting controls this integration. If you turn it off, new Devin launches should respect that choice; do not add it back manually just to make a test request work.

Installing a server and authorizing one of its actions are separate decisions. Read the action and target before allowing a change, especially when a tool can modify a remote service.

Verify resume with a small question

• Ask Devin to identify the test command in your sample project.
• Close the conversation after its answer is complete.
• Reopen it from history and ask which command it found.
• Confirm that the original messages and project still match.

If the session is absent on Windows, check the native history location. If it opens but cannot run a new turn, inspect authentication and quota separately from the saved transcript.
