Set up

Add Devin to VS Code in four steps

Admins approve the server once. Everyone in VS Code then gets it through the same governed connection.

  1. 1

    Add Devin to Runlayer

    Devin isn’t in the Runlayer catalog yet, so an admin adds it by its MCP server URL.

    Adding a connector manually
  2. 2

    Connect VS Code to Runlayer

    Runlayer’s CLI installs the Runlayer Plugin natively in VS Code; users can also add it over MCP. With direct tool listing turned on for your deployment, Devin’s 24 tools show up in VS Code’s own tool list (VS Code 1.103 or newer).

  3. 3

    Sign in to Devin

    Sign in the way Devin requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

  4. 4

    Use Devin from VS Code

    Devin’s approved tools appear in VS Code. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Tools

24 Devin tools in VS Code

Runlayer policy decides which of these VS Code users can call.

  • Ask wiki question

    Ask any question about a GitHub repository's codebase and get an AI-powered answer grounded in its DeepWiki.

  • Automation manage

    Manage Devin automations.

  • Billing tag manage

    Manage Devin billing tags (groupings of Devin sessions for usage tracking) with a single action-based tool: list/get/create tags, assign sessions one at a time or in bulk (up to 500 per call, sent in…

  • Blueprint test

    Test a candidate blueprint YAML in an authoring VM: start → run initialize → fix → run initialize again (clean VM) → run maintenance → then persist with update_environment_config.

  • Campaign manage

    Read and publish a bot's campaign: its plan, its append-only readings and its status.

  • Code scan manage

    Manage Devin code scans (sometimes referred to as "security scans" or "Devin Security Swarm").

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in VS Code

Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what VS Code exposes to Runlayer.

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Devin call from VS Code passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, VS Code as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.

  • Client hooks (available)

    Capture supported prompts, reasoning, local and MCP tool calls, responses, and scanner decisions in real time.

  • Stop a call before it runs (available)

    Runlayer can deny a tool call before VS Code runs it.

  • Block output after it runs (available)

    Runlayer can block a tool’s output before VS Code’s model sees it.

  • Redact output in place (available)

    Runlayer can mask sensitive parts of a tool’s output in VS Code and pass the rest through.
