Devin MCP

The Aikido MCP Plugin connects Aikido’s security engine to AI coding tools. It automatically scans AI generated code for vulnerabilities and hardcoded secrets as soon as it is created.

AI assistants can review their own output, but that review is not perfect. Aikido adds a reliable and consistent security layer that checks every generated snippet with proven scanning rules.

Why use Aikido MCP

• Deterministic, independent security checks on every AI generated snippet before it is committed

• Immediate detection and remediation of vulnerabilities and hardcoded secrets in AI assisted workflows

• Real time feedback, making AI driven development safer by default

For the full list of tools the MCP server exposes, see Available tools.

Installation

1

Install the Aikido MCP server

devin mcp add -s user aikido -- npx -y @aikidosec/mcp@latest

Or add it by hand to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json on Windows).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aikido": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@aikidosec/mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Use -s project instead of -s user to write the server to .devin/mcp_config.json and share it with your team.

2

Authenticate

On first use, the MCP server will detect no authentication is set. Ask the agent to run aikido_login. It will return a browser link. Follow the link to log in to Aikido. Your token is stored securely once login is complete.

3

Add the Aikido rule to your global AGENTS file

Create the Devin config directory if it doesn't exist yet.

mkdir -p ~/.config/devin/

Append the Aikido rule to ~/.config/devin/AGENTS.md. Rules in this file are always on.

curl -fsSL "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/kidk/aa48cad6db80ba4a38493016aae67712/raw/3644397b7df43423e3da06434491b40bbb79dd47/aikido-rule.txt" \
  >> ~/.config/devin/AGENTS.md

To scope the rule to one repository instead, add the same content to the repository's AGENTS.md, or to .devin/rules/aikido.md with trigger: always_on frontmatter.

4

Finished

Aikido MCP is now available in Devin.

Restart Devin Desktop if it was open.

Devin namespaces MCP tools as mcp__aikido__<tool> and puts them behind its permission system, so approve the Aikido tools the first time the agent calls them.

For ways to ask your agent to use Aikido, see Example prompts.
