Devin Search MCP
🇨🇳 简体中文
这项目是干啥的?
用 Claude Code、Cursor 或 CodeBuddy 写代码时,最大的痛点就是大模型不知道最新的技术变化:
问个刚发布的库或者框架新版本(比如 Next.js 15、Vue 3.5、Tailwind v4),它往往开始胡说八道或者给出老旧废弃的 API。
丢给它一个技术文档链接让它看,要么它连不上网,要么抓回来一堆带导航栏、广告和乱七八糟脚本的脏文本。
其实 Devin Desktop(以及 Windsurf)客户端内置的那套 web_search(全网实时搜索)和 webfetch(智能网页正文提取)非常强,但官方只把它绑死在自己的客户端界面里。
既然社区的 @sammysnake/fast-context-mcp 能把它的代码语义搜索抽成 MCP,那为什么不把它的全网实时搜索与网页阅读能力也抽出来,做成一个真正开箱即用的标准 MCP 呢?
于是就有了这个项目。它通过标准 MCP 协议,把 Devin 的联网能力直接接到你的 Cursor、CodeBuddy 或 Claude Desktop 里。
核心亮点(没有虚的,全击中痛点)
真正的极速,1 秒级响应: 我们没有采用“后台启动几十 MB 的
devin.exe重型客户端、让大模型慢慢思考推理”的那种笨办法。 而是直接逆向了 Devin 底层的二进制协议,纯用 Node.js 发二进制 Protobuf 网络包,直连官方原生的GetWebSearchResults检索网关!不启动任何本地客户端进程
不经过任何大模型推理,零模型额度消耗
实测首次检索 1.5 秒,后续缓存 JWT 后稳定 1 秒左右 返回。
零配置登录:只要你的电脑上装了 Devin Desktop 且登录过,这个工具就能自动从本地提取 Token(跨平台支持
credentials.toml与state.vscdb),完全不需要你在配置文件里手动填任何 API Key。拿到的都是干净数据:搜索结果自动提取成
标题 + 网址 + 核心要点摘录的结构化 JSON;抓取网页自动干掉广告、弹窗和导航栏,只留干净的 Markdown 正文。带内存缓存:同一个关键词在短时间内搜第二次,直接 0 毫秒从内存缓存返回,省时又省调用次数。
无需克隆安装:已经发布到 npm 官方源,在客户端配上一行
npx -y devin-search-mcp,30 秒搞定。
它是怎么跑起来的?

不需要自己下载代码,直接在你的 AI 工具的 MCP 配置文件里加这一段就行:
1. CodeBuddy / Cursor 用户
在 .codebuddy/mcp.json 或 .cursor/mcp.json(也可以直接在设置面板里的 MCP 设置)加入:
{
"mcpServers": {
"devin-search": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"devin-search-mcp"
]
}
}
}2. Claude Desktop 用户
打开配置文件:
Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.jsonmacOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
把上面那段 JSON 粘贴到 "mcpServers" 下面,重启 Claude 就能在对话界面看到小锤子图标亮起。
3. Claude Code (命令行版) 用户
直接加到 ~/.claude.json 的 mcpServers 里,用法完全一样。
都有哪些工具可以用?
配置好之后,你的 AI 会自动多出这几个能力:
devin_web_search(全网实时极速检索)想搜啥直接搜,比如
Vue 3.5 reactive props、Tauri v2 migration。支持传参数:
query(必填)、num_results(想看几条,默认 5 条)、detailed(是否附带 AI 综合总结)。返回格式是干干净净的列表:
[ { "title": "Announcing Vue 3.5 | The Vue Point", "url": "https://blog.vuejs.org/posts/vue-3-5", "snippet": "Vue 3.5 带来响应式系统重大重构,内存占用降低 56%..." } ]
devin_web_fetch(网页深度抓取与阅读)给它一个网址(比如某个文档页面或报错的 GitHub Issue),它会帮你抓取正文,并且自动去除广告、弹窗和样式噪声。
支持
extract_mode:"markdown"(默认,结构化排版)、"text"(纯文字)。
extract_devin_key(提取本地 Key)跟 fast-context-mcp 的
extract_windsurf_key一模一样,自动跨平台读出本地当前生效的 Token。
常见踩坑与注意事项
电脑里必须装过 Devin Desktop 吗?
是的。因为它是直接调用 Devin 的官方网关。只要你电脑上安装过 Devin Desktop 并且登录过一次,之后完全不用管它,MCP 会自动提取凭证跑起来。
为什么不直接用常规的 Google / Bing 爬虫脚本?
公开搜索引擎爬虫天天被风控弹验证码;而这个走的是 Devin 官方针对技术问答和开发者文档清洗过的内部检索通道,精准度和干净程度完全是两个量级,而且速度极快。
真的不消耗我的模型额度吗?
是的。
devin_web_search走的是原生检索 RPC,不经过大模型推理,零额度消耗。这点与fast-context-mcp的设计哲学完全一致。

AI-driven real-time Web Search and Web Fetch as an MCP tool — powered by Devin's official native search gateway.
Why It's Blazing Fast
Instead of spawning a heavy local devin.exe process and letting a huge LLM reason slowly, this project:
Reverse-engineered the native binary protocol of Devin and calls
GetWebSearchResultsRPC directly.No local client process, no LLM inference, zero model quota consumption.
Typical latency: ~1.5s on first call, ~1s afterwards (JWT cached).
Quick Setup
Add to your MCP configuration (claude_desktop_config.json, ~/.claude.json, or .cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"devin-search": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"devin-search-mcp"
]
}
}
}Key Tools
devin_web_search: Native ultra-fast real-time web search (query,num_results,detailed).devin_web_fetch: Deep webpage reader that cleans away advertisements and navbars (url,extract_mode).extract_devin_key: Auto-extract Devin / Windsurf API Key from local installation.

Available Tools
3 toolsdevin_web_fetchB
轻量抓取指定网页的正文内容,自动剔除导航、广告与脚本,输出整洁的 Markdown 或纯文本。
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | Yes | 目标网页完整 URL (http/https) | |
| extract_mode | No | 输出格式 | markdown |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It usefully discloses that navigation, ads, and scripts are stripped and that output is cleaned Markdown/text, but says nothing about JS-rendered pages, redirect/timeout/error behavior, auth-gated content, or size limits — notable gaps for a fetch tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single, well-formed sentence that front-loads the action and scope, then the value-add (content cleaning) and output form. Nothing is padded or redundant.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a two-parameter fetch tool with no annotations or output schema, the description covers what it does and the output flavor, but omits the third output mode ('summary'), and any failure/rendering behavior an agent would need to call it confidently.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters, establishing a baseline of 3. The description only loosely echoes the output-format parameter and, notably, mentions just 'Markdown 或纯文本' while the enum also includes 'summary', so it adds no meaning beyond the schema and slightly under-describes it.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description names a specific verb (抓取/lightweight fetch) and resource (指定网页的正文内容), and adds what distinguishes the result (自动剔除导航、广告与脚本). It is clearly a fetch tool rather than a search tool, but it never explicitly names or contrasts with its sibling devin_web_search.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. The word 轻量 hints at a lightweight/limited tradeoff but never states the condition (e.g. JS-heavy pages, pages needing rendering) or points to an alternative tool such as devin_web_search. The agent must infer routing from the phrase alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
devin_web_searchA
极速全网实时检索 (直连 Devin 官方网关)。用自然语言查最新技术文档、库版本特性、报错与开源方案,亚秒级返回结构化标题、网址与摘要。
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | Yes | 搜索关键词或自然语言问题 | |
| detailed | No | 是否附带深度综合总结 | |
| num_results | No | 返回结果条数 (默认 5) |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry the full behavioral burden; it does disclose the return shape (structured title, URL, summary) and a latency claim (亚秒级), and notes it connects directly to the Devin gateway. However it says nothing about authentication, rate limits, quota, or failure behavior, leaving meaningful gaps for a networked tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two compact sentences: the first front-loads the core identity and speed claim, the second gives query domains and return format. No filler, though the speed claim ('极速'/'亚秒级') is somewhat redundant with itself.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a 3-param search tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers purpose, applicable query types, return format, and latency. It omits auth/limit details, but nothing critical for correct invocation is missing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is already 100% (query, detailed, num_results are all documented in the schema), so baseline is 3. The description's '用自然语言' hint is effectively a restatement of the schema's own '搜索关键词或自然语言问题' text, adding no new parameter meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb+resource ('极速全网实时检索') scoped to live whole-web search, and the query-domain sentence (technical docs, library versions, errors, OSS solutions) makes its remit unmistakable versus a page-fetch tool. It is inherently distinguishable from devin_web_fetch (single-page retrieval) and extract_devin_key.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives clear usage context by enumerating the query types it targets (最新技术文档、库版本特性、报错与开源方案), which tells the agent when to reach for it. It stops short of naming an explicit alternative or any when-not-to-use condition, so it is context without exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
extract_devin_keyB
自动提取本地 Devin / Windsurf 登录凭证 (对齐 fast-context-mcp 的 extract_windsurf_key)。
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It does disclose that the scope is local credentials, which is meaningful context for an extraction tool, but it says nothing about side effects, permissions, whether it writes anything, whether the credential is returned or persisted, or any security considerations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single short sentence that front-loads the core action and resource, with the parenthetical kept brief. It is efficient, though the cross-repo alignment note adds little value for an agent deciding whether to call it.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a zero-parameter tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description should at minimum say what comes back (a credential string) and any precondition such as a local Devin/Windsurf login existing. Neither is stated, leaving the agent unsure of the return value and failure conditions.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool takes zero parameters, so there are no parameter semantics to explain; the baseline for a parameterless tool is 4. Nothing in the description misleads about inputs.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb (提取/extract) and resource (本地 Devin / Windsurf 登录凭证), so an agent immediately knows this pulls local credentials. It is easily distinguished from the siblings devin_web_search and devin_web_fetch, which are unrelated web operations, though it does not explicitly name those siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no statement of when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist. The parenthetical reference to fast-context-mcp's extract_windsurf_key is an implementation note, not usage guidance, and no prerequisites (e.g. that a local Devin/Windsurf install must exist) are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Scored across 3 tools
Each tool targets a distinct action: web search, web content fetching, and credential extraction. Boundaries are clear, and the credential tool does not overlap with the web retrieval tools.
Two tools use a devin_web_ prefix and noun-based structure, while extract_devin_key uses a different verb-first pattern without the web prefix. All names are snake_case and readable, but the convention is not uniform.
Three tools is a compact set appropriate for a focused search server, though the credential extraction tool is peripheral to the core search/fetch purpose. No bloat, and each tool has a clear role.
Search and fetch cover the primary web retrieval lifecycle, and key extraction supports authenticated access. Minor gaps like batch fetch, date filters, or search operators exist, but the core operations are present.
