What is the Devrev MCP server?

A Model Context Protocol server for DevRev. It is used to search and retrieve information using the DevRev APIs. That is what the devrev mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

Getting it running

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 2 tools. What each one is for:

  • search — Search for information using the DevRev search API with the provided query and namespace
  • get_object — Get all information about a DevRev object using its ID

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: DEVREV_API_KEY, YOUR_DEVREV_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Devrev's toolset — search, get_object — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by kpsunil97; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Devrev to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 2 tools (search, get_object) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Devrev directly.
