# Devin ACP Setup

Devin ACP setup: run Devin over the Agent Client Protocol and connect it to AgentRQ for human-in-the-loop task management.

[Devin](https://docs.devin.ai/cli) is the CLI for Devin, Cognition's software engineering agent. It speaks the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), so it runs behind AgentRQ's gateway with no custom integration code.

Wondering which other coding agents support ACP? See the [ACP support table](https://agentrq.com/blog/which-coding-agents-support-acp-agent-client-protocol) for 33 agents.

Want Devin to use websites too? [Connect Devin to WebMCP](https://agentrq.com/docs/webmcp/devin) shows how it can call a site's WebMCP tools in your own Chrome.

## Does Devin Support ACP?

Yes. Devin publishes an ACP server to the [ACP registry](https://github.com/agentclientprotocol/registry) as `devin`, so AgentRQ's gateway can fetch and run it by name — there is nothing to install by hand.

## What Connecting via ACP Gets You

Once Devin is bridged through AgentRQ's [ACP Gateway](https://agentrq.com/docs/connect-acp-agent), every task it works on shows up on your AgentRQ [task board](https://agentrq.com/features/task-board) in real time. You can approve risky commands, reply with extra context, or reassign work — from the dashboard or Slack — without touching the terminal Devin is running in.

## Connect Devin

Copy the `.mcp.json` for your workspace from **Settings → Setup** in the AgentRQ app, save it in your project root, then run both commands from that directory.

The registry publishes no `sha256` for Devin, and the gateway will not install a download it cannot verify. `--allow-unverified-agent` is you accepting that trade-off, and it belongs on every command.

Log in (the first run also downloads the agent):

bash

```bash
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --login --agent devin --allow-unverified-agent
```

Start the bridge, and leave it running — it picks up tasks as you assign them:

bash

```bash
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --agent devin --allow-unverified-agent
```

Devin ships as a prebuilt binary, which the gateway downloads, checks and caches per agent, version and platform.

## Choosing a Model

Ask Devin which models it supports, then start it on one of them:

bash

```bash
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --list-models --agent devin --allow-unverified-agent
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --model <model-id> --agent devin --allow-unverified-agent
```

Omit `--model` to take whatever the agent defaults to. The gateway applies the model as each session opens and reports it back to AgentRQ, so the workspace shows which model actually ran.

## FAQ

**Does Devin work with AgentRQ?**

Yes — Devin speaks the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), so it connects to AgentRQ through the open-source [ACP Gateway](https://agentrq.com/docs/connect-acp-agent) with no custom integration code.

**How do I connect Devin to AgentRQ?**

Save your workspace's `.mcp.json` in your project root, log in with `npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --login --agent devin --allow-unverified-agent`, then start the bridge with the same command minus `--login`.

**Why does Devin need --allow-unverified-agent?**

The ACP registry publishes no checksum for the Devin binary, and the AgentRQ gateway will not install a download it cannot verify. The flag is required on every command, and only the first run downloads anything.
