CoreStory Playbook: Using the CoreStory MCP Server with Devin

Overview

Providing agents with access to CoreStory code intelligence enables those agents to write more accurate code.

The simplest and most effective method for providing agents with CoreStory code intelligence is to connect them to CoreStory via MCP, or Model Context Protocol.

This document explains how to add and use CoreStory code intelligence inside Cognition’s Devin (devin.ai), a leading AI coding agent, to enable Devin to perform longer-running tasks with improved accuracy and more robust test coverage.

Benefits

Adding CoreStory context to Devin gives you the following advantages:

• More accurate code creation by Devin
• Success when asking Devin to run longer-than-average (>5 ACU) workflows
• Independent ticket creation and resolution by Devin
• Reduced hallucination through spec-driven development
• Automated discrepancy detection between specs and code
• Comprehensive test coverage derived from specifications

Who It’s For

• Developers
• Engineering Managers
• DevOps Engineers
• Technical Product Managers
