What's new in Devin Desktop

November 2026: Devin Desktop adds per-session MCP toggles and more resilient Devin Local

So far in November 2026, Devin Desktop added per-session MCP server controls in the Agent Command Center and made Devin Local keep working through more situations. Four releases have shipped, from v3.12.17 to v3.12.43, and the month is still in progress.

In the Agent Command Center, the "…" menu in the session header lists a session's MCP servers and lets you turn one on or off or re-authenticate. If a local agent rejects your first prompt, the text returns to the composer with the reason so you can fix and resend it. The editor moved to VS Code 1.141.2 and Electron 43.8.3, which includes Chromium security fixes. Chat diffs and transcript code now follow your editor theme.

v3.12.43 focused on Devin Local: a response that stops at the output limit before a tool call now continues the turn, and GPT models no longer stop to ask for input they can work out. In the IDE, you can drag files or folders onto the Devin Local panel to add them as chips. Other fixes cover Remote SSH, Windows file saves, ACP permission requests and Mermaid diagrams in collapsed sections.

• Toggle or re-authenticate a session's MCP servers from the "…" menu in the Agent Command Center header (v3.12.17)
• Rejected first prompts return to the composer with the reason, so you can edit and resend without retyping (v3.12.17)
• Editor updated to VS Code 1.141.2 and Electron 43.8.3, including Chromium security fixes (v3.12.17)
• Devin Local continues a turn when output hits the limit before a tool call; GPT models stop asking for input they can infer (v3.12.43)
• Drag a file or folder from the Explorer or an editor tab onto the Devin Local panel to add it as a chip (v3.12.43)
• Remote SSH now reads hosts defined only in a custom remote.devinSSH.configFile (v3.12.17)

October 2026: Devin Desktop adds side-by-side sessions, per-session Files and Changes views

Devin Desktop's October 2026 releases added multi-session viewing and richer per-session tooling. In v3.11.212 you can drag a session from the sidebar onto an open one to view up to 8 sessions side by side, group sidebar sessions by workspace, and start child sessions from the "More" menu. Every session also gets a Files view, a Changes tab that now works for local sessions, and a terminal in the add-tab menu. Eight releases shipped, from v3.10.67 to v3.11.235.

Earlier, v3.10.67 let enterprise admins set an Extension marketplace URL, improved performance on very large folders, and added support for MCP servers on protocol revision 2026-07-28. The rest of the month focused on Devin Local and remote windows: Allow and Reject buttons on tool requests, lower memory use in large sessions, restored multi-select questions, Remote-SSH and Remote-WSL folder and file-link fixes, and diagnostics exports that keep the last 4 MB of each output log.

• Enterprise admins can set an Extension marketplace URL so extensions install only from that source (v3.10.67)
• Remote-SSH and Remote-WSL: Agent Window folder picker and file links now use the remote machine (v3.11.228)
• Devin Local shows Allow and Reject on tool requests, uses less memory in large sessions, and restores multi-select questions (v3.11.231, v3.11.234)
