Install Document & media tools (Apify) in Devin Desktop

What you need first

  • Devin Desktop, installed.
  • Nothing else: the server runs on its publisher's machines and Devin Desktop connects to it.

Steps

  1. Open ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json, or create it. On Windows it is %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json.
  2. Add this block. If the file already has mcpServers, add only the entry inside it.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify-document-tools": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=ai_admin/document-to-markdown,ai_admin/office-to-pdf,ai_admin/pdf-image-converter,ai_admin/audio-transcriber,ai_admin/image-to-text-ocr,ai_admin/text-to-speech,ai_admin/website-screenshot,ai_admin/domain-whois-dns-ssl,ai_admin/video-frame-extractor"
    }
  }
}
  1. Save the file and restart Devin Desktop.

Check it worked

Ask Devin Desktop: List the tools of apify-document-tools.

If it does not start

401 Unauthorized
The endpoint wants a sign-in or a key. Sign in when Devin Desktop asks.
Nothing changes after a restart
The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
