Devin CLI

Devin CLI is Devin's command-line client. It supports specifying an OpenAI-compatible API address through environment variables or a configuration file. Point the Base URL at aicentos and fill in the API Key, and the models aicentos offers become available in the terminal.

PrerequisitesCopy anchor link

First create a dedicated key for Devin CLI on the console's "API Keys" page (naming it devin-cli makes usage easier to track).

InstallationCopy anchor link

Node.js 18+ and npm are required first:

node -v
npm -v

Install globally with npm:

npm install -g devin-cli

Verify after installing:

devin --version

Setup stepsCopy anchor link

Both environment variables and a configuration file are supported; environment variables take precedence.

Option 1: Environment variables (recommended)Copy anchor link

export DEVIN_BASE_URL="https://aicentos.com/v1"
export DEVIN_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

To persist them, write them into ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc, then run source ~/.zshrc.

Option 2: Configuration fileCopy anchor link

Edit ~/.devin/config.json:

{
  "apiKey": "your_api_key_here",
  "baseURL": "https://aicentos.com/v1",
  "model": "gpt-4o"
}

Configuration to fill inCopy anchor link

TestCopy anchor link

Once configured, run:

devin

Send a simple prompt in the interactive session; receiving a normal reply means the integration works. On an authentication error, check whether DEVIN_API_KEY is correct, whether DEVIN_BASE_URL carries the /v1 suffix, and whether the account balance is sufficient.

NotesCopy anchor link

• The Base URL only goes up to /v1; do not extend it to the full /v1/chat/completions path
• When both environment variables and the configuration file exist, the environment variables win
• It is a good idea to confirm the visible models with GET /v1/models first, then fill in the Model ID
