Devin Desktop adds composer retry and MCP server controls
This week, one release of Devin Desktop shipped, bringing improvements to the composer and Agent Command Center. The main change helps users retry rejected prompts without retyping. This update is useful for users who work with local agents.
v3.12.32 · November 8, 2026
Also shipped to the Next channel as v3.12.1032.
The release includes new features such as viewing and managing MCP servers in the Agent Command Center and retrying rejected prompts in the composer. The editor has been updated to use VS Code 1.141.2 and Electron 43.8.3, which includes security fixes. Notable fixes include preserving the working directory in reopened Local sessions and supporting Markdown previews in the Agent Command Center.
Official release notes
New
- In the Agent Command Center, open the ”…” menu in the session header to see its MCP servers, turn one on or off, or re-authenticate.
- If a local agent rejects the first prompt, Desktop puts the text back in the composer and shows the reason. You can correct it and resend without retyping.
Changed
- The editor now uses VS Code 1.141.2 and Electron 43.8.3, which includes Chromium security fixes.
- In IDE mode, opening Devin settings opens an editor tab instead of switching modes.
- Chat diffs use your editor theme’s diff colors. Shell commands and code blocks in the transcript use its syntax highlighting.
Fixed
- A reopened Local session keeps its working directory and additional folders. Closing its tab no longer removes it from Past Conversations.
- Click the filename on a Local plan approval card to read the full plan before approving it.
- Permission requests from third-party ACP agents no longer crash the conversation view or prevent Desktop from reopening a session with a pending request.
- Remote SSH now connects to hosts defined only in a custom
remote.devinSSH.configFile. - On Windows, local edits save even when the agent uses a different capitalization for the filename.
- Markdown previews are now supported in the Agent Command Center.
