Connect DEV Community to your AI agent
DEV Community (dev.to) is a community of software developers where you can publish articles, engage with others, and build your online presence.
We set up the connection using your own DEV Community account, with keys you control, and keep it running. Your agent picks it up and starts doing the work.

Set the guardrails
Read-only by default. You choose which write actions the agent may take, and anything outside that policy gets confirmed with you first.
- 3
We keep it running
Health checks on every connection, updates handled for you, and we watch the first week of activity to make sure the work lands.
FAQ
DEV Community questions, answered.
With a key you create and control. You paste it in once, it is stored in a secrets store on your server, permissions are scoped to the minimum the agent needs, and you can revoke it at any time.
The actions DEV Community's API allows, the same things a person clicking around the app could do. Connections start read-only by default; write actions are confirmed against the policy you set before the agent takes them.
Connections are priced per tool on top of the base plan. Some are included, some are premium. See pricing for how connection charges work.
Standard tools are ready inside 7 business days of the setup call. We test the connection end to end, walk you through how the agent uses it, and watch the first week of activity.
