## About DEV Community with LuumenAI

Connect DEV Community and Luumen can read your published articles, their comments, and your profile without leaving the terminal. When something needs correcting — a stale version number, a broken link, a postmortem that needs a follow-up note — it drafts the change, shows you the article body it will send, and waits for your approval before publishing. Authentication is by API key.

## Example tools

Read-only (25 in total):

- `DEVTO_GET_ARTICLE` — Returns a single published article by its ID, including full body content.
- `DEVTO_GET_ARTICLE_BY_PATH` — Returns a single published article by username and slug path.
- `DEVTO_GET_COMMENT` — Returns a single comment and its descendants (replies) by comment ID.
- `DEVTO_GET_CURRENT_USER` — Get the currently authenticated user's profile information.
- `DEVTO_GET_LISTING` — Returns a single classified listing by its ID.
- `DEVTO_GET_ORGANIZATION` — Returns a single organization by its username.
- `DEVTO_GET_PROFILE_IMAGE` — Returns the profile image URL for a user or organization by username.
- `DEVTO_GET_USER` — Get a single user by their ID or username.

Write and destructive (3 in total, approval required by default):

- `DEVTO_CREATE_ARTICLE` — Create a new article on DEV Community.
- `DEVTO_UPDATE_ARTICLE` — Update an existing article on DEV Community.
- `DEVTO_UPDATE_LISTING` — Updates an existing classified listing on DEV Community.
