DeepWiki MCP

How to use the official DeepWiki MCP server

The DeepWiki MCP server provides programmatic access to DeepWiki's public repository documentation and search capabilities (Ask Devin).

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI apps to securely connect to MCP-compatible data sources and tools. You can think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications - a standardized way to connect AI apps to different services.

DeepWiki MCP Server

The DeepWiki MCP server is a free, remote, no-authentication-required service that provides access to public repositories.

Base Server URL: https://mcp.deepwiki.com/

Available Tools

The DeepWiki MCP server offers three main tools:

1. read_wiki_structure - Get a list of documentation topics for a GitHub repository
2. read_wiki_contents - View documentation about a GitHub repository
3. ask_question - Ask any question about a GitHub repository and get an AI-powered, context-grounded response

Wire Protocols

The DeepWiki MCP server supports two wire protocols:

Streamable HTTP - /mcp

• URL: https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp
• Works with Cloudflare, OpenAI, and Claude
• Recommended for most integrations

SSE (Server-Sent Events) - /sse

• URL: https://mcp.deepwiki.com/sse
• Legacy protocol, being deprecated

The `/mcp` endpoint is recommended as SSE is being deprecated.

Setup Instructions

For most clients (e.g. Windsurf, Cursor):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepwiki": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

For Claude Code:

claude mcp add -s user -t http deepwiki https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp

Want DeepWiki capabilities for private repositories? Sign up for a Devin account at [Devin.ai](https://devin.ai/) and use the [Devin MCP server](/work-with-devin/devin-mcp) with your Devin API key.

Configuration

DeepWiki MCP is a hosted remote server. No package installation, API key, headers, or environment variables are required. Configure an MCP client to use the recommended Streamable HTTP endpoint https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp. The legacy SSE endpoint is https://mcp.deepwiki.com/sse, but the official docs recommend /mcp because SSE is being deprecated.

For most clients, set mcpServers.deepwiki.serverUrl to https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp. For Claude Code, use claude mcp add -s user -t http deepwiki https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp.
