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:

SSE (Server-Sent Events) - /sse

  • URL: https://mcp.deepwiki.com/sse
  • The official MCP specification version
  • Supported by Claude
  • Recommended for most integrations

Streamable HTTP - /mcp

  • URL: https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp
  • Newer protocol, works with Cloudflare and OpenAI
  • Also supports the legacy /sse version

For maximum compatibility, try the SSE endpoint at /sse first.

Setup Instructions

For most clients (e.g. Cursor):

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

For Claude Code:

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