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:

​

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. Windsurf, Cursor):

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

​

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