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

The field name for the server URL depends on the client: Devin Desktop uses serverUrl, while most other clients use the standard url field. Using the wrong field name causes the MCP server to be silently ignored.

For Devin Desktop:

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

For most other 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
