Deepwiki MCP Server

The DeepWiki MCP server is a remote service that provides programmatic, no-authentication access to public repository documentation and search capabilities through the Model Context Protocol.

Key Information

• Base Server URL: https://mcp.deepwiki.com/
• Status: Free, remote, and requires no authentication for public repositories.

Available Tools

The server provides three primary tools for interacting with GitHub repository documentation:

1. read_wiki_structure: Retrieves a list of documentation topics for a specific GitHub repository.
2. read_wiki_contents: Allows you to view the actual documentation content of a GitHub repository.
3. ask_question: Enables AI-powered, context-grounded questions about a repository.

Wire Protocols

The server supports two protocols, though one is preferred for modern integrations:

• Streamable HTTP (/mcp):

• URL: https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp

• Compatibility: Recommended for most integrations, including Cloudflare, OpenAI, and Claude.

• SSE (Server-Sent Events) (/sse):

• URL: https://mcp.deepwiki.com/sse

• Status: Legacy protocol; currently being deprecated.
