What is DeepWiki MCP?

DeepWiki MCP is a remote, no-authentication MCP server that provides AI-powered codebase context and answers, offering programmatic access to DeepWiki's repository documentation and search capabilities via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP is an open standard for connecting AI apps to data sources and tools, similar to how USB-C connects devices.

How to use DeepWiki MCP?

To use the DeepWiki MCP server, send requests to the available tools using one of the supported wire protocols:

1. Connect to the server via SSE (Server-Sent Events) at https://mcp.deepwiki.com/sse or Streamable HTTP at https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp.
2. Use the available tools (read_wiki_structure, read_wiki_contents, ask_question) to access repository documentation and get AI-powered responses.
3. For best compatibility, prefer the SSE endpoint /sse.

Key features of DeepWiki MCP?

• Three main tools: read_wiki_structure, read_wiki_contents, and ask_question for repository documentation and AI-powered answers.
• Two wire protocols: SSE and Streamable HTTP for different use cases and compatibility.
• No authentication required: Free and open access to the MCP server.
• AI-powered search: Context-aware responses for GitHub repositories.
• DeepWiki integration: Tightly coupled with Devin's documentation (Devin Wiki) and search features (Ask Devin).

Use cases of DeepWiki MCP?

1. Developer onboarding: Quickly get repository documentation for fast contextual understanding.
2. Codebase exploration: Query and navigate unfamiliar codebases with AI assistance.
3. Automated documentation: Build integrations to fetch or process documentation programmatically.
4. AI-powered search: Enable AI to answer specific questions about a repository with context-aware responses.
5. Productivity tools: Integrate repository knowledge into custom AI-powered tools or workflows.

How to use the official DeepWiki MCP server.

The DeepWiki MCP server provides programmatic access to DeepWiki’s repository documentation (Devin Wiki) 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.

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.
