How to Set up DeepWiki MCP Server

DeepWiki MCP - Devin Docs

DeepWiki released a remote MCP server. Now we can use DeepWiki from MCP clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VSCode(Cline, Roo code), Tare, etc.

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

How to set up DeepWiki

The DeepWiki MCP server is a free, rmeove, no-auth and it supports SSE(Sever Sent Events) so we just need to add the URL to use DeepWiki MCP sercer which is very easy to setup.
