Frequently asked questions

How do I switch from DeepSeek‑R1 to DeepSeek‑V3?

Modify the model field in `src/index.ts`. Use `"deepseek-reasoner"` for R1 (default) or `"deepseek-chat"` for V3.

What are the runtime requirements?

Node.js v18 or higher, npm, Claude Desktop, and a valid Deepseek API key.

What is the default temperature and how should I adjust it?

The default temperature is 0.2. For coding and math use 0.0, for data analysis 1.0, for general conversation and translation 1.3, for creative writing 1.5.

Which parameters can I pass in an API call?

You can set `prompt`, `max_tokens` (up to 8192), and `temperature` (0.0 – 2.0). See the API usage section in the README.

What kind of error messages does the server provide?

Detailed errors for API authentication failures, invalid parameters, rate limiting, and network issues.
