Overview

What is Deepwiki MCP Server?

Deepwiki MCP Server is an unofficial MCP server that takes a Deepwiki URL, crawls all relevant pages, converts them to Markdown, and returns either a single aggregated document or a structured list of pages. It is designed for developers who want to extract documentation from deepwiki.com repositories for use with AI tools and coding assistants.

How to use Deepwiki MCP Server?

Configure it in your MCP client (e.g., Cursor) by adding mcp-deepwiki to .cursor/mcp.json with the command npx -y mcp-deepwiki@latest. Then use prompts like deepwiki fetch <query>, use deepwiki <url>, or call the registered deepwiki_fetch tool with parameters url (required), mode (aggregate or pages), and maxDepth (optional, default 10).
