DeepWiki

AI-powered documentation for GitHub repositories. Browse auto-generated docs, explore topic structures, and ask questions about any public repo. Powered by DeepWiki MCP. No API key required.

read_wiki_structure

Get a list of documentation topics for a repository. Use this first to discover what's documented.

• repoName (required): GitHub repo in owner/repo format

scripts/mcpcall.py read_wiki_structure repoName:"facebook/react"
scripts/mcpcall.py read_wiki_structure repoName:"anthropics/claude-code"

read_wiki_contents

View full documentation about a repository.

• repoName (required): GitHub repo in owner/repo format

scripts/mcpcall.py read_wiki_contents repoName:"facebook/react"
scripts/mcpcall.py read_wiki_contents repoName:"pallets/flask"

ask_question

Ask any question about a repository and get an AI-powered, context-grounded response.

• repoName (required): GitHub repo (owner/repo string) or array of up to 10 repos
• question (required): the question to ask

Single repo

scripts/mcpcall.py ask_question repoName:"facebook/react" question:"How does the reconciliation algorithm work?"
scripts/mcpcall.py ask_question repoName:"pallets/flask" question:"How are blueprints registered?"

Cross-repo comparison (up to 10 repos)

scripts/mcpcall.py ask_question --args '{"repoName": ["pallets/flask", "django/django"], "question": "How do these frameworks handle middleware?"}'

Tips

• Start with read_wiki_structure to see available topics before diving into full contents.
• ask_question supports up to 10 repos at once for cross-project comparisons.
• Use ask_question for targeted queries — it's faster than reading full wiki contents.
• Works with any public GitHub repository.
• Responses are AI-generated and can hallucinate, especially on small/obscure repos. Always verify key claims against actual source code (use /repo-cache to clone and read).
