Step 1: Inspect tool signatures

List available tools and their parameters:

bunx mcporter list https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp --all-parameters

Step 2: List documentation topics

bunx mcporter call https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp.read_wiki_structure \
  repoName:owner/repo

Parameters:

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

Step 3: Read documentation content

bunx mcporter call https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp.read_wiki_contents \
  repoName:owner/repo

Parameters:

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

Step 4: Ask a repo question

bunx mcporter call https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp.ask_question \
  repoName:owner/repo \
  question:"How does the routing layer work?"

Parameters:

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