DeepWiki provides AI-generated documentation and Q&A for GitHub repositories. Use it to quickly understand codebases, explore architecture, and get answers about how projects work.
When to Use
- Exploring an unfamiliar GitHub repository
- Understanding project architecture and structure
- Finding how specific features are implemented
- Getting quick answers about a codebase without reading all source code
- Learning about dependencies, patterns, and design decisions
Quick Start
Run the CLI script with bun (use absolute path):
bun ~/.agents/skills/deep-wiki/scripts/deepwiki.ts <command> [options]
DeepWiki now uses the Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint at https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp.
If a repository has not been indexed yet, DeepWiki may return a "Repository not found" error and ask you to visit the repository page on DeepWiki first.
Available Commands
read-wiki-structure
Get a list of documentation topics available for a repository.
bun ~/.agents/skills/deep-wiki/scripts/deepwiki.ts read-wiki-structure --repo-name "facebook/react"
read-wiki-contents
View the full AI-generated documentation for a repository.
bun ~/.agents/skills/deep-wiki/scripts/deepwiki.ts read-wiki-contents --repo-name "vercel/next.js"
ask-question
Ask any question about a repository and get an AI-generated answer.
bun ~/.agents/skills/deep-wiki/scripts/deepwiki.ts ask-question \
--repo-name "prisma/prisma" --question "How does the query engine work?"
Global Options
