Query DeepWiki for AI-generated documentation about any public GitHub repository.
DeepWiki (deepwiki.com) provides AI-generated documentation for GitHub repositories, including:
URL Pattern: Replace github.com with deepwiki.com in any repo URL:
github.com/vercel/next.js → deepwiki.com/vercel/next.jsDeepWiki provides a free MCP server with no authentication required for public repos.
claude mcp add -s user -t http deepwiki https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp
Add to your MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"deepwiki": {
"serverUrl": "https://mcp.deepwiki.com/sse"
}
}
}
Once configured, these tools become available:
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
read_wiki_structure | Get documentation topics/structure for a repo |
read_wiki_contents | Retrieve actual documentation content |
ask_question | Ask AI-powered questions about the repo |
# Fetch documentation overview
WebFetch https://deepwiki.com/owner/repo "Summarize the architecture"
# Example
WebFetch https://deepwiki.com/vercel/next.js "How does routing work?"
Use the MCP tools directly:
mcp__deepwiki__read_wiki_structure - Get repo structuremcp__deepwiki__read_wiki_contents - Get documentationmcp__deepwiki__ask_question - Ask questionsIf DeepWiki lacks coverage for a repo, use GitHub API:
gh api repos/owner/repo | jq '{description, language, topics, stars: .stargazers_count}'
gh api repos/owner/repo/readme --jq '.content' | base64 -d
gh api repos/owner/repo/git/trees/main?recursive=1 | \
jq -r '.tree[] | select(.type == "blob") | .path' | head -50
Two protocols are supported:
https://mcp.deepwiki.com/sse - Official MCP spechttps://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp - Cloudflare/OpenAI compatibleAlways search before starting any work across all coding agent session histories (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Aider, ChatGPT) to find whatever we've discussed before.
Spawn 5 Opus subagents with randomly-generated distinct personas to debate a problem from multiple angles. Use when exploring UX decisions, architecture choices, or any decision that benefits from diverse perspectives arguing creatively.
Configure Karabiner-Elements keyboard remapping using Goku EDN syntax. Use when creating keybindings, layers, simlayers, app-specific shortcuts, or modifying karabiner.edn.
Bundle code context for AI. ALWAYS use --limit 49k unless user explicitly requests otherwise. Use for creating shareable code bundles and preparing context for LLMs.
Build Raycast extensions with React and TypeScript. Use when the user asks to create a Raycast extension, command, or tool.
Create new Agent Skills for Claude Code. Use when user wants to create a skill, add a new capability, document a CLI workflow, or asks how skills work.
