Deepwiki MCP Server

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE: This server is currently not working since DeepWiki has cut off the possibility to scrape it. We recommend using the official DeepWiki MCP server at https://docs.devin.ai/work-with-devin/deepwiki-mcp for the time being.

This is an unofficial Deepwiki MCP Server

It takes a Deepwiki URL via MCP, crawls all relevant pages, converts them to Markdown, and returns either one document or a list by page.

Features

🔒 Domain Safety: Only processes URLs from deepwiki.com
🧹 HTML Sanitization: Strips headers, footers, navigation, scripts, and ads
🔗 Link Rewriting: Adjusts links to work in Markdown
📄 Multiple Output Formats: Get one document or structured pages
🚀 Performance: Fast crawling with adjustable concurrency and depth
NLP: It's to search just for the library name

cd deepwiki-mcp

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the package
npm run build

Direct API Calls

For HTTP transport, you can make direct API calls:

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "id": "req-1",
    "action": "deepwiki_fetch",
    "params": {
      "url": "https://deepwiki.com/user/repo",
      "mode": "aggregate"
    }
  }'

Configuration

Environment Variables

DEEPWIKI_MAX_CONCURRENCY: Maximum concurrent requests (default: 5)
DEEPWIKI_REQUEST_TIMEOUT: Request timeout in milliseconds (default: 30000)
DEEPWIKI_MAX_RETRIES: Maximum retry attempts for failed requests (default: 3)
DEEPWIKI_RETRY_DELAY: Base delay for retry backoff in milliseconds (default: 250)

To configure these, create a .env file in the project root:

DEEPWIKI_MAX_CONCURRENCY=10
DEEPWIKI_REQUEST_TIMEOUT=60000
DEEPWIKI_MAX_RETRIES=5
DEEPWIKI_RETRY_DELAY=500

Docker Deployment (Untested)

Build and run the Docker image:

# Build the image
docker build -t mcp-deepwiki .

# Run with stdio transport (for development)
docker run -it --rm mcp-deepwiki

# Run with HTTP transport (for production)
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 mcp-deepwiki --http --port 3000

# Run with environment variables
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 \
  -e DEEPWIKI_MAX_CONCURRENCY=10 \
  -e DEEPWIKI_REQUEST_TIMEOUT=60000 \
  mcp-deepwiki --http --port 3000

Development

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Run in development mode with stdio
pnpm run dev-stdio

# Run tests
pnpm test

# Run linter
pnpm run lint

# Build the package
pnpm run build

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Permission Denied: If you get EACCES errors when running the CLI, make sure to make the binary executable:
```
chmod +x ./node_modules/.bin/mcp-deepwiki
```
Connection Refused: Make sure the port is available and not blocked by a firewall:
```
# Check if port is in use
lsof -i :3000
```
Timeout Errors: For large repositories, consider increasing the timeout and concurrency:
```
DEEPWIKI_REQUEST_TIMEOUT=60000 DEEPWIKI_MAX_CONCURRENCY=10 npx mcp-deepwiki
```
