Query DeepWiki for repository documentation and structure. Use to understand open source projects, find API docs, and explore codebases.
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 compatibleSearch for places (restaurants, cafes, etc.) via Google Places API proxy on localhost.
Interact with GitHub using the `gh` CLI. Use `gh issue`, `gh pr`, `gh run`, and `gh api` for issues, PRs, CI runs, and advanced queries.
Create or update AgentSkills. Use when designing, structuring, or packaging skills with scripts, references, and assets.
Start voice calls via the OpenClaw voice-call plugin.
Notion API for creating and managing pages, databases, and blocks.
Gemini CLI for one-shot Q&A, summaries, and generation.
