DeepWiki
Quick start
Goal: retrieve DeepWiki-generated repository documentation when you need a fast overview of an open source project.
Primary entry point:
mcp__mcp_deepwiki__deepwiki_fetch
Reference notes: skills/deepwiki/references/deepwiki.md
When to use it
- You need a quick architecture overview for an external repository.
- You want repo-level docs before reading raw source code.
- You need API, structure, or concept summaries from DeepWiki.
Workflow
- Pass an owner/repo, repo URL, or library keyword.
- Use
maxDepth: 0for one page/site,maxDepth: 1for broader coverage. - Read the returned markdown.
- Switch to direct code or web docs only if DeepWiki is insufficient.
Guardrails
- Prefer concise fetches first; widen depth only when needed.
- Treat DeepWiki as secondary documentation, not ground truth for latest unreleased changes.
- If accuracy is critical, verify against the real repository or official docs.
