Deepwiki

Use DeepWiki MCP for repository-focused documentation from deepwiki.com. Use it when you need a fast overview of an external repository, architecture, or repo-specific concepts, rather than live library docs or broad web research.

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

  1. Pass an owner/repo, repo URL, or library keyword.
  2. Use maxDepth: 0 for one page/site, maxDepth: 1 for broader coverage.
  3. Read the returned markdown.
  4. 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.
