Can I use this for private repositories?

Currently, DeepWiki MCP is optimized for public GitHub repositories that have been indexed on the DeepWiki platform to ensure high-quality AI-generated documentation.

How do I add this to my Claude Code CLI?

You can add it by running: claude mcp add -s user -t http deepwiki https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp

What repositories are supported by DeepWiki MCP?

Any public GitHub repository indexed on DeepWiki.com can be accessed. If a repository isn't indexed yet, you can visit DeepWiki.com to trigger the indexing process for that URL.

Does this skill require an API key?

No, the DeepWiki MCP server is a free, official service provided by Cognition (Devin AI) and does not require authentication for accessing public repository documentation.

What is the difference between the wiki structure and wiki contents tools?

The read_wiki_structure tool returns the available topic tree and table of contents for a repo, while read_wiki_contents retrieves the full AI-generated text for a specific chosen topic.
