DeepWiki provides AI-generated documentation and Q&A for GitHub repositories. Use it to quickly understand codebases, explore architecture, and get answers about how projects work.

When to Use

  • Exploring an unfamiliar GitHub repository
  • Understanding project architecture and structure
  • Finding how specific features are implemented
  • Getting quick answers about a codebase without reading all source code
  • Learning about dependencies, patterns, and design decisions

Quick Start

Run the CLI script with bun (use absolute path):

bun C:/Users/lyf1143312445/.agents/skills/deep-wiki/scripts/deepwiki.ts <command> [options]

DeepWiki now uses the Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint at https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp. If a repository has not been indexed yet, DeepWiki may return a "Repository not found" error and ask you to visit the repository page on DeepWiki first.

Available Commands

read-wiki-structure

Get a list of documentation topics available for a repository.

bun C:/Users/lyf1143312445/.agents/skills/deep-wiki/scripts/deepwiki.ts read-wiki-structure --repo-name "facebook/react"

read-wiki-contents

View the full AI-generated documentation for a repository.

bun C:/Users/lyf1143312445/.agents/skills/deep-wiki/scripts/deepwiki.ts read-wiki-contents --repo-name "vercel/next.js"

ask-question

Ask any question about a repository and get an AI-generated answer.

bun C:/Users/lyf1143312445/.agents/skills/deep-wiki/scripts/deepwiki.ts ask-question \
  --repo-name "prisma/prisma" --question "How does the query engine work?"

Global Options

  • -t, --timeout <ms>: Call timeout (default: 30000)
  • -o, --output <format>: Output format: text | markdown | json | raw
