Deepseek MCP server

DeepSeek MCP Server

MCP server for DeepSeek V4 (v4-flash and v4-pro, 1M context) with multi-turn sessions, function calling, thinking mode, and cost tracking.

Compatible with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client. Officially listed on the MCP Registry, Smithery, Glama, LobeHub, and Fronteir AI.

v2.0.0 runs on DeepSeek V4. Two models, deepseek-v4-flash (fast and economical) and deepseek-v4-pro (top capability), both with a 1M-token context window and optional chain-of-thought thinking. Existing deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner setups keep working through deprecated aliases, so upgrading is drop-in, but new setups should use the V4 names.

Quick Start

  https://deepseek-mcp.tahirl.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_DEEPSEEK_API_KEY"

Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepseek": {
      "url": "https://deepseek-mcp.tahirl.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${DEEPSEEK_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}
