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

--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}"
}
}
}
}Local (stdio)
Claude Code:
claude mcp add -s user deepseek npx @arikusi/deepseek-mcp-server -e DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=your-key-hereGemini CLI:
gemini mcp add deepseek npx @arikusi/deepseek-mcp-server -e DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=your-key-hereScope options (Claude Code):

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
Install directly
Runs npx -y @arikusi/deepseek-mcp-server on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.
claude mcp add deepseek -- npx -y @arikusi/deepseek-mcp-server
