DeepSeek MCP Server

Overview

DeepSeek MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Official DeepSeek MCP server for chat, completion, model listing, and balance endpoints. In practice that means any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call DeepSeek MCP Server's tools directly — the model decides when to use them in a conversation or agent run.

It runs locally: the npm package deepseek-mcp-server speaks MCP over stdio on your machine. Configuration happens through environment variables — you'll need DEEPSEEK_API_KEY. The current release is v0.3.1, published under the MIT license, with source at DMontgomery40/deepseek-mcp-server on GitHub, where it has earned 350 stars.

DeepSeek MCP Server is listed under Communication on mcp.site and works with any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed and the rest of the ecosystem — using the install snippets below.
