DeepWiki

Quick start

Goal: retrieve DeepWiki-generated repository documentation when you need a fast overview of an open source project.

Primary entry point:

• mcp__mcp_deepwiki__deepwiki_fetch

Reference notes: skills/deepwiki/references/deepwiki.md

When to use it

• You need a quick architecture overview for an external repository.
• You want repo-level docs before reading raw source code.
• You need API, structure, or concept summaries from DeepWiki.

Workflow

1. Pass an owner/repo, repo URL, or library keyword.
2. Use maxDepth: 0 for one page/site, maxDepth: 1 for broader coverage.
3. Read the returned markdown.
4. Switch to direct code or web docs only if DeepWiki is insufficient.

Guardrails

• Prefer concise fetches first; widen depth only when needed.
• Treat DeepWiki as secondary documentation, not ground truth for latest unreleased changes.
• If accuracy is critical, verify against the real repository or official docs.
