DeepSeek-Claude MCP Server

DeepSeek-Claude MCP Server

Enhance Claude's reasoning capabilities with the integration of DeepSeek R1's advanced reasoning engine. This server enables Claude to tackle complex reasoning tasks by leveraging the reasoning capabilites of deepseek r1 model.


🚀 Features

Advanced Reasoning Capabilities

  • Seamlessly integrates DeepSeek R1's reasoning with Claude.
  • Supports intricate multi-step reasoning tasks.
  • Designed for precision and efficiency in generating thoughtful responses.

Complete Setup guide

Installing via Smithery

To install DeepSeek-Claude for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @HarshJ23/deepseek-claude-MCP-server --client claude

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.12 or higher
  • uv package manager
  • DeepSeek API key (Sign up at DeepSeek Platform)
  1. Clone the Repository
    git clone https://github.com/harshj23/deepseek-claude-MCP-server.git cd deepseek-claude-MCP-server
  2. Ensure UV is Set Up
    • Windows: Run the following in PowerShell:
      powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
    • Mac: Run the following:
      curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
  3. Create Virtual Environment
    uv venv source .venv/bin/activate
  4. Install Dependencies
    uv add "mcp[cli]" httpx
  5. Set Up API Key
    Obtain your api key from here : https://platform.deepseek.com/api_keys
  6. Configure MCP Server Edit the claude_desktop_config.json file to include the following configuration:
    { "mcpServers": { "deepseek-claude": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "C:\\ABSOLUTE\\PATH\\TO\\PARENT\\FOLDER\\deepseek-claude", "run", "server.py" ] } } }
  7. Run the Server
    uv run server.py
  8. Test Setup
    • Restart Claude Desktop.
    • Verify the tools icon is visible in the interface.
    • If the server isn’t visible, consult the troubleshooting guide.

🛠 Usage

Starting the Server

The server automatically starts when used with Claude Desktop. Ensure Claude Desktop is configured to detect the MCP server.

Example Workflow

  1. Claude receives a query requiring advanced reasoning.
  2. The query is forwarded to DeepSeek R1 for processing.
  3. DeepSeek R1 returns structured reasoning wrapped in <ant_thinking> tags.
  4. Claude integrates the reasoning into its final response.
