Deepseek Thinker MCP Server

A MCP (Model Context Protocol) provider Deepseek reasoning content to MCP-enabled AI Clients, like Claude Desktop. Supports access to Deepseek's thought processes from the Deepseek API service or from a local Ollama server.

Core Features

🤖 Dual Mode Support
- OpenAI API mode support
- Ollama local mode support
🎯 Focused Reasoning
- Captures Deepseek's thinking process
- Provides reasoning output

Available Tools

get-deepseek-thinker

Description: Perform reasoning using the Deepseek model
Input Parameters:
- originPrompt (string): User's original prompt
Returns: Structured text response containing the reasoning process

Environment Configuration

OpenAI API Mode

Set the following environment variables:

API_KEY=<Your OpenAI API Key>
BASE_URL=<API Base URL>

Ollama Mode

Set the following environment variable:

USE_OLLAMA=true

Usage

Integration with AI Client, like Claude Desktop

Add the following configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepseek-thinker": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "deepseek-thinker-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "API_KEY": "<Your API Key>",
        "BASE_URL": "<Your Base URL>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using Ollama Mode

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepseek-thinker": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "deepseek-thinker-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "USE_OLLAMA": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

Local Server Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepseek-thinker": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/your-path/deepseek-thinker-mcp/build/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "API_KEY": "<Your API Key>",
        "BASE_URL": "<Your Base URL>"
      }
    }
  }
}
