- **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:
```bash
API_KEY=<Your OpenAI API Key>
BASE_URL=<API Base URL>
```
### Ollama Mode
Set the following environment variable:
```bash
USE_OLLAMA=true
```
## Usage
### Integration with AI Client, like Claude Desktop
Add the following configuration to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```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
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"deepseek-thinker": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"deepseek-thinker-mcp"
],
"env": {
"USE_OLLAMA": "true"
}
}
}
}
```
### Local Server Configuration
```json
{
"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>"
}
}
}
}
```
## Development Setup
```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build project
npm run build
# Run service
node build/index.js
```
## FAQ
### Response like this: "MCP error -32001: Request timed out"
This error occurs when the Deepseek API response is too slow or when the reasoning content output is too long, causing the MCP server to timeout.
