🛠 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
Claude receives a query requiring advanced reasoning.
The query is forwarded to DeepSeek R1 for processing.
DeepSeek R1 returns structured reasoning wrapped in
