Deepseek R1 MCP Server

This repository provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for the Deepseek R1 language model, known for its reasoning capabilities and 8192 token context window. Built using Node.js/TypeScript for stable MCP server integration, it offers type safety and compatibility with Claude Desktop.

Quick Start

Clone the repository, install dependencies using npm install, configure the .env file with your Deepseek API key, and build the project with npm run build.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18+)
• npm
• Claude Desktop
• Deepseek API key

Model Selection

The server defaults to the deepseek-R1 model but can be configured to use DeepSeek-V3 by modifying src/index.ts.

Configuration

Set the DEEPSEEK_API_KEY in a .env file and update Claude Desktop with the server's command and environment variables.

Features

Key features include advanced text generation, configurable parameters like max_tokens and temperature, robust error handling, full MCP protocol support, Claude Desktop integration, and support for both DeepSeek-R1 and DeepSeek-V3 models. The temperature parameter should be adjusted based on the use case, ranging from 0.0 for coding to 1.5 for creative writing.
