Deepseek Claude MCP Server

🚀 DeepSeek-Claude MCP Server

Enhance Claude's inference capabilities by integrating the advanced inference engine of DeepSeek R1. This server enables Claude to tackle complex inference tasks by leveraging the inference power of the DeepSeek R1 model.

🚀 Quick Start

This server enhances Claude's inference capabilities by integrating the advanced inference engine of DeepSeek R1, enabling it to handle complex inference tasks.

✨ Features

Advanced Inference Capabilities

• Seamlessly integrate the inference of DeepSeek R1 with Claude.
• Support complex multi-step inference tasks.
• Designed to generate well-considered responses with precision and efficiency.

📦 Installation

Installation via Smithery

To automatically install DeepSeek-Claude for Claude Desktop 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 (register at DeepSeek Platform to obtain)

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 command in PowerShell:

     powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
     

   • Mac: Run the following command:

     curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
     

3. Create a virtual environment

   uv venv
   source .venv/bin/activate
   

4. Install dependencies

   uv add "mcp[cli]" httpx
   

5. Set up the API key

   Get your API key here: https://platform.deepseek.com/api_keys
   

6. Configure the MCP server Edit the claude_desktop_config.json file and add 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 the setup

   • Restart Claude Desktop.

   • Ensure the tool icon is visible in the interface.

   • If the server is not visible, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide.

💻 Usage Examples

Start the server

The server starts automatically when used with Claude Desktop. Ensure that Claude Desktop can detect the MCP server.

Example workflow

1. Claude receives a query that requires advanced inference.
2. The query is forwarded to DeepSeek R1 for processing.
3. DeepSeek R1 returns a well-considered response.
4. Claude presents the response to the user in a natural way.
