DeepWiki

Install

/plugin marketplace add 88plug/claude-code-plugins
/plugin install deepwiki@88plug

No API key, no local server, no config. The plugin registers a remote MCP endpoint and Claude Code connects to it over HTTP.

Quickstart

After installing, ask your agent a question about any public repository:

Using deepwiki, how does the React reconciler schedule work?

The agent calls the DeepWiki tools, reads the indexed documentation for facebook/react, and answers — all without cloning the repo. You see the result in the same turn.

What it does

DeepWiki is a thin Claude Code plugin that wires up Cognition AI's hosted DeepWiki MCP server. It gives your agent read-only access to auto-generated documentation and Q&A over public GitHub repositories.

This is useful when you want to:

• Understand an unfamiliar codebase before adopting or contributing to it.
• Answer questions about a dependency without leaving your session.
• Pull architecture and API context into a task without cloning gigabytes of source.

Any public repo at github.com/<owner>/<repo> is reachable. DeepWiki indexes it and serves the documentation; this plugin lets the agent query it programmatically.

Features

• One-command install through the 88plug marketplace.
• No API key, no local process, no manual MCP config.
• Read-only by design — the agent reads docs and asks questions, nothing more.
• Works against any public GitHub repository.

MCP tools

The plugin exposes one MCP connection named deepwiki with these tools:

• read_wiki_structure — list the auto-generated documentation pages for a repository.
• read_wiki_contents — fetch the full documentation for a repository.
• ask_question — ask a natural-language question about a repository and get an AI-generated answer.

You normally do not call these by hand. Mention deepwiki or a repository in your prompt and the agent selects the right tool.

Remote service

[!NOTE] This plugin is configuration only. The indexing, the model, and the served documentation are operated by Cognition AI (the team behind Devin) at https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp. 88plug does not run the underlying service. When the agent queries DeepWiki, your query text is sent to that endpoint; the plugin does not proxy or log anything. Only public repositories are indexed, so do not send private repository names.

What this plugin is, and what it isn't

• Is: a small plugin manifest that registers the remote MCP endpoint and surfaces it through the 88plug marketplace as a single install command. No original business logic.
• Is not: the DeepWiki service itself. If the upstream endpoint changes or goes down, this plugin is just config — open the manifest and update the URL.

Contributing

Issues and pull requests are welcome at 88plug/deepwiki. Keep changes small; the plugin is intentionally a thin wrapper over the remote MCP server.
