# DeepSeek-Claude MCP Server [![smithery badge](https://smithery.ai/badge/@HarshJ23/deepseek-claude-MCP-server)](https://smithery.ai/server/@HarshJ23/deepseek-claude-MCP-server) **Enhance Claude's reasoning capabilities** with the integration of DeepSeek R1's advanced reasoning engine. This server enables Claude to tackle complex reasoning tasks by leveraging the reasoning capabilites of deepseek r1 model.

--- ## ? Features ### **Advanced Reasoning Capabilities** - Seamlessly integrates DeepSeek R1's reasoning with Claude. - Supports intricate multi-step reasoning tasks. - Designed for precision and efficiency in generating thoughtful responses. --- ## Complete Setup guide ### Installing via Smithery To install DeepSeek-Claude for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@HarshJ23/deepseek-claude-MCP-server): ```bash npx -y @smithery/cli install @HarshJ23/deepseek-claude-MCP-server --client claude ``` ### Prerequisites - Python 3.12 or higher - `uv` package manager - DeepSeek API key (Sign up at [DeepSeek Platform](https://platform.deepseek.com)) 1. **Clone the Repository** ```bash 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 in PowerShell: ```powershell powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex" ``` - **Mac**: Run the following: ```bash curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh ``` 3. **Create Virtual Environment** ```bash uv venv source .venv/bin/activate ``` 4. **Install Dependencies** ```bash uv add "mcp[cli]" httpx ``` 5. **Set Up API Key** ```bash Obtain your api key from here : https://platform.deepseek.com/api_keys ``` 6. **Configure MCP Server** Edit the `claude_desktop_config.json` file to include the following configuration: ![claude_desktop_config.json file](public/images/edit_config.png) ```json { "mcpServers": { "deepseek-claude": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "C:ABSOLUTEPATHTOPARENTFOLDERdeepseek-claude", "run", "server.py" ] } } } ``` 7. **Run the Server** ```bash uv run server.py ``` 8. **Test Setup** - ##### Restart Claude Desktop. - Verify the tools icon is visible in the interface. ![tool visible](public/images/tool1.png) ![tool verify](public/images/tool2.png) - If the server isn’t visible, consult the [troubleshooting guide](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/server#troubleshooting). --- ## ? 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 1. Claude receives a query requiring advanced reasoning. 2. The query is forwarded to DeepSeek R1 for processing. 3. DeepSeek R1 returns structured reasoning wrapped in `` tags. 4. Claude integrates the reasoning into its final response. --- ## ? License This project is licensed under the MIT License. See the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for details. ---
