MCP-server-Deepseek_R1

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for the Deepseek R1 language model. Deepseek R1 is a powerful language model optimized for reasoning tasks with a context window of 8192 tokens.

Why Node.js? This implementation uses Node.js/TypeScript as it provides the most stable integration with MCP servers. The Node.js SDK offers better type safety, error handling, and compatibility with Claude Desktop.

# Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/66julienmartin/MCP-server-Deepseek_R1.git
cd deepseek-r1-mcp
npm install

# Set up environment
cp .env.example .env  # Then add your API key

# Build and run
npm run build

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

By default, this server uses the deepseek-R1 model. If you want to use DeepSeek-V3 instead, modify the model name in src/index.ts:

// For DeepSeek-R1 (default)
model: "deepseek-reasoner"

// For DeepSeek-V3
model: "deepseek-chat"

1. Create a .env file:

DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

1. Update Claude Desktop configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepseek_r1": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/deepseek-r1-mcp/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DEEPSEEK_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

npm run dev     # Watch mode
npm run build   # Build for production

• Advanced text generation with Deepseek R1 (8192 token context window)
• Configurable parameters (max_tokens, temperature)
• Robust error handling with detailed error messages
• Full MCP protocol support
• Claude Desktop integration
• Support for both DeepSeek-R1 and DeepSeek-V3 models

{
  "name": "deepseek_r1",
  "arguments": {
    "prompt": "Your prompt here",
    "max_tokens": 8192,    // Maximum tokens to generate
    "temperature": 0.2     // Controls randomness
  }
}

The default value of temperature is 0.2.

Deepseek recommends setting the temperature according to your specific use case:

The server provides detailed error messages for common issues:

• API authentication errors
• Invalid parameters
• Rate limiting
• Network issues
