Overview

DeepSeek-Claude MCP Server is a server that integrates the advanced reasoning capabilities of the DeepSeek R1 model into the Claude desktop application, enabling it to handle complex reasoning tasks effectively.

To use the server, install it via Smithery, set up the necessary environment, and ensure Claude Desktop is configured to detect the MCP server. The server starts automatically when Claude Desktop is used.

  • Seamless integration of DeepSeek R1's reasoning capabilities with Claude. - Support for intricate multi-step reasoning tasks. - Designed for precision and efficiency in generating thoughtful responses.
  1. Enhancing Claude's ability to answer complex queries.
  2. Assisting in tasks that require multi-step reasoning.
  3. Improving the overall performance of the Claude desktop application in reasoning tasks.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepseek-claude-mcp-server-harshj23": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-deepseek-claude-mcp-server-harshj23"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepseek-claude-mcp-server-harshj23": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-deepseek-claude-mcp-server-harshj23"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepseek-claude-mcp-server-harshj23": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-deepseek-claude-mcp-server-harshj23"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "deepseek-claude-mcp-server-harshj23": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-deepseek-claude-mcp-server-harshj23"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepseek-claude-mcp-server-harshj23": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-deepseek-claude-mcp-server-harshj23"
      ]
    }
  }
}
