DeepWiki Skill
Use this skill to query GitHub repository documentation and ask questions about codebases.
Prerequisites
uxcis installed and available inPATH.- Network access to
mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp
Note: Repositories must be indexed on DeepWiki first. Visit https://deepwiki.com to index a repository.
Install uxc
Choose one of the following methods:
Homebrew (macOS/Linux):
brew tap holon-run/homebrew-tap
brew install uxcInstall Script (macOS/Linux, review before running):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/scripts/install.sh -o install-uxc.sh
less install-uxc.sh
bash install-uxc.shCargo:
cargo install uxcCore Workflow
- Use fixed link command by default:
- command -v deepwiki-mcp-cli - If missing, create it: uxc link deepwiki-mcp-cli mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp - deepwiki-mcp-cli -h - If command conflict is detected and cannot be safely reused, stop and ask skill maintainers to pick a different fixed command name.
- Ask a question about a repository:
- deepwiki-mcp-cli ask_question repoName=owner/repo question='your question'
- Read wiki structure:
- deepwiki-mcp-cli read_wiki_structure repoName=owner/repo
- Read wiki contents:
- deepwiki-mcp-cli read_wiki_contents repoName=owner/repo
Available Tools
- ask_question: Ask any question about a GitHub repository and get an AI-powered response
- read_wiki_structure: Get a list of documentation topics for a repository
- read_wiki_contents: View documentation about a repository
Usage Examples
Ask about a codebase
deepwiki-mcp-cli ask_question repoName=facebook/react question='How does useState work?'Explore repository structure
deepwiki-mcp-cli read_wiki_structure '{"repoName":"facebook/react"}'Read documentation
deepwiki-mcp-cli read_wiki_contents repoName=facebook/reactOutput Parsing
The response is an MCP JSON envelope. Extract the content from .data.content[].text.
Notes
- Maximum 10 repositories per question
- Some popular repositories may already be indexed
- Responses are grounded in the actual codebase
deepwiki-mcp-cli <operation> ...is equivalent touxc mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp <operation> ....- If link setup is temporarily unavailable, use direct
uxc mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp ...calls as fallback.
