Complete write authority is not verified.
Installation, client compatibility and comprehensive security have not been independently audited. Authentication and access depend on the configured services.
Upstream credential and permission scopes must be validated before runtime use.
Precise setup/auth/permissions not verified
Write actions/tool inventory not confirmed against exact tool documentation; listed action classes remain illustrative or context-dependent. Empty inventory does not establish read-only.
Some integration/runtime instructions are not confirmed from a first-party install guide and therefore intentionally omitted.

Install & Agents

Claude Code

Publisher instructions with a documented client setup path.

Source evidence observed Oct 12, 2026.

Additional setup details required — see the specific gaps below.

Install / connect
Publisher instructions
Requires Node.js 20+ and an active DeepSeek API key. Register deepseek-mcp-server@1 in one chosen MCP client; the key placeholder MUST be replaced privately, not committed.
claude mcp add deepseek --env DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="REPLACE_WITH_DEEPSEEK_KEY" -- npx -y deepseek-mcp-server@1
Configure / authenticate
Publisher instructions
Obtain a DeepSeek API key and substitute the placeholder without committing secrets.
Check connection
Suggested check
Restart or refresh the client. Inspect the deepseek registration and advertised tools. The documented list_models tool can be used for non-mutating discovery; account/API auth is still required. Avoid upload_file/delete_file or paid generation as a basic connection test. Client registration check: `claude mcp get deepseek` (checks registration; inspect tools/read-only calls separately to verify authenticated service access).
Remove / uninstall / revoke
MCP100 setup guide
Remove the matching MCP configuration from the client. This does not uninstall the local package or revoke provider credentials. Client disconnect (claude-code, only if registered using the name `deepseek`): `claude mcp remove deepseek`. This unregisters the client entry; it does not uninstall packages or revoke remote service credentials.
claude mcp remove deepseek

FAQ

Based on reviewed evidence as of 2026-10-10T03:38:00Z. Watchlist tracking is not a recommendation or a security certification.

Which tasks are documented for this implementation?

The reviewed tasks include: DeepSeek model calls via MCP.

What setup and authentication are documented?

A complete connection procedure is not verified. Client notes: Installation command omitted unless verified or clearly package-specific; do not infer npx/uvx entrypoints. These facts do not supply missing installation commands, credentials or a verified authentication procedure. Authentication: Refer to first-party setup documentation; do not infer authorization from package existence.

Can it modify data or perform write operations?

Not verified. The available evidence does not establish the complete write authority. Recorded permission context: User prompts transmitted to DeepSeek API; avoid confidential content.

What data-handling boundary should I consider?

prompts and model responses Recorded sensitive-access context: prompts and model responses.

What limitations and risks should I check before use?

User prompts transmitted to DeepSeek API; avoid confidential content. Some integration/runtime instructions are not confirmed from a first-party install guide and therefore intentionally omitted.
