Deepseek MCP Server

DeepSeek MCP Server

Model Context Protocol server for the current DeepSeek V4 API.

As of April 24, 2026, DeepSeek's public API reference documents:

• POST /chat/completions with deepseek-v4-flash and deepseek-v4-pro
• POST /beta/completions for V4 Pro FIM completion
• GET /models
• GET /user/balance

This server exposes only those documented API surfaces. It does not ship a V4 monitor, speculative image/video/upload tools, or automatic model substitution.

Tools

• chat_completion: DeepSeek V4 chat. Defaults to deepseek-v4-flash. Supports thinking: { "type": "enabled" | "disabled" }, reasoning_effort: "high" | "max", JSON output, function tools, logprobs, streaming, and conversation memory.
• completion: DeepSeek V4 Pro FIM completion. Defaults to deepseek-v4-pro.
• list_models: Reads the live DeepSeek model list.
• get_user_balance: Reads account balance and availability.
• reset_conversation: Clears an in-memory conversation.
• list_conversations: Lists in-memory conversation IDs.

Local Stdio

Docker:

docker pull docker.io/dmontgomery40/deepseek-mcp-server:0.5.0
docker run --rm -i -e DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="REPLACE_WITH_DEEPSEEK_KEY" docker.io/dmontgomery40/deepseek-mcp-server:0.5.0

Environment

Required:

DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=your-api-key

Optional:

DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL=https://api.deepseek.com
DEEPSEEK_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS=120000
DEEPSEEK_DEFAULT_MODEL=deepseek-v4-flash
MCP_TRANSPORT=stdio
MCP_HTTP_HOST=127.0.0.1
MCP_HTTP_PORT=3001
MCP_HTTP_PATH=/mcp
MCP_HTTP_STATEFUL_SESSION=false
CONVERSATION_MAX_MESSAGES=200

Verification

npm run build
npm test
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="REPLACE_WITH_DEEPSEEK_KEY" npm run test:live
DEEPSEEK_MCP_AUTH_TOKEN="REPLACE_WITH_TOKEN" npm run test:remote

The live smoke test performs real DeepSeek requests for model listing, balance, non-thinking chat, thinking streaming chat with reasoning_content, FIM completion, and MCP tool calls.
