DeepWiki MCP server

DeepWiki × Cursor

Use the DeepWiki MCP server
in Cursor

Ask questions about any public GitHub repo's documentation and architecture. This guide connects DeepWiki to Cursor (the AI code editor) through a governed gateway — one URL that also works in every other MCP client you use, with your rules and a full log attached.

Live-probed · Security-scanned · No sign-in required

Setup: DeepWiki in Cursor

Cursor adds MCP servers via MCP settings or install deep links. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Connect DeepWiki to your free gate gateway from the verified directory.
  2. On your gate overview, click 'Add to Cursor' — Cursor opens and asks to install the gateway.
  3. Confirm and approve the sign-in.
  4. DeepWiki's tools are now available to Cursor's agent, governed by your rules.

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same DeepWiki connection works in Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, VS Code too — no per-client re-wiring.

Rules before regret

Allow, ask, or block every tool DeepWiki exposes — reads can flow freely while writes require your approval.

Every call logged

A plain-language activity log of everything Cursor did with DeepWiki — searchable, exportable, auditable.

Scanned and probed

DeepWiki passed a live handshake probe and a security scan before listing — and drift detection watches it after you connect.
