Overview

This MCP server delegates routine coding tasks, file operations, and web research from Claude Code to DeepSeek models to significantly reduce API costs.

Installation

Run Command
node /absolute/path/to/deepseek-mcp-server/dist/index.js

Environment Variables

  • DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
  • BRAVE_API_KEY
  • DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL

Security Notes

The project demonstrates good security practices by loading API keys from environment variables and not hardcoding them. A critical security measure is the `validatePath` function in `src/tools.ts` which prevents path traversal attacks, ensuring all file system operations (`read_file`, `write_file`, `edit_file`, `list_dir`, `grep`) are strictly sandboxed within the specified working directory. The `run_bash` tool, while inherently risky due to executing arbitrary shell commands, operates within this same sandboxed environment, mitigating the most severe external access risks. However, an adversarial prompt could potentially instruct the LLM to perform malicious actions within the sandboxed directory, which is a common risk with agentic systems.
