# Researching with DeepWiki
Research and understand codebases using the DeepWiki MCP server.
## MCP Server Setup
Add to your Claude Code settings:
```bash
claude mcp add -s user -t http deepwiki https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp
```
Or add to `settings.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"deepwiki": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp"
}
}
}
```
### Private Repositories
For private repos, use the Devin.ai endpoint with authentication:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"deepwiki": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.devin.ai/deepwiki/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_DEVIN_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
```

"What design patterns are used in github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python?"
```
