What it does

Deepwiki MCP Skill is an agent skill from holon-run/uxc. Ask questions and read documentation about any GitHub repository using DeepWiki MCP. Use when you need to understand a codebase, find specific APIs, or get context about a repository.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/usage-patterns.md` and `scripts/validate.sh`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: A unified CLI for discovering and invoking tools across OpenAPI, MCP, GraphQL, gRPC, and JSON-RPC. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

You need to understand a codebase
Find specific APIs
Get context about a repository

Example prompts

“/deepwiki-mcp-skill”

Requirements

A Bash shell

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Use fixed link command by default
Ask a question about a repository
Read wiki structure
Read wiki contents

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 562d47c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- brew
- curl
- bash
- cargo
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- deepwiki.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Deepwiki MCP Skill loads about 700 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 230 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~700
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

The full file from holon-run/uxc at commit 562d47c, republished under its MIT licence (© holon-run). 230 words, ~700 tokens.

DeepWiki Skill

Use this skill to query GitHub repository documentation and ask questions about codebases.

Prerequisites

uxc is installed and available in PATH.
Network access to mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp

Note: Repositories must be indexed on DeepWiki first. Visit https://deepwiki.com to index a repository.

Install uxc

Choose one of the following methods:

Homebrew (macOS/Linux):

bash

brew tap holon-run/homebrew-tap
brew install uxc

Install Script (macOS/Linux, review before running):

less install-uxc.sh
bash install-uxc.sh

Cargo:

bash

cargo install uxc

Core Workflow

Use fixed link command by default:
- command -v deepwiki-mcp-cli
- If missing, create it: uxc link deepwiki-mcp-cli mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp
- deepwiki-mcp-cli -h
- If command conflict is detected and cannot be safely reused, stop and ask skill maintainers to pick a different fixed command name.
Ask a question about a repository:
- deepwiki-mcp-cli ask_question repoName=owner/repo question='your question'
Read wiki structure:
- deepwiki-mcp-cli read_wiki_structure repoName=owner/repo
Read wiki contents:
- deepwiki-mcp-cli read_wiki_contents repoName=owner/repo

Available Tools

ask_question: Ask any question about a GitHub repository and get an AI-powered response
read_wiki_structure: Get a list of documentation topics for a repository
read_wiki_contents: View documentation about a repository

Usage Examples

Ask about a codebase

bash

deepwiki-mcp-cli ask_question repoName=facebook/react question='How does useState work?'

Explore repository structure

bash

deepwiki-mcp-cli read_wiki_structure '{"repoName":"facebook/react"}'

Read documentation

bash

deepwiki-mcp-cli read_wiki_contents repoName=facebook/react

Output Parsing

The response is an MCP JSON envelope. Extract the content from .data.content[].text.
