Best for
  • Developers using MCP clients such as Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, or Windsurf
  • Users who want DeepSeek V4 models inside their local agent tooling
  • Teams that need cost tracking and usage statistics
  • Users wanting a hosted BYOK endpoint with no installation
  • Engineering teams scaling AI coding agents while controlling spend
  • Platform teams that need auditable, rollback-aware agent execution records
  • Organizations using multiple agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini) under one governed flow
Not for
  • Users seeking official DeepSeek support channels (this is community-maintained)
  • Users without a DeepSeek API key
  • Users needing other LLM providers such as OpenAI or Anthropic
  • Developers who just want a simple code-completion helper without run governance
  • Teams unwilling to accept local JSONL run records with HMAC signing
  • Environments without a supported adapter (Claude/Codex/Gemini CLIs, direct provider, or verifier-only)
Required permissions
  • DEEPSEEK_API_KEY environment variable (secret) is required
  • API usage costs billed via your DeepSeek API key
  • Self-hosted HTTP mode requires an open network port (binds 127.0.0.1 by default)
  • Read/write access to the configured repo root (writable scope restrictable via --allow-path/--deny-path)
  • Ability to invoke the chosen agent CLI (Claude/Codex/Gemini, etc.) and its underlying model account
  • Local disk writes for run records, receipts, and share outputs (share/run-receipt., etc.)
  • Execution of user-configured verifier commands (e.g. npm test)
Risks and side effects
  • If the HTTP endpoint is exposed, anyone who can reach POST /mcp can spend your API key; set HTTP_AUTH_TOKEN when binding 0.0.0.0
  • Thinking mode can exceed 30 seconds and client tool-call timeouts may interrupt long requests
  • Costs accrue per request and grow with usage
  • Deprecated model aliases deepseek-chat/deepseek-reasoner will be removed in the next major release
  • Verifier commands are executed; poorly chosen verifier commands carry security risk despite preflight policy checks
  • Cost and token figures may be estimates (labeled with provenance) and should not be treated as settled accounting
  • Receipt integrity must be verified before use as trustworthy evidence; missing rollback evidence is flagged as EVIDENCE_BOUNDARY
  • Policy defaults come from martin.config.yaml and can be overridden by CLI flags; misconfiguration can loosen safety boundaries
