Best for
  • Developers integrating DeepSeek V4.1 Flash into MCP clients
  • Chat or analysis workflows that combine text and image inputs
  • Users who want to self-host the server over stdio or a local streamable-http endpoint
  • 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 who need image, video, or audio generation (this server is image understanding only)
  • Users looking for an officially DeepSeek-maintained server
  • Environments without a DeepSeek API key or network access to the DeepSeek API
  • 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
  • Requires the DEEPSEEK_API_KEY environment variable to make upstream DeepSeek API requests
  • The hosted endpoint at https://deepseek-mcp.ragweld.com/mcp requires Authorization: Bearer <token>
  • upload_file sends base64 image data that is stored by DeepSeek under your account
  • Local streamable-http mode binds a host and port and can enforce an origin allowlist via MCP_HTTP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS
  • 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
  • Data uploaded via upload_file is stored by DeepSeek under your account and persists unless you set an expiry or call delete_file; expiry must be between 3,600 and 2,592,000 seconds
  • Uploads are limited to 64 MiB and signature-checked before upload; upload_file does not accept local file paths and does not fetch arbitrary URLs on the server
  • Conversation memory lives in the process, is cleared on restart, and is bounded by CONVERSATION_MAX_MESSAGES
  • The hosted deployment has its own release cycle and may lag the npm/GitHub release, so inspect tools/list before relying on a new tool
  • This server is community-maintained and is not an official DeepSeek 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
