Quickstart

Add DeepWiki to Portkey MCP Gateway and connect it to Claude.

This quickstart covers:

1. Adding the DeepWiki MCP server to your organization’s MCP Registry
2. Getting your MCP connection URL from your workspace
3. Using the URL in Claude (Desktop / Code) via MCP configuration

Who does what: MCP integrations can be added by org admin and members. The MCP server can be used by workspace admin, manager, and members.

1) Add DeepWiki to MCP Registry

1. Open MCP Registry

   Go to MCP Registry in your org settings, then click Add Server.

   
2. Fill in the server details

   Enter the following:

   Field	Value
   Name	deepwiki-test-mcp-server
   Short Description	A short note about the MCP Integration
   URL	https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp
   Slug	deepwiki-test-mcp-server
   Server Type	Http
   Auth Type	None

   DeepWiki is a public MCP server that doesn’t require authentication, so set Auth Type to None. Learn more about DeepWiki MCP.

   The form includes Workspace Provisioning settings. Select the workspace(s) that should have access to this MCP server.

   
3. Test & save

   Click Test Connection, then Add Server.

2) Get Your Connection URL

Once enabled, go to the MCP page in your workspace sidebar and copy the DeepWiki connection URL.

The URL will look like:

https://mcp.portkey.ai/deepwiki-test-mcp-server/mcp

---

3) Use the URL in Claude (Desktop / Code)

Add a new MCP server that points to the Portkey URL. You have two authentication options:

OAuth (Recommended)

The simplest setup—just the URL, no credentials to manage:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepwiki": {
      "url": "https://mcp.portkey.ai/deepwiki-test-mcp-server/mcp"
    }
  }
}

On first use, Claude will prompt you to authenticate with Portkey via OAuth 2.1. After you log in, your session is stored and refreshed automatically.

Best for: Interactive use in Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code. No API keys to create, rotate, or accidentally leak.

API Key

For programmatic access or when you prefer explicit credentials:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepwiki": {
      "url": "https://mcp.portkey.ai/deepwiki-test-mcp-server/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <PORTKEY_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get your Portkey API key at app.portkey.ai/api-keys. Use a workspace API key with mcp invoke permissions.

Best for: CI/CD pipelines, backend services, or automated agents where interactive OAuth isn’t possible.

Even though DeepWiki doesn’t require authentication to the upstream server, you still need to authenticate with Portkey (via OAuth or API key) to access the server through the gateway.

Next Steps

Add MCP Servers

Add internal and external MCP servers, configure authentication, and control access.

Using MCP Servers

Connect MCP clients like Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, or build your own integration.

Team Provisioning

Control which teams and users can access which MCP servers and tools.

Observability

Monitor and debug MCP tool calls with full context and logs.
