Ask wiki question

An MCP tool from the DeepWiki server, run by Cognition.

Ask any question about a GitHub repository's codebase and get an AI-powered answer grounded in its DeepWiki.

Name on the gateway: deepwiki__ask_wiki_question.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`repoName` required	`mixed`	GitHub repository or list of repositories (max 10) in owner/repo format.
`question` required	`string`	The question to ask about the repository.

Through the Smart Gateway, any client can run it by name with call_tool, or let the gateway find it with search_tools:

call_tool arguments

{
  "name": "deepwiki__ask_wiki_question",
  "arguments": {
    "repoName": "…",
    "question": "…"
  }
}

The first call connects DeepWiki to your account automatically; nothing to set up. About this server.
