Officialby CognitionHosted, nothing to installChecked October 18, 2026
DeepWiki MCP, run by Cognition (the company behind Devin), answers questions about public GitHub repositories using the wiki pages DeepWiki generates for them. It is free and needs no account, while private repositories require a Devin account and its separate MCP server.
Who it is for
- Developers evaluating or adopting open-source libraries
