Step-by-step

  1. Add to .vscode/mcp.json
    Use the deeplink or paste the servers JSON above into .vscode/mcp.json.
  2. Authorize
    No authentication needed โ€” DeepWiki MCP is public.
  3. Use in Copilot Chat
    Open Copilot Chat in agent mode โ€” the server's tools appear in the tools menu. Verify in the browser: paste https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp into remotemcp.net/inspector and run initialize + tools/list.

Troubleshooting OAuth / 401

  • A 401 Unauthorized on first connect is normal โ€” the endpoint is OAuth-protected; let VS Code finish the browser consent flow.
  • If the consent window never opens, remove and re-add the server, then retry.
  • Check the exact challenge at our OAuth debugger.
  • Run the live endpoint through the online inspector to see the raw JSON-RPC exchange.
