DeepWiki MCP

DeepWiki MCP is a simple tool selector that lets you run any of the available DeepWiki MCP tools directly from your Nappai dashboard. Just pick the tool you need from the dropdown, and the component will execute it for you.

How it Works

The component is built on top of DeepWikiMCPBase, which already knows how to talk to the DeepWiki MCP services. When you drop the component into your workflow, it shows a dropdown list of all the tools that DeepWiki MCP offers. After you choose one, the component calls that tool’s API and returns the result. No extra configuration is required – the component handles all the underlying calls for you.

Inputs

  • Tool: Select the tool to execute.
    This dropdown lists every DeepWiki MCP tool that is available. Pick the one that matches the task you want to perform.

Outputs

The component outputs the raw result from the selected DeepWiki MCP tool. This can be a text string, a JSON object, or any data format that the tool returns. You can feed this output into other components in your workflow, such as a text‑analysis step, a database writer, or a notification sender.

Usage Example

  1. Add the component to your workflow.
  2. Choose a tool from the “Tool” dropdown – for example, “Search Knowledge Base”.
  3. Connect the output to the next component, such as a “Display Result” block or a “Send Email” block.
  4. Run the workflow. The selected DeepWiki MCP tool will execute, and its output will be available for downstream steps.
  • DeepWikiMCPBase – The underlying base class that handles the API communication.
  • DeepWikiMCP – The same component with a different name used in other Nappai integrations.
  • DeepWiki Query – A specialized component for running search queries against the DeepWiki knowledge base.

Tips and Best Practices

  • Choose the right tool: Each DeepWiki MCP tool is designed for a specific task (search, summarise, update, etc.). Pick the one that matches your goal.
  • Check the output format: Some tools return JSON, others plain text. Make sure the next component in your workflow can handle the format.
  • Use descriptive names: When you add the component, give it a clear name like “DeepWiki Search” so you can easily identify it later.
  • Test with small data: Run the component with a simple query first to confirm it works before integrating it into a larger workflow.

Security Considerations

  • The component communicates with external DeepWiki MCP services, so any credentials or API keys used by the base class should be stored securely in Nappai’s credential manager.
  • Avoid exposing sensitive data in the output if it will be sent to untrusted destinations.
  • If you’re using the component in a production environment, monitor its usage to detect any unexpected calls or errors.
