FAQ from DeepSeek MCP-like Server for Terminal

Is this a fully compliant MCP server?

No, this is a prototype and not fully compliant with the Anthropic MCP definition. It requires further enhancements for production use.

What are the prerequisites for running this server?

You need Python 3.8+, pip, and a valid DeepSeek API key.

How do I configure my DeepSeek API key?

Update the DEEPSEEK_API_KEY in the .env file with your API key.

What are the available MCP endpoints?

The server provides /mcp/list_tools and /mcp/call_tool endpoints for tool discovery and invocation.

What are the future improvements planned for this project?

Future improvements include implementing JSON-RPC, adding SSE for real-time updates, enhancing session management and security, and modularizing the code architecture.
