What is DeepView MCP?
DeepView MCP is a server that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows IDEs like Cursor and Windsurf to leverage the large context window of Gemini models to analyze and query large codebases.
How to use DeepView MCP?
- Install the server using pip (
pip install deepview-mcp). 2. Configure your IDE (Cursor/Windsurf) to use the DeepView MCP server, providing the path to the executable and your Gemini API key. 3. Prepare your codebase as a single text file, potentially using repomix. 4. Use the IDE's MCP integration to query the codebase.
