Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
DeepSeek-Claude MCP ServerCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Install via Smithery with npx -y @smithery/cli install @HarshJ23/deepseek-claude-MCP-server --client claude or manually by cloning the repository, setting up a Python 3.12+ environment with uv, installing dependencies (mcp[cli] and httpx), obtaining a DeepSeek API key, and configuring the claude_desktop_config.json file. The server runs automatically when used with Claude Desktop. When Claude receives a complex query, it forwards it to DeepSeek R1, which returns structured reasoning inside <ant_thinking> tags, and Claude integrates that reasoning into its final response.
Claude Desktop / Cursor

Configure MCP ServerEdit theclaude_desktop_config.jsonfile to include the following configuration:
{ "mcpServers": { "deepseek-claude": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "C:\\ABSOLUTE\\PATH\\TO\\PARENT\\FOLDER\\deepseek-claude", "run", "server.py" ] } } }
- Restart Claude Desktop.
-
Verify the tools icon is visible in the interface.
If the server isn’t visible, consult thetroubleshooting guide.
The server automatically starts when used with Claude Desktop. Ensure Claude Desktop is configured to detect the MCP server.
- Claude receives a query requiring advanced reasoning.
- The query is forwarded to DeepSeek R1 for processing.
- DeepSeek R1 returns structured reasoning wrapped in<ant_thinking>tags.
- Claude integrates the reasoning into its final response.
