🛠 Usage
Starting the Server
The server automatically starts when used with Claude Desktop. Ensure Claude Desktop is configured to detect the MCP server.Example Workflow
1. Claude receives a query requiring advanced reasoning. 2. The query is forwarded to DeepSeek R1 for processing. 3. DeepSeek R1 returns structured reasoning wrapped in<ant_thinking> tags.
4. Claude integrates the reasoning into its final response.
