Deepin MCP

What is Deepin MCP?

Deepin MCP is a Python client for connecting to MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers (Python or JavaScript) and interacting with them using OpenAI language models. It runs on systems with Python 3.12+ and is aimed at developers and power users who want to automate tasks via natural‑language queries.

How to use Deepin MCP?

Install dependencies (Python 3.12+, OpenAI API key, optional UV package manager), clone the repository, create a .env file with your API key and model choice, then run python client.py path/to/server.py or uv run python client.py path/to/server.py. For complex multi‑step requests, use python main.py (or uv run python main.py) to activate the task planning system. Type quit to exit interactive mode.

FAQ from Deepin MCP

What OpenAI models are supported?

You can specify any OpenAI model via the MODEL environment variable in your .env file; the default is gpt-3.5-turbo. Models available through the OpenAI API (including GPT‑4) are supported.

Can I connect to JavaScript MCP servers?

Yes. Run the client with python client.py path/to/server.js (or uv run python client.py path/to/server.js) to connect to a JavaScript MCP server.

Is Deepin MCP free to use?

Yes, it is released under the MIT License. You do need a valid OpenAI API key, which may incur usage costs from OpenAI.

Do I need an OpenAI API key?

Yes. Place it in a .env file as OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key. The client will not function without it.

What if the client fails to connect or crashes?

Check your .env file for correct API key, verify the server script path is correct, ensure the server implements the MCP protocol correctly, and that all required dependencies are installed. Console error messages usually indicate the specific issue.
