Compare two AI tools side by side
Put any two skills or MCP servers next to each other: risk grade, what each can access, how popular it is, and how to install it.
| What | deepseek-websearch-mcp | deepseek-mcp-server |
|---|---|---|
| Risk grade | DD · High risk signals Based on public adoption and transparency signals as of Oct 25, 2026. Our opinion, not a code audit or security guarantee. | CC · Moderate risk signals Based on public adoption and transparency signals as of Oct 21, 2026. Our opinion, not a code audit or security guarantee. |
| Type | App connector | App connector |
| Est. context load | ~700 tokens / turn (~4 tool schemas, 0.35% of 200k context) | ~850 tokens / turn (~5 tool schemas, 0.43% of 200k context) |
| GitHub stars | — | 359 |
| Weekly npm downloads | 687 | 453 |
| Local files | No local folder access noted | No local folder access noted |
| Command execution | No shell command runner noted | No shell command runner noted |
| Network reach | Local or standard API calls | Connects to outside service API |
| Credentials | No API token required | Requires API key or token |
| Package source | npm (deepseek-websearch-mcp) | npm (deepseek-mcp-server) |
| Install command | npx -y deepseek-websearch-mcp | npx -y deepseek-mcp-server |
| Bottom line | Signal-based grade (1/7 points): public source code. This reflects adoption and transparency, not a code review. | Main risk is API key theft and unexpected costs from uncontrolled requests, plus data sharing with DeepSeek's servers; safe if you trust your local machine and monitor your API usage. |
