🛠 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.
