What is it?

OpenDeepWiki imports repositories from Git URLs, uploaded ZIP archives, or approved local directories, then uses configured LLM providers to generate README summaries, project overviews, wiki catalogs, and document content. The output is published as public repository pages with routes such as /{owner}/{repo}, along with mind maps and optional Graphify artifacts.

The same indexed content is reused across the built-in chat assistant, embedded chat APIs, share links, and repository-scoped MCP endpoints, so AI clients can query a specific project. An admin console manages repositories, users, roles, API keys, AI providers and models, MCP providers, and GitHub App imports, while background workers handle translation, mind map generation, and scheduled incremental updates.

The backend is ASP.NET Core on .NET 10 with a Next.js 16 frontend, and it stores data in SQLite or PostgreSQL. Deployment is supported through Docker Compose, with an optional Sealos setup.
