Use Piply with DeepSeek

Use DeepSeek models in an MCP-capable client such as OpenCode to work with your Piply courses. This guide uses OpenCode's documented DeepSeek provider and remote MCP support.

This guide uses a DeepSeek model through OpenCode. It does not set up the DeepSeek chat app.

Illustrative prompt. After connecting, check the source references and any saved result in Piply. This example is not a record of a completed tool call.

Account access and review

Sign-in authorizes the connection to your Piply account under the permissions you approve. Asking about one file does not restrict access to that file. Review the host’s tool controls and check generated content against your materials. Disconnecting does not retract information already sent to the host.

Use the OpenCode setup guide to configure and authenticate Piply.

What you need

  • A DeepSeek API key for the tools below.
  • A Piply account (free).

How to use DeepSeek with Piply

Documentation checked . Official setup documentation. OpenCode MCP documentation.

  1. 1 Install OpenCode, then run /connect and select DeepSeek.
  2. 2 Enter your DeepSeek API key, then use /models to select a model that supports tool use.
  3. 3 Follow the OpenCode guide on this site to add Piply as a remote MCP server and authenticate it.
  4. 4 Ask OpenCode with your selected DeepSeek model: What can Piply do here?

Your DeepSeek API key pays for model usage. Piply's OAuth sign-in is separate and grants access to your Piply account.

This is a model-through-OpenCode setup. It does not configure a connector in the DeepSeek chat app.

What DeepSeek models can do with Piply

These tasks need a client that can call the relevant Piply tools and your approved permissions. Saving requires a course you created; shared and public courses are read-only. Ask the host to use Piply, then check its response and any saved result.

  • Find source material Search course materials and request page references you can check.
  • Make and save quizzes Request a quiz from selected pages, then check its questions and saved lessons in Piply.
  • Save flashcards Successfully saved flashcard sets join spaced-repetition reviews in Piply. Ask the host to save the set and check its link.
  • Save study resources Request study notes, mind maps, word searches or anagram games and check the saved result.
  • Check review priorities Request due reviews, recorded weak topics and Piply’s suggested next study step.
