FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting DeepSeek
Can Claude compare answers against DeepSeek models?
Yes. With a DeepSeek connection shared to a Space, the agent can run a DeepSeek chat completion and compare it with Claude's own answer in the same thread.
How do I authenticate DeepSeek in type.com?
DeepSeek uses an API key, added once by an admin when the connection is created.
Can DeepSeek balance checks run on a schedule?
Yes. A recurring balance check can be set up as a type.com automation that alerts a channel if it runs low.
Is this the same as a DeepSeek MCP server?
Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
