# DeepCode > A GitHub repository named DeepCode that hosts source code and related project materials under the HKUDS organization. ## DeepCode (HKUDS) — open-source agentic coding for **Paper2Code**, **Text2Web**, and **Text2Backend** DeepCode is an open-source **multi-agent coding framework** that turns **research papers**, **natural-language requirements**, and **URLs** into runnable codebases—covering algorithm reproduction, frontend web apps, and backend services. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} ### What you can build with it - **Paper2Code** — converts algorithms/methods from papers into implementation code (paper → code). :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} - **Text2Web** — generates functional front-end web code from a plain-text description (spec → UI). :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} - **Text2Backend** — generates scalable back-end code from text requirements (spec → server). :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3} ### How it works (developer view) DeepCode describes a **self-orchestrating agent pipeline** (planning → repo/reference mining + indexing → implementation → testing/docs) and connects to external tools via **MCP (Model Context Protocol)** for things like web search, file ops, and repo handling. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4} ### Quick start (local) - Install: `pip install deepcode-hku` :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5} - Configure: download `mcp_agent.config.yaml` + `mcp_agent.secrets.yaml` and add your model API keys (OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini, etc.). :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6} - Run: `deepcode` starts the local web UI (defaults to `http://localhost:8501`). :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7} - Interfaces: **Web UI (Streamlit)** + **CLI** are both supported. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8} ### Benchmarks + paper The repo reports evaluation on **OpenAI’s PaperBench** (ICML 2024 paper reproduction benchmark) and ties into the associated research paper (“DeepCode: Open Agentic Coding”). :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9} ## Features - Source code repository - Repository-based documentation and examples ## Platforms WEB ## Pricing Open Source ## Links - Website: https://github.com/HKUDS/DeepCode - Repository: https://github.com/HKUDS/DeepCode - EveryDev.ai: https://www.everydev.ai/tools/deepcode
