dsh-mcp-bridge

Curated, verified MCP server bundle for DeepSeek Harness (dsh).

One install gives your dsh agent a set of battle-tested MCP servers — not a raw YAML you have to figure out. Every curated server has a machine-readable definition in servers/, and scripts/verify-servers.mjs checks each one's connectivity, so "verified" is a CI-guaranteed claim, not marketing.

Tools appear to the model as mcp__<serverName>__<toolName> (same server-qualified shape as Claude Code / Codex). The bridge itself is DSH's built-in @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client: stdio + streamable-http, auto-reconnect, HMR hot-swap.

Quick start

Prereqs: dsh and pnpm on PATH (dsh plugin forwards to pnpm; install with npm i -g pnpm).

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mcp-bridge
# local checkout:  dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-mcp-bridge
dsh web        # restart the profile

The demo server (MCP official everything) is enabled by default — no API key, pure local npx. After restart, ask your model to "call the everything server's echo tool with hello" and it should use mcp__everything__echo.

First run downloads the server packages via npx; subsequent runs are cached.

Curated catalog

Server	What it gives you	Config needed	Verified
everything	Demo tools: echo, add, long-running ops, tiny image	none (default on)	✅ 13 tools
memory	In-session knowledge graph (entities/relations)	none	✅ 9 tools
filesystem	File read/write/search, scoped to explicit roots	root dir (edit args)	✅ 14 tools (given a real dir)
github	Repos / issues / PRs	GITHUB_TOKEN	⏸ needs config
playwright	Browser automation (navigate/click/screenshot)	first-run browser download	⏸ heavy, excluded from CI
remote-http	Your own / hosted HTTP MCP server	URL (+ optional token)	⏸ needs config

To enable a commented preset, uncomment its block in the profile's cordis.patch.yml (hot-reloaded via HMR) or edit cordis.patch.yml in this package.

Verify the catalog yourself

npm install          # brings @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client → the MCP SDK
npm run verify       # or: node scripts/verify-servers.mjs

Prints PASS / SKIP / FAIL per server; exits non-zero on any failure. VERIFY_TIMEOUT_MS=15000 tunes the per-server timeout. Single-server troubleshooting: node scripts/probe-server.mjs npx -y your-mcp-server.

Adding your own MCP server

Each server is one @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client entry. Either add it to the profile's user patch layer (recommended, HMR applies it without restart):

# $DSH_HOME/profiles/<name>/cordis.patch.yml
- id: mcp-myserver
  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client'
  config:
    serverName: myserver          # namespace, unique per process ([A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,32})
    transport: stdio              # or streamable-http
    command: npx
    args: ['-y', 'your-mcp-server']
    env:
      YOUR_TOKEN: !!js process.env.YOUR_TOKEN

…or drop a definition into servers/ (so verify covers it) and add the matching entry to cordis.patch.yml here.

Config fields (from dsh-mcp-client)

Field	Transports	Required	Meaning
transport	both	yes	"stdio" or "streamable-http"
serverName	both	yes	tool namespace, unique among live instances
command / args / env / cwd	stdio	command yes	child process spec
url / headers	http	url yes	endpoint + auth headers
toolCallTimeoutMs	both	no	per-call timeout, default 60000
failOnStartupError	both	no	reject activation on connect failure (default false)
reconnect.*	both	no	auto-reconnect backoff (default on)

Linking up with Reasonix / CodeWhale

All three are agent harnesses — MCP is the shared language. Any server you run for Reasonix or CodeWhale can be added here, and a local streamable-http server you own can serve DSH, Reasonix and CodeWhale from one process. See servers/remote-http.json.

Troubleshooting (Windows)

• Headless verification hangs (dsh --profile <name> "task"): the profile needs @deepseek-ai/dsh-headless in dsh.profile.bundles (add it manually; dsh plugin add @deepseek-ai/dsh-headless fails with 404 on its unpublished dependency). Without it the tree activates but no agent consumes the task.
• npx is fine on Windows: the MCP SDK uses cross-spawn, which resolves .cmd shims — no npx.exe needed.
• Server connects but no tools: check the profile logs; failOnStartupError: false means the entry activates without tools on failure.

Releasing (npm)

1. npm version patch (or bump package.json manually), commit, tag vX.Y.Z.
2. git push origin main --tags.
3. GitHub Actions (publish.yml) publishes to npm — requires npm trusted publisher (OIDC) linked to the repo. Setup: npm → Access Tokens → Generate new token → Publish with GitHub Actions.

Give the repo the GitHub topic dsh-plugin so it shows up in the community lists (awesome-dsh-plugin, WhaleHub).
