dsh-gateway-provider

中文文档：README.zh.md

Bring any LLM gateway — newapi, LiteLLM, Higress, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — into DeepSeek Harness. The plugin discovers the gateway's model list automatically, enriches every model with real parameters from models.dev, and serves each model over its native wire protocol (OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini) through the pi-ai SDK.

Why this exists

DeepSeek Harness ships first-party adapters (llm-deepseek, llm-pi-ai) that each speak for one provider. If your models live behind a gateway, the alternative is a hand-maintained static model list with guessed context windows and output caps.

This plugin mounts the gateway itself: N gateways become N provider routes, with zero static model lists. Every model keeps its true parameters, and adding a model on the gateway side is enough — nothing to re-deploy.

What you get

• Multiple gateways — a default newapi route plus one gateway:<id> route per extra gateway, each with its own catalog cache.
• Automatic discovery — GET {base}/v1/models first (including each model's supported request formats), management API fallback second.
• Real parameters — models.dev data fills context window, output cap, reasoning levels, and release date; config defaults are only a fallback.
• Every wire format — each model routes to its own protocol (openai-completions / openai-responses / anthropic-messages / google-generative-ai); no hand-written SSE or request serialization.
• A settings page — Settings → Gateway Models: add and edit gateways from templates, test connections, hide / override / custom-add models — no YAML editing required.
• A clean picker — newest-first release-date sorting, chat-only filtering, and regex excludes for non-chat models.

Requirements

• A DeepSeek Harness installation with a profile (dsh)
• A reachable gateway: newapi / LiteLLM / Higress / any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
• An API key for that gateway

Quickstart

1. Install the plugin into your profile — straight from GitHub, no clone needed:

   dsh plugin --profile web add git+https://github.com/Luck9Star/dsh-gateway-provider.git
   

   dsh plugin add forwards to pnpm add in the profile directory, so any pnpm spec works (github:Luck9Star/dsh-gateway-provider, a local path, …). The bundle patch (cordis.patch.yml) then mounts the llm-newapi loader row automatically — no manual patch editing. The bare package name will resolve once the package is published to npm.

2. Store your gateway key in $DSH_HOME/.credentials.yaml (mode 0600, hot-reloaded):

   NEWAPI_API_KEY: sk-REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_KEY
   

   Or export NEWAPI_API_KEY in the launching environment.

3. Restart the profile, then open Settings → Gateway Models.

Success looks like: the gateway appears with a "synced N models" badge, and every chat-capable model is selectable with its real context window. The base URL resolves from llm-newapi.baseURL settings → NEWAPI_BASE_URL / NEWAPI_API_URL env → the public default https://api.newapi.ai.

Add more gateways

Extra gateways live in the gateways array — each becomes its own gateway:<id> provider route:

llm-newapi:
  baseURL: https://your-newapi-instance.com
  gateways:
    - id: litellm-prod
      label: LiteLLM Prod
      baseURL: https://litellm.example.com
      apiKeyEnv: LITELLM_API_KEY
      flavor: litellm            # form template: newapi / litellm / higress / openai-compatible / custom

    # Fully-custom gateway: complete per-protocol endpoint URLs, no shared
    # base. A protocol left empty stays disabled.
    - id: edge
      label: Edge GW
      flavor: custom
      openaiURL: https://edge.example.com/openai/v1/chat/completions
      responsesURL: https://edge.example.com/openai/v1/responses
      anthropicURL: https://edge.example.com/anthropic/v1/messages
      apiKeyEnv: EDGE_API_KEY

You can also add gateways from the settings page (with the same templates) instead of editing YAML.

Control the model list per gateway

Hide models, fix wrong metadata, or add models the gateway does not list:

llm-newapi:
  models:
    - id: glm-5.2
      disabled: true              # hide from picker
    - id: glm-5.2-highspeed
      contextWindow: 1000000      # override discovered value
      protocol: openai            # force protocol (openai/anthropic/gemini/openai-response)
    - id: my-internal-model       # custom model the gateway does not list
      name: My Internal Model
      contextWindow: 200000

The Gateway Models page exposes the same operations with a UI: search, hidden/custom filters with counts, a per-model override editor (placeholders show discovered values), connection test, and save/cancel semantics.

Configuration reference

Section llm-newapi: of $DSH_HOME/settings.yaml. The flat fields (baseURL / apiKeyEnv / …) seed the default newapi route; gateways in the gateways array support most of the same fields per gateway (label / apiKeyEnv / flavor / catalogMode / endpointPriority / …).

Field	Default	Description
label	NewAPI	Display name of the default gateway route
apiKeyEnv	NEWAPI_API_KEY	Credential reference (environment variable name)
baseURL	env NEWAPI_BASE_URL / NEWAPI_API_URL → https://api.newapi.ai	Gateway base URL (unused when protocol URLs are set)
flavor	newapi	Gateway template: newapi / litellm / higress / openai-compatible / custom
openaiURL	–	Full chat-completions endpoint URL (custom template; empty = protocol disabled)
responsesURL	–	Full Responses endpoint URL (custom template; empty = protocol disabled)
anthropicURL	–	Full Anthropic messages endpoint URL (custom template; empty = protocol disabled)
modelsUrl	https://models.dev/models.json	models.dev source (file: URLs work offline)
useModelsDev	true	Enrich gateway models with models.dev parameters
extendedReasoningLevels	false	Widen the unknown-model reasoning fallback to off~max (default off/low/medium/high)
sortModelsByRelease	true	Sort the picker newest-first by release date (unknown dates first)
catalogMode	auto	Model-list source: auto / v1 / management
catalogTtlMs	1800000	Model-list cache freshness window
includeChatOnly	true	Only expose chat-capable models to the picker
excludePatterns	image/speech/embed/…	Regex patterns excluding models from the picker
endpointPriority	["openai-response","anthropic","openai","gemini"]	Wire-format preference order (first match wins per model)
userId	1	New-Api-User header for the management API
maxTokens	32768	Output cap fallback when models.dev lacks data
defaultContextWindow	128000	Context window fallback when models.dev lacks data
streamIdleTimeoutMs	300000	Stream idle watchdog
retryPolicy	standard	Same shape as llm-deepseek

How it works

All wire-format concerns are delegated to @earendil-works/pi-ai — the same SDK the official dsh-llm-pi-ai adapter uses. Per request:

harness GenerateOptions
  → toPiContext()          lib/pi-bridge.js   harness messages → pi-ai Context
  → models.streamSimple()  pi-ai SDK          dispatches by each model's `api`
  → toStreamChunks()       lib/pi-bridge.js   pi-ai events → harness chunks

Each discovered model is built with an api field mapped from the gateway's advertised supported_endpoint_types, honoring endpointPriority; the pi-ai provider receives an api map, so every model routes to its own protocol implementation. sdkBaseURL() appends /v1 for OpenAI-protocol models and leaves Anthropic/Google bases untouched.

Develop from a checkout

1. bash scripts/link.sh — symlink this package's node_modules to the profile's so bare @deepseek-ai/* imports resolve to the exact module instances the harness process uses (single-copy instanceof safety).

2. Register the checkout as a profile link dependency and install:

   cd "$DSH_HOME/profiles/web"
   # package.json dependencies: "dsh-gateway-provider": "link:/absolute/path/to/dsh-gateway-provider"
   # and add "dsh-gateway-provider" to the bundles list in the same file
   pnpm install
   

3. Restart the profile.

⚠️ Do not also insert id: llm-newapi into the profile's own cordis.patch.yml — the bundle layer already mounts it, and a duplicate raises duplicate loader entry id at boot.

Client-bundle edits hot-apply after a browser reload; host-half edits need a profile restart.

Tests

node test/smoke.mjs            # live gateway: catalog / openai × 2 / tools / anthropic / gemini / custom-urls
node test/smoke.mjs --only custom-urls
node test/protocol-urls.mjs    # offline: URL derivation + gateway resolution
node test/client-render.mjs    # offline: settings-UI render tree (zh + en)

Smoke-test credentials resolve from: process environment → plugin .env → $NEWAPI_ENV_FILE (plus a legacy author-local fallback path).

Security

• The API key is only resolved through $DSH_HOME/.credentials.yaml (0600) or the environment — never written to logs, config, or chat. Credential fields are edited masked on the web UI.
• No runtime dependencies; peerDependencies reuse the harness-installed @deepseek-ai/* packages and @earendil-works/pi-ai. Commits are gated by gitleaks locally (pre-commit) and in CI.
