dsh-china-facts

China facts your agent can trust: reachability tested from a real mainland backbone, statutory holidays incl. make-up workdays (调休), offline ID/phone validation, lunar calendar.

What & why

DeepSeek Harness's earliest adopters skew China-side, yet almost every hosted tool assumes a Western network. This plugin serves what only a mainland vantage can: china_reachability (real backbone probe + daily-refreshed README badge at https://ainetcafe.com/badge/china/<host>), cn_holiday with make-up workdays, id_card_check, phone_info, lunar_calendar. All deterministic, keyless, free.

Every set ships what_can_you_do — describe a task in any language, get the exact tool + a ready-to-run call.

What's in this pack

10 tools, read from the live endpoint on 2026-08-22 — this table is generated, not hand-written, so it cannot drift away from what tools/list actually returns. The Arguments column is what the tool genuinely reads; it comes from the tool's own declared input schema.

what_can_you_do	Describe a task in plain language (any language) and get back exactly which tools on this server do it, with ready-	task	—

— in the price column means the tool is not metered per call (session/trial-gated instead). Failed calls are never charged. Check it yourself:

curl -s -X POST https://ainetcafe.com/mcp/cn -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Install

dsh plugin --profile <your-profile> add github:mario03690/dsh-china-facts

Thin config layer only (one @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client row, shipped as cordis.patch.yml) — no tool code runs on your machine. Built against the MCP client config shape of the dsh v0.1 developer preview (2026-08-13); if a later preview changes it, open an issue for a same-day fix.

Cost, quota, privacy

Free anonymous quota, no signup; every response reports its exact USD cost; failed calls are not charged. Documents are processed in memory and not retained. The config URL carries ?s=dsh-cn — a channel tag identifying the install path, not you.

Disclosure: built and run by the team behind ainetcafe.com — our own service, free tier plus paid usage. Full bundle (everything at once): dsh-netcafe. MIT.

A directory listing is not a security review. Read cordis.patch.yml — it is short enough to read in full in under a minute.
