dsh-skills-mcp-manager DSH plugin

This plugin adds a dedicated 'Skills & MCP' page as a top-level navigation entry in the DeepSeek Harness Web GUI settings. It allows you to browse, enable/disable, delete, and import skills from multiple directories, and create, test, enable/disable MCP servers. MCP servers are actually connected via @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client, registering tools as mcp__server__tool.

  • Supports both project-level and user-level skills, grouped by source directories.

Where the dsh-skills-mcp-manager DSH plugin fits

  • Quickly enable or disable a skill without editing files manually.
  • Connect a custom MCP server (e.g., a database tool) to extend the assistant's capabilities.
  • Import a set of skills from another project into your global skills folder.
  • Test MCP server connectivity before enabling it in production.

Who the dsh-skills-mcp-manager DSH plugin is for

  • DeepSeek Harness users who want to manage skills and MCP integrations through a GUI.

dsh-skills-mcp-manager DSH plugin limitations

  • Only scans four manageable skill root directories; built-in or runtime skills are not shown.
  • Import destination is fixed to ~/.dsh/skills with deduplication by directory or file name.
  • MCP server credentials (env/headers) are stored in plain text in ~/.dsh/mcp.json; users must set file permissions (e.g., 0600) themselves.

本插件是其中一个独立插件：在 DeepSeek Harness Web GUI 的「设置」页新增一个独立的「技能与 MCP」页面（一级导航入口，与「插件」等并列），用于管理技能（skills）与 MCP 服务器。 MCP 是**真实连接**：启用的服务器会通过 @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client 真正连上，并把工具注册为 mcp__<server>__<tool>；启用 / 禁用会实际连接 / 断开。 <img width="778" height="789" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f7492576-e806-427d-97e9-b3ec1d6770f7" /> ## 功能 ### Skills 技能 - 区分项目级 / 用户级，按来源分组（.dsh/skills、.agents/skills、~/.dsh/skills、~/.agents/skills）。 - 启用 / 禁用：改写 SKILL.md 前言的 disable-model-invocation + user-invocable，可逆。 - 删除：两步确认，物理删除技能目录（bundle）或平铺 .md 文件。 - 详情：查看 description、whenToUse 与完整正文。 - 导入：指定目录 → 扫描技能 → 勾选导入到 ~/.dsh/skills。支持系统原生目录选择器与手写路径两种方式。 - 搜索 / 过滤：按名称模糊搜索，按「已启用 / 未启用」过滤。 ### MCP 服务 - 表单或 JSON 两种方式新建服务器（stdio 的 command/args/env/cwd，或 streamable-http 的 url/headers）。 - 测试连接：一键真实连接探测。 - 启用 / 禁用：真正连接 / 断开，状态实时显示（连接中 / 运行中 / 失败 / 已停止）。 - 名称搜索、编辑、删除（两步确认）。 - 配置持久化到 ~/.dsh/mcp.json。 ## 安装 ### 方式一：从 npm 安装（推荐） 前置条件：Node.js >= 22.19，并先装好 dsh 命令行。 # 1. 全局安装 dsh（已装可跳过） npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh dsh --version # 能打印版本号即成功 # 2. 把本插件装进 web profile dsh plugin --profile web add @zebbkira/dsh-skills-mcp-manager@0.1.3 # 3. 重启 dsh web dsh web ds

dsh-skills-mcp-manager DSH plugin questions

How do I install dsh-skills-mcp-manager?

First make sure you have Node.js >= 22.19 and dsh installed globally. Then run `dsh plugin --profile web add @zebbkira/dsh-skills-mcp-manager@0.1.3`. After that restart dsh web with `dsh web`. You can also install from GitHub for development by cloning the repo, building, and using `dsh plugin --profile web add link:$(pwd)`.

Why can't I see the 'Skills & MCP' page after installation?

Make sure you have restarted the dsh web server after adding the plugin. Run `dsh web` again. Also verify that the plugin was added to the web profile by running `dsh plugin --profile web list`. If the plugin is listed, the page should appear under Settings after restart.

How do I enable or disable a skill?

Go to the 'Skills & MCP' page in Settings. Find the skill you want to manage and use the toggle switch. This modifies the SKILL.md front matter directives 'disable-model-invocation' and 'user-invocable' accordingly. The change is reversible.

How do I add a new MCP server?

On the 'Skills & MCP' page, go to the MCP section and click 'Add Server'. You can choose between a form mode (fill in command, args, env, etc.) or a JSON editor mode. Provide a unique name (A-Za-z0-9_- up to 32 chars). After saving, you can test the connection.

Why does my MCP server show 'failed' status?

The plugin tries to connect to the server using @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client. Check the command/url, environment variables, and network. You can click 'Test Connection' to see the error details. Also ensure the server name is unique. If the problem persists, check the server logs.
