01What can it help you accomplish?
Manage MCP servers (add, edit, remove, trial-call) from a settings page in DeepSeek Harness
A Settings → Plugins → MCP console with per-server status cards, health diagnostics, server CRUD, and a tool trial console over the official tool pipeline
DeepSeek Harness users running MCP servers who want a safe, reversible, GUI alternative to hand-editing cordis.yml
Diagnose failing MCP servers with derived self-heal suggestions
`/mcp <server> health` output mapping errors (ENOENT, ECONNREFUSED, timeouts, 401/403/404, DNS, rate limit, reconnect exhaustion) to fixes, honestly labeled
Operators debugging MCP connectivity inside DeepSeek Harness who need readable status without grepping logs
02How to install into DeepSeek Harness
Prerequisites
- DeepSeek Harness `0.1.1-rc.2`–`0.2.0` installed (the `dsh` CLI)
- Node.js `^22.19.0 || >=24.0.0`
Installation steps
- 01
`dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mcp-panel` — install the published npm release
$ dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mcp-panel
- 02
`dsh plugin --profile web add "github:PerryLink/dsh-mcp-panel#main"` — install the latest `main`
$ dsh plugin --profile web add "github:PerryLink/dsh-mcp-panel#main"
- 03
Restart DeepSeek Harness, then open Settings → Plugins → MCP (or run `/mcp`)
Verify the integration
- `dsh --profile web --dump-config | grep -A3 'id: mcp-panel'` — confirm the `mcp-panel` row is present
- Run `/mcp` and confirm per-server status rows render
Rollback
- Remove the `mcp-panel` row from `cordis.patch.yml` (the web surface hot-reloads it)
- Delete the package from the profile's `node_modules`
- Verify with `dsh web --dump-config` that no `mcp-panel` row remains
03DSH integration and capability boundaries
Native dsh-plugin: a cordis plugin that layers a console on the official @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client bridge
Settings → Plugins → MCP console (server CRUD + tool trial)
DeepSeek Harness web profile (cordis.patch.yml) with configured MCP servers→a settings UI for per-server status, health diagnostics, server CRUD, and panel-side tool trial calls
append-only, approval-gated writes to `cordis.patch.yml` with automatic backups (never rewrites the file)`/mcp` command suite (status / tools / health / call)
MCP server name and optional JSON tool arguments→per-server status rows, `mcp__*` tool names, derived self-heal suggestions, and trial-call results via the official tool pipeline
Recommended MCP server directory & config import/export
built-in community catalog (filesystem, git, github, fetch, playwright, …) and versioned JSON export documents→`catalogEntries` overlay for one-click add; `exportConfigs()` / `importPreview()` for safe config migration
04Who is it for? When not to use it?
Good for
- DeepSeek Harness users running MCP servers who want a safe, reversible, GUI alternative to hand-editing cordis.yml
- Operators debugging MCP connectivity inside DeepSeek Harness who need readable status without grepping logs
Not for
- The official client bridges tools only; Resources and Prompts are pending upstream support, and the panel never fakes connection state (unobservable fields read `unknown` / `-1` / `—`).
05Compatibility, maintenance and safety notes
- The official client bridges tools only; Resources and Prompts are pending upstream support, and the panel never fakes connection state (unobservable fields read `unknown` / `-1` / `—`).
- Runs only on the DeepSeek Harness web profile (dual-face host + browser GUI); requires Node.js `^22.19.0 || >=24.0.0` and Harness `0.1.1-rc.2`–`0.2.0`.
- Every profile write is append-only, approval-gated, and backed up (newest `backupCount` backups); `writeEnabled: false` rejects all writes while copy still works.

06Frequently asked questions
How do I install dsh-mcp-panel into DeepSeek Harness?
Run `dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mcp-panel` for the published npm release, or `dsh plugin --profile web add "github:PerryLink/dsh-mcp-panel#main"` for the latest `main`. Then restart and open Settings → Plugins → MCP, or run `/mcp`.
Does it replace the official @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client?
No. The official client is the only bridge (one row per MCP server in cordis.yml). dsh-mcp-panel is the experience layer on top: it reads status through the `mcp/status` seam and writes only append-only, approval-gated `cordis.patch.yml` fragments. Transport, OAuth, and protocol are never changed.
How does it diagnose failing MCP servers?
Run `/mcp <server> health`. The panel derives self-heal suggestions from sanitized error text (ENOENT → missing dependency, ECONNREFUSED, timeouts, 401/403/404, DNS, rate limit, reconnect exhaustion). Fields with no upstream observation read `unknown` / `—` — it never invents exit codes or stderr.
Is it safe to write profile changes?
Yes. Every write is append-only, approval-gated, and backed up (newest `backupCount` backups, default 5). The `writeEnabled` kill switch (`false`) rejects all writes while copy still works, and URL query credentials, bearer tokens, and JWTs are redacted before rendering.
What are the known limitations?
The official client bridges tools only, so Resources and Prompts are pending upstream support; the panel marks both as such rather than faking them. It runs on the DeepSeek Harness web profile and requires Node.js `^22.19.0 || >=24.0.0` and Harness `0.1.1-rc.2`–`0.2.0`.
