English | 中文

DSH web plugin: manage MCP servers from the settings panel. View, edit, remove, enable, and disable MCP servers, then Save — the change hot-reloads immediately (no process restart), because each server is a live @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client loader entry.

What it does

• View — lists every configured MCP server with its serverName, transport (stdio / Streamable HTTP), command or URL, and live state (enabled / disabled, plus the connection phase: active, failed, loading, …).
• Add / Edit — full editor for a server: serverName, transport, command
  • args + cwd + env (stdio), or url + headers (HTTP), plus the per-call timeout and the failOnStartupError flag.
• Remove — deletes the server's loader entry (with a confirm prompt).
• Enable / Disable — toggles the entry's disabled flag without touching its config, so a disabled server keeps its full configuration.
• Save → hot reload — edits are staged locally; Save reconciles the loader tree (create / update / remove), then writes the server set back to the profile's cordis.patch.yml (the durable patch layer). Each operation restarts only the affected dsh-mcp-client instance, which is the same hot-swap the harness HMR performs.

Architecture

A dual-face npm package installed into the web profile:

The client↔server channel is the DSH typert protocol: strict zod codecs validate every argument and result on both sides.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add @opendsh/dsh-plugin-setting-mcp

How it maps to cordis.patch.yml

The plugin manages the dsh-mcp-client rows in the profile's cordis.patch.yml (the user patch layer — not cordis.yml, which the launcher resets to an empty list on every boot). A stdio server is the same as:

# cordis.patch.yml
- insert:
    - id: mcp-github
      name: "@deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client"
      config:
        serverName: github
        transport: stdio
        command: npx
        args: ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"]
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ...

and a Streamable HTTP server is the same as:

# cordis.patch.yml
- insert:
    - id: mcp-web
      name: "@deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client"
      config:
        serverName: web
        transport: streamable-http
        url: http://localhost:3000/mcp
        headers:
          Authorization: ...

The tool names the model sees stay server-qualified (mcp__<serverName>__<tool>), exactly as with hand-written entries.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm --filter @opendsh/dsh-plugin-setting-mcp build
pnpm --filter @opendsh/dsh-plugin-setting-mcp test

Known limitations

• reconnect is not surfaced by the editor. A disabled/enabled toggle and edits to other servers keep the stored reconnect block; the editor itself cannot view or change it.
• Advanced reconnect fields and future MCP capabilities (resources, prompts) are out of scope for this panel; they remain configurable directly in cordis.patch.yml.
• Save is a reconcile, not a transaction. Operations apply sequentially; if a later entry fails (e.g. the server process can't start), earlier operations are already applied and the failure is reported in the panel.
