dsh-web-search-tavily

Tavily-backed web search provider for DeepSeek Harness.

It registers a tavily provider on ctx.web, can replace the native web_search backend, and adds a Settings → Plugins card for:

• API key management (via DSH credentials)
• toggling whether Tavily replaces DeepSeek native search

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add github:renchengxiang/dsh-web-search-tavily

Or with an HTTPS archive URL:

dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/renchengxiang/dsh-web-search-tavily/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz

Then fully restart DeepSeek Harness Desktop / dsh web.

Install from tag

dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/renchengxiang/dsh-web-search-tavily/archive/refs/tags/v0.1.0.tar.gz

Configure

1. Open Settings → Plugins → Plugin configuration
2. Expand Tavily search
3. Paste your Tavily API key
4. Keep Replace native web search enabled if you want web_search to use Tavily
5. Save

You can also export an environment variable / credential named TAVILY_API_KEY.

What it changes

Bundle patch

The package ships cordis.patch.yml through dsh.bundle.patch, so dsh plugin add mounts:

1. web.searchProvider: tavily
2. Host plugin row web-search-tavily

No manual cordis.patch.yml editing is required for a clean install.

If you previously mounted a local/dev copy manually, remove the old local mount lines first to avoid double registration.

Development notes

• Host: lib/index.js
• Client settings card: lib/client.js
• Settings namespace / card key: tavily-search
• Provider id: tavily
