What it does
Tavily-backed web search provider for DeepSeek Harness (ctx.web) — no DeepSeek API key required
Works — verified, early-stage project
Tavily-backed web search provider for DeepSeek Harness (ctx.web) — no DeepSeek API key required It installs cleanly and boots without issues in our testing. It's early-stage but functional.
“Verified” means our automated CI actually ran dsh plugin add in a clean profile and it booted — nothing more. Feature descriptions and version compatibility are the author’s claims. This is not a security audit and not an endorsement of third-party code.
README
@crayonlu/dsh-web-search-tavily
Tavily-backed WebSearchProvider for the DeepSeek Harness web capability seam (ctx.web). Lets dsh's web_search tool run entirely on Tavily — no DeepSeek API key required.
Install
dsh plugin --profile web add github:crayonlu/dsh-web-search-tavily
Then add the provider to the profile patch layer at $DSH_HOME/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml (hot-reloaded — no restart needed):
- insert:
- id: web-search-tavily
name: '@crayonlu/dsh-web-search-tavily'
- id: web
config:
searchProvider: tavily
# Optional: drop the DeepSeek-backed search (and chat route) entirely.
- id: web-search-deepseek
disabled: true
- id: llm-deepseek
disabled: true
Configuration
Every field is optional:
| Field | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
apiKey |
— | Literal Tavily key (write it here instead of apiKeyEnv only if you must; it lands in a config file). |
apiKeyEnv |
TAVILY_API_KEY |
Credential reference resolved per search through ctx.credentials (inherited env > $DSH_HOME/.credentials.yaml > project/user .env). |
baseURL |
https://api.tavily.com |
Endpoint base; /search is appended. |
maxResults |
5 |
Default result count when a request carries no maxResults. |
includeAnswer |
true |
Carry Tavily's generated answer as the search result content. |
searchDepth |
basic |
basic or advanced (Tavily's search_depth). |
The key resolves once per search, so an empty TAVILY_API_KEY fails the request with WEB_MISSING_CREDENTIAL rather than falling through to an unrelated credential.
Tests
npm install
npm test
Unit tests mock the HTTP layer; the smoke test runs a real Tavily search when TAVILY_API_KEY is set.

When to use it
Change how dsh looks or how you interact with it — a theme, a skin, or a new panel that reshapes the workspace.
Who it's for
Users who spend hours in the web UI and want it to look and feel the way they work.
For developers — extending it
Skins, panels, and theme tokens are the extension points — author a new skin, add a panel, or sync tokens with an upstream palette.
