Deepseek Harness
by HenryZ838978 · HenryZ838978/deepseek-harness
Harness for DeepSeek V4-Pro / V4-Flash. Python lib (pip install deepseek-harness) + dsh CLI + MCP server (npx @deepseek-harness/mcp) + Anthropic SKILL.md. 16 documented protocol quirks, 12 probes, 270+ trials.
Install Deepseek Harness
Not a bundle: wire it through the official mcp-client bridge with a single config row.
This is an MCP server, not a DSH bundle. It is wired in through the official @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client bridge: one plugin row in your config, pointing at either a stdio command or an http endpoint. Its tools then appear to the agent as mcp__deepseek-harness__<tool>, the same naming Claude Code and Codex use.
One config row for the mcp-client bridge — fill the command or URL from this repo's README
{
"name": "@deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client",
"config": {
"server": "deepseek-harness",
"command": "<stdio command from the README>",
"url": "<or an http endpoint, if the server is remote>"
}

Install check
Every field the verdict was derived from, so you can re-derive it yourself
| Field checked | Result | Weight | What the spec says about it |
|---|---|---|---|
| lifecycleScripts | pass | info | no install-time scripts |
| entityType | pass | info | mcp-server is not installed via `dsh plugin add` |
- Verdict reason
- mcp-server uses its own install path, so bundle checks do not apply
- package.json read
- packages/mcp/package.json
- Rules applied from
