dsh-scan-mcp

Windows MCP Hub for DeepSeek Harness — scans the MCP servers configured in your local coding agents (Claude Code / Codex / CodeBuddy), probes real connectivity with an actual MCP initialize handshake (both stdio and streamable-http transports), and lets you enable/disable each server from the UI.

中文文档 · npm · GitHub

Features

• Auto-scan — reads MCP configs from Claude Code (~/.claude.json), Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

and CodeBuddy (~/.codebuddy/mcp.json), with cross-agent deduplication (same MCP shown once, sources merged).

• Real connectivity probe — starts the actual process (stdio) or performs a real MCP initialize

handshake over HTTP (streamable-http, JSON and SSE responses, configurable headers passthrough). Online (green) / offline (red) at a glance, with the concrete failure reason and latency.

• Enabled-only probing — only enabled MCPs are ever connected. Disabled servers show as offline

(已停用（未启用，不检测连接）) and are never probed; re-enabling auto re-tests.

• Per-server reconnect — re-test one server without a full rescan (disabled servers: button greyed out).
• Sliding toggles — all servers enabled by default; toggle any off/on. State persists to

~/.dsh/dsh-scan-mcp.json (survives restarts).

• /mcp popup panel — type /mcp in any session to open a modal control panel (not an AI reply).
• Settings section — Settings → Windows MCP 控制中心 (card layout).
• Model tool — exposes mcp_discovered_catalog (scan + connectivity, read-only).

Requirements

• Windows (the scanned agent configs live under the Windows user home)
• DeepSeek Harness (DSH) with a web profile (dsh web)
• Node.js ≥ 20 (the host half uses the built-in fetch for streamable-http probes)

Installation

Pick one of the following commands (replace <profile-name> with your DSH profile name, e.g. web):

# 1. From npm (recommended)
dsh plugin --profile <profile-name> add dsh-scan-mcp

# 2. From GitHub
dsh plugin --profile <profile-name> add https://github.com/chenbin-dev/dsh-scan-mcp.git

# 3. Local development
dsh plugin --profile <profile-name> add /path/to/dsh-scan-mcp

Then restart the profile (e.g. stop and run dsh web again). The plugin is a static bundle: it survives DSH restarts and needs no per-session approval prompt.

Usage

1. In any session, type /mcp → the MCP control panel pops up:

• Summary row: deduped MCP count · online · offline · disabled · diagnostics
• Each row: name, transport (stdio / streamable-http) · endpoint, ● online / ● offline,

failure reason, Reconnect button (greyed out when disabled), sliding toggle

• Header: refresh scan / close

1. Or open Settings → Windows MCP 控制中心 for the same data in card layout.
2. The model can also call the mcp_discovered_catalog tool for the full catalog.

Scan sources

Missing/unreadable files show up in the panel's diagnostics counter and don't break the rest of the scan. Want more sources? Edit the SOURCES array at the top of src/index.js (or open a PR / an issue).

Transport support

• stdio — spawns command with args (plus env), sends initialize over stdin, waits for the

JSON-RPC response on stdout.

• streamable-http — POST initialize to url with

Content-Type: application/json and Accept: application/json, text/event-stream; parses both plain JSON and SSE (data: line) responses; forwards the config's headers (e.g. Authorization) verbatim.

Privacy & Security

• The plugin only ever shows environment variable / header NAMES — it never reads or displays

credential values; tokens stay in your original agent configs.

• Probing is a handshake only (initialize): no MCP tools are ever invoked, no MCP process is left

running (each probe is terminated when done), and disabled servers are never probed at all.

• The state file ~/.dsh/dsh-scan-mcp.json stores only MCP ids and their toggle state — no credentials.

Troubleshooting

A server stays offline? Click Reconnect on its row to see the exact reason:

• ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND — usually a corrupted npm/npx cache. Run npm cache clean --force

(or delete the offending directory under %LocalAppData%\npm-cache\_npx\<hash>), then reconnect.

• npm ... 404 — the package name does not exist; fix it in your agent config (e.g. sequential-thinking

is @modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking).

• 连接超时 (stdio) — the process did not answer initialize within 20s (common when network/proxy

is required).

• HTTP 状态 404/405（该地址可能不是 MCP 端点） — the url is not an MCP endpoint or the server

does not implement MCP.

• 网络不可达 / 连接超时 (streamable-http) — cannot reach the endpoint; check network/proxy.
• 未识别到 MCP initialize 响应 — non-JSON/SSE reply; the endpoint may need a headers auth field.

• Host half is a plain ESM module (export { name, inject, apply }) using Node built-ins only

(child_process, fs, fetch); peer dependency @deepseek-ai/dsh-tools is provided by the host.

• Host ↔ Client talk over HTTP RPC: POST /__scan-mcp/scan|test|setEnabled.
• Probe results are cached 30s; up to 3 concurrent probes; 20s stdio / 12s HTTP timeouts.
• Syntax check: node --check src/index.js && node --check src/client.js (npm test).
