@anysearch/anysearch-dsh

AnySearch-powered real-time web and vertical search for DeepSeek Harness.

English | 简体中文

@anysearch/anysearch-dsh connects AnySearch to DeepSeek Harness as a plugin. Keep using Harness's native web_search and web_fetch while gaining real-time web search, cleaned URL content, vertical search, and concurrent batch search.

AnySearch is search infrastructure for AI agents, covering the public web and specialized data sources across code, finance, academia, law, security, and more.

Quick start

For AI Agents

# Fetch the complete installation guide, read it end to end, and then follow it step by step:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anysearch-team/anysearch-dsh/refs/heads/main/docs/agent-installation.md

For Humans

Install the plugin into the web profile:

npx -y @deepseek-ai/dsh plugin --profile web add @anysearch/anysearch-dsh

Start DeepSeek Harness:

npx -y @deepseek-ai/dsh web

No API key is required for a quick start. Requests use AnySearch's anonymous quota until you configure one.

What you get

• Through Harness's built-in web_search, AnySearch returns results with titles, snippets, and URLs for easy citation.
• Through Harness's built-in web_fetch, AnySearch Extract retrieves and cleans the content of a specific public HTTP(S) URL.
• Discover searchable domains, vertical categories, and supported parameters in real time, then run advanced searches using tags, regions, languages, and structured parameters.
• Run one to five searches concurrently; an individual failure does not affect the other results.
• Advanced search can return cleaned page content on demand for deeper research.

Optional API key

Try it without an API key.

Sign up for an AnySearch account and configure an API key to get 1,000 free search calls per day.

Sign up or sign in at anysearch.com, then visit API Keys to get one. Store the key in $DSH_HOME/.credentials.yaml (~/.dsh/.credentials.yaml by default):

ANYSEARCH_API_KEY: "as_sk_your_key"

The plugin resolves the managed credential for every operation, so credential rotation reaches the next request without restarting DSH. A launching ANYSEARCH_API_KEY environment variable has higher priority.

Inspect the composed profile without exposing the credential value:

npx -y @deepseek-ai/dsh --profile web --dump-config

Tools

For ordinary prompts, let Harness select the tool. Models can discover live domain and parameter definitions before making a specialized search.

Environment requirements

Requires Node.js 22.19 or Node.js 24+, pnpm 11.7, and DeepSeek Harness. The DSH plugin command uses pnpm to manage profile dependencies, so pnpm must be available on PATH.

Windows, Linux, and macOS use the same installation command. Before installing, ensure that Node.js, npx, and pnpm can all be run directly from PATH.

Configuration

The bundled profile layer automatically selects AnySearch as the existing ctx.web search and fetch provider, enables web_fetch, and mounts the advanced tools, so no changes are required by default.

To customize it, ask an AI assistant—or edit it manually—to add the complete block below to the target DSH profile's user configuration layer, overriding the bundled id: web-search-anysearch entry. Keep the id unchanged, replace the complete config, and do not add a second AnySearch provider under a different ID:

- id: web-search-anysearch
  config:
    apiKeyEnv: ANYSEARCH_API_KEY
    baseURL: https://api.anysearch.com
    maxRenderedContentChars: 12000

Manage the plugin

Update:

npx -y @deepseek-ai/dsh plugin --profile web update @anysearch/anysearch-dsh

Remove:

npx -y @deepseek-ai/dsh plugin --profile web remove @anysearch/anysearch-dsh

Compatibility and limitations

• DeepSeek Harness is in developer preview and may make compatibility-breaking changes.
• URL extraction is exposed through Harness's provider-neutral web_fetch; the plugin does not add a duplicate anysearch_extract tool.
• Configure the API key through DSH-managed credentials or an environment variable; the DSH settings page does not currently provide a third-party Provider credential field.
