What is DSH-Plugin Hub and how is it different from DeepSeek Harness?

DSH-Plugin Hub is a community plugin marketplace DSH plugin for DeepSeek Harness (DSH), built by the dsh-plugin.org team to the official plugin spec. Once installed it embeds in Settings → Plugin Center. DeepSeek Harness is the host; DSH-Plugin Hub is a plugin running inside it.

How do I install DSH-Plugin Hub? What is the install command?

The recommended one-liner is dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-plugin (npm package). You can also install from GitHub with dsh plugin --profile web add github:dshplugin/dsh-plugin-hub. After installing, restart dsh web and open Settings → Plugin Center to use it.

What if the Settings → Plugin Center entry doesn't appear after installing DSH-Plugin Hub?

Restart the dsh web service and refresh the browser page. Confirm the install command succeeded and the web profile includes dsh-client-modules. DSH-Plugin Hub is a browser-only plugin whose entry mounts on the Plugin Center slot, so both prerequisites must be met.

Where does DSH-Plugin Hub get its plugin data, and how does it relate to dsh-plugin.org?

The data shares the exact same source as dsh-plugin.org: the website collects, human-reviews, and publishes community plugins daily, and DSH-Plugin Hub pulls the latest catalog from that same source after install, with no manual upgrades needed.

What can I do after installing DSH-Plugin Hub?

Open Settings → Plugin Center to browse and search community plugins, open a detail page to check its intro and copy the install command, or use Open in browser to share and bookmark a plugin. The marketplace indexes 4000+ community plugins, nearly half human-curated.

Install & Use DSH-Plugin Hub: Community Plugin Marketplace

DSH-Plugin Hub is the community plugin marketplace DSH plugin for DeepSeek Harness, built into Settings → Plugin Center. A single command — dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-plugin — installs it, letting you browse, search, and install community plugins without leaving the app.

DSH-Plugin Hub Overview

This guide covers three things: what DSH-Plugin Hub is, how to install it, and how to use it. It is an open-source plugin built to the official plugin spec by the dsh-plugin.org team — a different thing from DSH itself. Install DeepSeek Harness first, then add DSH-Plugin Hub as a plugin. If you don't have DSH running yet, see How to install DeepSeek Harness first.

What is DSH-Plugin Hub? The community plugin marketplace for DeepSeek Harness

DSH-Plugin Hub is a community plugin marketplace DSH plugin embedded in Settings → Plugin Center, solving the "installed DSH but don't know what to add, or where to manage it" problem. Core features:

Native integration: embeds into Harness Settings → Plugin Center with a bilingual UI that follows the system language;
Human-curated, updated daily: indexes 4000+ community DSH plugins, nearly half human-curated and verified, collected, reviewed, and published daily by dsh-plugin.org;
Real-time sync: data shares the same source as dsh-plugin.org, and the installed plugin fetches the latest catalog automatically — no manual upgrades;
One-click access: detail pages load instantly, and Open in browser lets you share or bookmark anytime;
Lightweight and safe: browser-side injection only, no host service dependency, no telemetry, and no privacy collection.

Note this is an independent community project with no affiliation with DeepSeek Harness (source).

How to install DSH-Plugin Hub: two commands

Installing DSH-Plugin Hub takes a single dsh plugin command; the npm package name is recommended. The prerequisite is a running DSH — start it once with npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web so the web profile auto-initializes and dsh plugin has somewhere to install into (source).

npm install (recommended):

bash

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-plugin

Install from GitHub (the plugin ships a built-in browser bundle, so no build or authorization is needed):

bash

dsh plugin --profile web add github:dshplugin/dsh-plugin-hub

After installing, restart dsh web and open Settings → Plugin Center — the DSH-Plugin Hub marketplace entry will be there. If it doesn't show up, make sure the web profile includes dsh-client-modules and try again.

How to use DSH-Plugin Hub: browse, search, and install plugins in the Plugin Center

After installation you can run the whole plugin workflow without leaving the app. From Settings → Plugin Center you can:

Browse: scan 4000+ community DSH plugins by category, with name, description, stars, and last-update time on each card;
Search: look up plugins by keyword to quickly find the tool or UI enhancement you want;
Install: open a detail page to see its intro, compatible DSH version, and install command, then copy and run it in your terminal;
Share: use Open in browser to share a plugin with a teammate or bookmark it.

Want your own DSH plugin listed too? Publish it to GitHub and add the dsh-plugin topic — the dsh-plugin.org directory discovers and indexes it automatically; see the submit page. For generic install command details, check How to install a DSH plugin.

DSH-Plugin Hub Notes

Three things to know before using DSH-Plugin Hub: developer preview, version compatibility, and the independent-project nature.

Developer preview: DSH is still in preview (currently 0.1.0-rc.6), so plugin interfaces may change — defer to the official docs when something breaks.
Version compatibility: DSH-Plugin Hub currently supports the DSH 0.1.0 series (0.1.0-rc.6 and same-series versions), declares the official dsh.bundle manifest, and requires dsh-client-modules in the web profile.
Independent project: this is an independent community project with no affiliation with DeepSeek Harness, released under the MIT license.
