dsh-web-search-brave

English | 中文

A Brave Search-backed search provider for the DeepSeek Harness web capability seam (ctx.web): it makes the built-in web_search tool run on Brave's Search Web API instead of the shipped DeepSeek route.

DSH compatibility: version 0.2.5 has been tested locally with 0.2.2-rc.1.

Features

• Clean snippets - text_decorations defaults to false so snippets stay free of <b> highlight markers.
• Dates - page_age (ISO 8601) maps to the seam's publishedAt; human-readable age is ignored.
• Keyed only - Brave has no keyless mode; free tier: 2,000 queries/month at api.search.brave.com.

Install

Install the npm package into the target DSH profile (replace web if needed):

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-web-search-brave@0.2.5

Set your API key through the credentials service, or export BRAVE_API_KEY in the environment that starts dsh. The current credential file format uses a refs mapping; preserve any existing entries if editing it directly:

# $DSH_HOME/.credentials.yaml (default: ~/.dsh/.credentials.yaml)
version: 1
refs:
  BRAVE_API_KEY: <your-key>
records: {}

The bundle mounts the provider but does not select it. The shipped web profile pins deepseek-official, so select Brave in your profile patch, preserving the fetch provider you already use (the shipped default is http):

# $DSH_HOME/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml
- id: web
  config:
    searchProvider: brave
    fetchProvider: http

A patch replaces the entire web config, so retain any other settings you need. Restart DSH after changing the profile patch.
