dsh-codebase-memory-mcp

dsh-codebase-memory-mcp

A DeepSeek Harness plugin that bridges the local codebase-memory-mcp knowledge-graph MCP server into DSH — reusing the built-in @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client bridge, so you don't implement any MCP transport yourself.

The model sees tools named mcp__codebase-memory__* (index_repository, search_graph, trace_path, query_graph, detect_changes, … — 14 tools in total).

Install (from the marketplace / npm)

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-codebase-memory-mcp

Then reload the DSH web host (restart the app, or use the in-app reload).

Install (local development)

dsh plugin --profile web add link:D:\path\to\dsh-codebase-memory-mcp

Configure the server binary

The plugin reads its configuration from the codebase-memory-mcp settings namespace. The default exePath is codebase-memory-mcp, i.e. it assumes the server binary is on your PATH. If your binary lives elsewhere (e.g. a downloaded codebase-memory-mcp.exe), set the absolute path in Settings → Plugins → Plugin configuration → codebase-memory-mcp (or your profile's settings document). Saving hot-reloads the bridge — no restart needed.

Setting	Default	Meaning
exePath	codebase-memory-mcp	Command/executable for the MCP server.
cwd	(exe's directory)	Working directory for the spawned server.
extraArgs	(empty)	Extra CLI args, space-separated, appended to the command.

Verify

• After reload, ask the model: "What mcp__codebase-memory__* tools do you have?"
• You should see mcp__codebase-memory__index_repository, mcp__codebase-memory__search_graph, etc.
• Check the plugin inventory / logs to confirm mcp-client(codebase-memory) is active and 14 tools were discovered.

How it works

DSH host
 └─ composition loads this plugin (cordis.patch.yml insert)
     └─ wrapper plugin apply(ctx):
         1) ctx.settings.register('codebase-memory-mcp', schema)
         2) read scope.get() → build mcp config → ctx.plugin(mcpApply, cfg)  (dynamic)
         3) scope.watch(() => { handle.dispose(); re-launch })   ← settings change = hot reload

The bridge itself is the built-in @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client; this package only contributes the composition entry and a runtime-configurable settings namespace.

Publish

• npm publish (registry verifies repository maps back to the same repo, preventing name squatting).
• Open a PR adding one entry to awesome-dsh-plugin — the market picks it up automatically, usually within a day.

Known limitations

• No tailored settings card: the value lives in the codebase-memory-mcp settings namespace and is edited via DSH's settings document / generic editor. A point-and-click card would require replicating DSH's client-bundle build.
• If the host cannot resolve @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client etc. from this package, add those packages as dependencies or symlink them into the profile.
