MCP Mini Manager for DSH: one Settings page, at the same sidebar level as Plugins, that lists every MCP server this DSH actually loads — with each server's summary and live state — and takes any of them out of service.
dsh-mcp-mini-managermcp-mini-manager (settings.section, order 16, right after Plugins)The MCP Mini Manager settings page (English UI)
DSH has no single place that shows which MCP servers are installed. Finding out means reading cordis.patch.yml, then the patch layers of every bundle, and deciding by hand which rows are MCP; removing one has no UI entry point at all. This page makes both a one-step operation.
This is the one design point worth explaining.
In DSH an MCP server is exactly one row in the cordis loader tree, whose module is @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client. That package's own type docs say so:
MCP client bridge plugin: connects to an external MCP server and registers its tools on
ctx.tools… Each plugin instance connects to one MCP server; load multiple instances incordis.ymlfor multiple servers.
So "which MCP servers are installed" is "which ctx.loader entries are dsh-mcp-client". This plugin reads two sources and reconciles them:
| Source | Provides | Limitation |
|---|---|---|
The live Loader (ctx.loader.entries()) | Authoritative config (serverName / transport / command / url …) and the real fiber state | Blind to disabled rows — a disabled row is not in the tree at all |
The patch layers (each bundle's cordis.patch.yml, the profile's own, and ~/.dsh/cordis.patch.yml) | Disabled rows, and which package declared each one | Static config only, no runtime state |
Merged, a server you removed yesterday still appears — with a "removed" state and its original config recovered from the removal record. The merge rule is: the live tree wins on anything it can see, and the layers supply exactly what the tree structurally cannot.
The page holds one boundary strictly: the browser never sends a path, and never sends YAML. Every request carries a single row id that this plugin's own catalog reported; the host re-confirms that the row really is an MCP client row before deriving which file to write and which block to write into it.
"Remove" appends an id-targeted disable patch to the profile's own cordis.patch.yml:
# >>> dsh-mcp-mini-manager: disabled mcp row mcp-github
# server: github
# removed: <ISO timestamp> by dsh-mcp-mini-manager
# restore this server from the MCP 极简管理 settings page, or delete
# these lines to re-enable the row by hand.
- id: mcp-github
disabled: true
# <<< dsh-mcp-mini-manager: disabled mcp row mcp-github
That route has three deliberate properties:
dsh-base, dsh-web-app or a third-party bundle's patch layer, and those directories belong to the packages — a reinstall would undo any edit. The disable goes into the user layer, the one dsh-app-boot applies on every boot and the one the user edits.watchUserPatches on the profile and home layers at startup, so a write is reparsed and reapplied in process. After writing, the host re-reads the live tree and reports honestly whether the change is "already in effect" or "takes effect after a restart", instead of promising on its own authority.<harness home>/.mcp-mini-manager/removed/<rowId>.json. "Restore" does exactly one thing: delete that disable block. Disable-then-restore is a byte-for-byte no-op — your own comments, !!js expressions and other plugins' patches are untouched, because the write is a line splice, not a YAML re-serialization.Why not parse and re-serialize the YAML. That file is hand-written and shared by every plugin. Any "parse → modify → re-emit" round trip reorders or rewrites comments and
!!jsexpressions, quietly breaking unrelated plugins. So this plugin only inserts and deletes whole marked line ranges, and every range carries its own begin/end markers.
| Situation | Behavior |
|---|---|
| The row is already disabled | Refused (already-disabled); the file is untouched |
| Unpaired markers (hand-edited, or an interrupted write) | Refused (marker-unpaired) — the block's extent is unknown, so neither a splice nor a delete can be bounded honestly |
| The patch file does not end with a newline | Refused (no-trailing-newline) — restore would stop being exact |
A path-shaped row id (a/b, ../x, C:\x) | Refused by grammar (bad-row-id) before any filesystem use |
A request from another origin (Origin ≠ Host) | Refused with 403 |
When the user layer already holds a patch for this row, the disable is written anyway. This is worth stating, because the instinct is that a duplicate id must be refused: applyEntryPatches applies every patch independently, key by key, so a patch carrying only id + disabled composes safely alongside one carrying name + config — that is exactly how DSH itself layers patches. It also means the most common shape of all, an MCP row declared through insert, stays removable; otherwise most rows on the page would become un-actionable.
"Clear removal records" is this plugin's only irreversible verb. It deletes record files only — it restores and removes nothing — and requires a second confirmation.
!!js expression are flagged by name (names only; values are never shown).in service / removed / failed to start / starting / unobserved, derived once from the fiber state plus the patch layers so two contradictory badges can never appear.mcp__<serverName>__<rawName>, with their descriptions.dsh-mcp-client. Removing one would be uninstalling a plugin — a different act — so they are listed with no action offered.A fiber in state active only means the plugin loaded; it does not mean the server connected. Connection and reconnect state is reported to the log only (dsh-mcp-client logs reconnecting / recovered / final failure), and this plugin does not guess at it. The page says so in its own footer.
This is a standard DSH bundle (it declares dsh.bundle.patch and dsh.client): install the package into a profile and restart dsh web once. All three routes below work; they differ only in whether you need git, whether a build approval can be triggered, and how you update later.
dsh plugin --profile web add github:runcat-tommy/dsh-mcp-mini-manager
git on the machine. The repository already commits every runtime artifact (lib/) and declares no preinstall/install/postinstall/prepare script, so a build approval is usually not triggered; if DSH asks anyway, approve it.No git, no npm — just take the repository down as an archive:
D:\plugins\dsh-mcp-mini-manager (not a temp folder — the path ends up in your profile's dependencies)dsh plugin --profile web add D:\plugins\dsh-mcp-mini-manager
The command-line equivalent, if you prefer git:
git clone https://github.com/runcat-tommy/dsh-mcp-mini-manager.git
dsh plugin --profile web add D:\path\to\dsh-mcp-mini-manager
For: changing the code, pinning a specific version, a machine without git, or one that cannot reach npm.
Watch out: no build approval, and the repository already carries every runtime artifact. dsh plugin is really a pnpm forwarding shell — it runs pnpm add inside the profile directory and then aligns dsh.profile.bundles to the real loaded state. So you can also mount it by hand with pnpm add link:<path>, in which case you must add the package name to dsh.profile.bundles yourself (pnpm add will not):
{
"dsh": {
"profile": {
"bundles": ["@deepseek-ai/dsh-base", "@deepseek-ai/dsh-web-app", "dsh-mcp-mini-manager"]
}
}
}
Update: download a fresh copy over the old directory (or git pull), rerun add, restart.
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mcp-mini-manager
Package page: https://www.npmjs.com/package/dsh-mcp-mini-manager
lib/), prepare does not run on install, and no build approval is triggered.main. Right now npm's latest and the repository's main are the same version.dsh plugin --profile web up dsh-mcp-mini-manager.| Command | Requires | Build approval | Update | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ① GitHub | … add github:runcat-tommy/dsh-mcp-mini-manager | git on the machine | Usually none (artifacts committed, no install scripts) | Rerun the same command |
| ② Download | extract the ZIP, then … add D:\plugins\dsh-mcp-mini-manager | nothing | none | overwrite the directory + rerun add + restart |
| ③ npm | … add dsh-mcp-mini-manager | nothing | none | … up dsh-mcp-mini-manager |
All three install the same package and the same code; they differ only in how you get it and how you update it later.
All three require one dsh web restart — a new bundle is read from the profile manifest at startup, so refreshing the page is not enough (the page will say its host half did not answer). Once installed, disabling and restoring an MCP server never needs a restart: the write goes into the profile's own patch layer, which DSH hot-reloads.
Inspect and uninstall:
dsh plugin --profile web list # what is installed
dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-mcp-mini-manager # uninstall the plugin (not the same as disabling an MCP)
| File | Role |
|---|---|
lib/index.js | Host half: five HTTP routes, reads the Loader and every patch layer, owns the writes and their guards |
lib/catalog.js | Pure core: row classification, config projection, patch-layer parsing, planDisable / planRestore |
lib/client.js | Browser half: a hand-written __ModuleLoader__ bundle registering settings.section |
cordis.patch.yml | Bundle patch: inserts one row into this profile's loader tree |
test/ | 81 tests: pure rules, host integration (real temp dirs + layered patches), browser-half structure |
scripts/verify-e2e.mjs | End-to-end smoke: loads both real entry points in one process and runs the full cycle (npm run smoke) |
The browser half needs no build step: it requires only the platform's react seed and talks to the host half over same-origin fetch. Copy is registered in both Chinese and English through the locale service, so it follows the DSH UI language.
These routes mount on DSH's webServer and sit outside the /api gateway's same-origin fence. Host is the one header a hostile page cannot forge, so every request that carries an Origin is admitted only when it matches Host, and is refused with 403 otherwise. Requests that deliberately carry no Origin (curl, scripts) are admitted, because those are not browser-initiated cross-site requests and such a caller already holds local filesystem access.

lib/catalog.js — pure functions: row classification, config projection, patch-layer parsing, disable/restore plans.lib/index.js — host half: mounts webServer routes, reads the Loader and every patch layer.lib/client.js — browser half: a hand-written ModuleLoader bundle requiring only the platform's react.Two checks in npm test are worth calling out:
scripts/verify-e2e.mjs composes patch layers by applyEntryPatches' real semantics (each patch independently, key by key), so the disable → restore round trip is verified against real composition semantics rather than a guess at them.The smoke script points $DSH_HOME at a scratch directory on purpose: removal records live under the harness home.
loader service is required to list the running rows; when it is unreadable the page says so rather than showing "no MCP servers".dsh-mcp-client itself does not bridge resources or prompts, so neither does this page.!!js, comments, and the empty-list sentinel [] that the profile template ships. It does not support multi-line flow collections, anchors/aliases, block scalars or merge keys — anything unsupported is reported in diagnostics rather than guessed at.baseUrl.MIT
