A Crawl4AI-backed WebFetchProvider for the
DeepSeek Harness web capability seam (ctx.web).
Crawl4AI drives a real browser, so a page that a plain HTTP fetch sees as an empty
<div id="app"> arrives here as rendered Markdown — including the code blocks, tables, and
lazily-loaded text that only exist after JavaScript runs.
This is an implementation package: it registers a provider into ctx.web and does not
register a model-facing tool. @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-web owns web_fetch — its schema, its
prompt guidance, and its result card — so installing this package makes that existing tool
render pages through Crawl4AI instead of a plain fetch.
| Provider id | ben-crawl4ai |
| Registers | ctx.web.registerFetchProvider(...) |
| Configures | on the Plugins page, on this package's ben-crawl4ai row |
| Requires | a reachable Crawl4AI server (0.9.x tested) |

dsh plugin --profile <name> add github:you/ben-dsh-crawl4ai # or an absolute path
The package declares dsh.bundle, so the install also activates it: the bundle patch inserts
the provider row and selects it on the web row.
link: installs need one extra step)dsh plugin add <absolute path> records the dependency as link:<path>, which makes
node_modules/ben-dsh-crawl4ai inside the profile a junction back to your working copy.
Node resolves a module's import specifiers from its real path, so the walk up for
@deepseek-ai/… starts in your working copy and never reaches the profile's resolution root —
and a published plugin, which pnpm materializes inside the profile, does not have this
problem.
One command reproduces that reachability:
node scripts/link-harness-deps.mjs
It junctions each package named in peerDependencies from the harness's own install into this
directory's node_modules, preferring the profile tier so this plugin shares the harness's
module instances rather than copies. Re-run it after changing peerDependencies. It
defaults to $DSH_PROFILE_DIR/../node_modules, which the harness sets for its child processes;
pass --root <node_modules> otherwise.
Everything lives on Plugins → this package → the ben-crawl4ai row → Configure. The page
stages what you type and writes only on Save, through the shell's own settings surface
(ctx.configForms), so an edit reaches the next web_fetch without a restart.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Crawl4AI URL | Server root, e.g. http://crawl4ai.internal:11235. Unset or not http(s) makes the provider report unavailable, and web_fetch says so instead of failing every call. |
| Auth header name | e.g. Authorization or X-API-Key. Blank sends no authenticating header. |
| Auth header value | Sent as that header's value. Rendered masked; blank sends no authenticating header — the name and the value take effect together. |
Both header fields are independent, so a deployment can use any header name or none at all.
The values are stored in the active profile's patch
($DSH_HOME/profiles/<profile>/cordis.patch.yml), in plain text. This is a fetch back end
reading its own token, not a per-user credential, and the masked control keeps it off the screen
rather than out of the file. Two further fields stay off the page because they are deployment
concerns, edited in YAML instead:
| Key | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
timeoutMs | 60000 | Resource backstop for one crawl. Keep it below the model-facing tool budget (tool-web's timeoutMs) so a slow server surfaces as a provider failure. |
maxContentChars | 200000 | Cap on the Markdown returned for one page; a longer page sets truncated. |
A patch row replaces the targeted row's whole config, so restate every key you want to
keep.
The bundle patch sets web.fetchProvider: ben-crawl4ai, and that is not politeness:
@deepseek-ai/dsh-web-fetch-http is mounted alongside this package and its available() is
unconditionally true, so two fetch providers are usable at once. The seam auto-selects only
when exactly one is, and otherwise fails every call with WEB_PROVIDER_AMBIGUOUS.
A patch replaces the whole config of the row it targets, and a profile patch is applied after
every bundle layer — so if you also pin searchProvider on the web row, restate
fetchProvider: ben-crawl4ai there too.
One fetch is POST <base>/crawl with {"urls": ["<url>"]} and the configured header. The
response is Crawl4AI's { success, results: [ … ] }, and the first result supplies the final URL
(redirected_url over url), the target's own status_code, and its markdown object, from
which fit_markdown is preferred and an empty fit_markdown falls through to
raw_markdown (the server returns fit_markdown: "" unless a fit filter was requested).
A server that does not serve /crawl (an older build, or a proxy that exposes only part of the
API) answers 404/405 and is retried once against /md, which returns the same content without
the target's status or final URL.
A non-2xx target page is a result, not an error — the status is part of the fetched resource, so it is returned with whatever body Crawl4AI extracted. A throw is reserved for failing to retrieve the page at all.
Failures are WebErrors the tool layer renders in a tool result.
| Situation | Code |
|---|---|
| Caller cancelled | WEB_ABORTED |
timeoutMs elapsed | WEB_FETCH_TIMEOUT |
Requested URL is not absolute http(s) | WEB_INVALID_URL |
| No Crawl4AI URL configured | WEB_PROVIDER_ERROR (and available() is false) |
| Server refused the request (401/403) | WEB_PROVIDER_ERROR, naming the auth header |
| Server unreachable, 5xx, or a non-JSON body | WEB_PROVIDER_ERROR |
| Server produced no result or no content | WEB_PROVIDER_ERROR |
node --test test/crawl4ai.test.mjs test/client.test.mjs # offline
crawl4ai.test.mjs covers the HTTP contract and mapping against a stubbed fetch.
client.test.mjs evaluates the browser bundle with the module loader stubbed, so a stray
@deepseek-ai/* import, an unknown primitive name, or a slot key that does not match the
inserted row fails the suite instead of breaking the Web UI.
Two suites need a live server and skip without one:
$env:CRAWL4AI_URL='https://ca.example:1443'
$env:CRAWL4AI_AUTH_HEADER_NAME='Authorization'
$env:CRAWL4AI_AUTH_HEADER_VALUE='Bearer …'
node --test test/seam.test.mjs # registers into the REAL ctx.web and fetches
node --test test/crawl4ai.test.mjs # includes a live crawl
seam.test.mjs is the end-to-end one: it mounts @deepseek-ai/dsh-web, applies this plugin, and
dispatches a fetch through the seam, covering selection by id, the unavailable gate, and that a
volatile row edit reaches the very next call.
html and text; this provider always returns
text, so dsh-tool-web's HTML-to-Markdown step is skipped rather than applied twice.crawler_config is not exposed: scan depth, caching, filters, and
screenshots are Crawl4AI features this seam's request shape has nowhere to put.cache is left at its default, so a repeat fetch
may answer from the server's cache./md loses the target's status. On the fallback path a successful conversion is reported
as HTTP 200 by construction.MIT
