Introduction

The design philosophy of DeepSeek Harness (DSH) is “everything is a plugin”. When building agent applications, obtaining real-time time data or performing timezone conversions is a common basic capability. The xby-time plugin aims to provide standardized time services to DSH through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.

Plugin Introduction

xby-time is a DSH plugin maintained by xby-skill, categorized as an online tool. It is open-sourced under the MIT License.

Core Features

This plugin provides three core tools:

  1. set_xby_apikey: Sets an API key in the chat context. This operation is automatically persisted and remains valid after the process is restarted.
  2. get_current_time: Gets the current time in a specific time zone.
  3. convert_time: Converts time between different time zones.

Installation and Configuration

Before use, you must first visit the Xiao Benyang official website to register and obtain an API key.

It is recommended to install directly from GitHub using the command:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:xby_skill/xby-time

If you need local development or debugging, you can also use the following methods:

# 本地目录安装
dsh plugin --profile web add /absolute/path/to/xby-time

# 或通过 cordis.patch.yml 调试
dsh web --profile web --patch /absolute/path/to/xby-time/cordis.patch.yml

Typical Usage

After configuring the API key, the agent can directly call the above features. For example, asking to get the current Beijing time for New York, or asking to convert a specific point in time to UTC time, the plugin will directly return the result.

Ecosystem Context

The DSH ecosystem emphasizes modularity and flexibility. This plugin repository has no official affiliation with DeepSeek or High-Flyer Quant; it is only an independent plugin provided by the community.
