About this plugin
The web search channel in DeepSeek Harness has long lacked a ready-to-use search provider, and many dsh users happen to have an OpenAI API Key sitting nearby. dsh-web-search-openai does exactly one thing: it plugs the native web_search server-side retrieval from the OpenAI Responses API straight into dsh's web.searchProvider slot, with zero source modifications and no build step—just restart dsh web.
Every query is dispatched to POST /responses where OpenAI's servers perform the retrieval and generate an answer on your behalf. The structured search_results payload (with a url_citation annotation as a fallback) is normalized into readable, cited sources. The built-in settings card in dsh's Web console lets you swap endpoints, pick a model, tune max output tokens and retrieval context depth, and store your API Key write-only without ever echoing it back, or simply let it read the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable.
If you are already running dsh and want real-time, web-grounded answers in your conversations without hand-rolling a provider from scratch, this plugin is the shortest path: MIT-licensed, prebuilt, and designed to upgrade cleanly alongside dsh.
Use Cases
- Get real-time, web-grounded answers with structured cited sources directly in dsh conversations
- Replace hand-rolled search providers with OpenAI server-side retrieval in one line
- Configure the OpenAI endpoint and API Key from dsh's Web panel without touching source code
Best For
- dsh users who want real-time web-grounded answers in their conversations
- Developers with an OpenAI API Key looking for a quick server-side search integration
- Heavy dsh users who prefer zero-change plugin assembly over hand-writing a searchProvider
