About this plugin
Paper Desktop runs its MCP server inside the desktop process, leaving external agents with no way to read or edit designs. dsh-paper-design bridges that gap into DeepSeek Harness, giving the agent native access to every paper_* tool (get_basic_info, write_html, update_styles, and more) with JSON Schemas auto-normalized to the DSH subset. The real differentiator is screenshot forwarding: when the agent calls paper_get_screenshot, the image is decoded, committed through attachments, and delivered to a vision-capable model, turning design files from text-only blind spots into fully inspectable artifacts.
Beyond tool registration, the bundle injects Cursor-parity design guidance into the system prompt, ships three skills (code-to-design, design-to-code, and a paper-design tool index), and provides a one-command /paper-reconnect to re-sync the MCP session after a Paper Desktop restart. A full RFC 8414 / PKCE OAuth 2.1 auth layer sits dormant on localhost and activates only when a server advertises or challenges authentication, so local use stays frictionless.
Ideal for developers and designers who work in Paper Desktop and want their AI agent to read, modify, and generate design code directly. As long as the DSH profile already mounts tools, attachments, and skills services, this bundle upgrades the agent from "can talk about design" to "can do design."
Use Cases
- Agent reads a Paper design file and generates matching HTML and CSS code
- Screenshots are forwarded to a vision model so the agent can analyze layout, color, and component structure
- One /paper-reconnect command restores the full session after a Paper Desktop restart
Best For
- Designers working in Paper Desktop who want AI to read and modify designs directly
- Developers building MCP toolchains in DeepSeek Harness who need Paper integration
- Cross-functional teams that require agents to understand visual design files, not just text
