About this plugin
Looking up an arXiv paper or scanning recent work on a topic inside a chat often means hand-rolling HTTP calls, parsing Atom XML, and juggling identifier formats. dsh-arxiv collapses that into two model-facing tools: arxiv_search queries papers by phrase or field prefix, and arxiv_get fetches metadata and abstract for a single paper by id or URL. Everything goes through the arXiv public endpoint over HTTPS, is read-only, stateless, and requires no API key.
The plugin is deliberately minimal: it does not scrape PDFs, extract full text, maintain a citation graph, or build embedding stores. It answers two questions, namely what has been written on a topic and what a given paper says, then returns ArXiv metadata and abstract. Requests are bounded by a 15 second deadline and a 2 MiB response cap, and failures carry stable error codes instead of prose.
Ideal for developers and researchers who need fast preprint metadata inside DeepSeek Harness conversations: zero configuration, zero credentials, call and get results.
Use Cases
- Search recent preprints on a topic by keyword inside a conversation
- Fetch metadata and abstract for a single paper by id or URL
- Verify whether an arXiv paper exists and inspect its basic publication info
Best For
- Developers who need quick preprint metadata in chat
- Researchers doing rapid literature lookup and verification
- DeepSeek Harness users building academic-assistant workflows
