Image generation and visual artifacts for DeepSeek Harness — with a free trial, no key, no signup.

What's in this pack
8 tools, read from the live endpoint on 2026-08-22 — this table is generated, not hand-written, so it cannot drift away from what tools/list actually returns. The Arguments column is what the tool genuinely reads; it comes from the tool's own declared input schema.

— in the price column means the tool is not metered per call (session/trial-gated instead). Failed calls are never charged. Check it yourself:

Install
dsh plugin --profile <your-profile> add github:mario03690/dsh-imagegen
Thin config layer only (one @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client row) — no tool code on your machine. Built against the dsh v0.1 developer preview's MCP client config shape (2026-08-13); breaks later → open an issue, same-day fix.
Cost, quota, privacy
Free anonymous quota covers the trial; every response reports its exact USD cost; failed calls are not charged. Prompts are processed in memory and not retained. The config URL carries ?s=dsh-img — a channel tag identifying the install path, not you.
Disclosure: built and run by the team behind ainetcafe.com — our own service, free tier plus paid usage. Full bundle: dsh-netcafe. MIT.
