dsh-flowix-memory

A DeepSeek Harness bundle that registers the local flowix-cli MCP server with any Harness instance. Once installed, the agent gets the mcp__flowix__memo tool to search, read, create, and edit Flowix Markdown memos, and to create declared plugin artifacts such as mind maps.

The bundle includes a small launcher. It transparently proxies to flowix-cli when installed; otherwise it keeps the tool registered and returns an actionable installation error to the agent. The launcher is a cordis.patch.yml that inserts one @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client row, which ships inside every Harness distribution. Nothing here connects to a remote Flowix service — the CLI is spawned locally over stdio and reads the local notebook data directory.

Prerequisites

1. A flowix command on PATH (or set FLOWIX_CLI_PATH to the absolute flowix-cli binary path) is needed to use the memo operations. If it is missing, the tool explains how to install Flowix from https://flowix-memo.com/latest.json. The CLI is built from the flowix-main repository (app/flowix-cli, binary flowix-cli).
2. Access to the Flowix notebook data the CLI should manage. Defaults to the user config directory (~/.flowix); override with FLOWIX_HOME / FLOWIX_DATA when the data lives elsewhere.

Install

dsh plugin manages one profile at a time and requires --profile <name>. Flowix uses the flowix profile. In other DSH clients, flowix is simply a custom profile name and can be created by the same command. The bundle remains independent from Flowix's host/control bridge and ships in the flowix-main repository and is not yet published to npm, so install it from the checkout:

# from the flowix-main checkout root
dsh plugin --profile flowix add ./dsh-flowix-memory

Once published, the npm package installs the same way:

dsh plugin --profile flowix add dsh-flowix-memory

The row activates for that profile. Other DSH clients can start it with dsh --profile flowix; this profile also ships dsh-appserver so the official flowix.bridge.* JSON-RPC surface is available out of the box.

Verify

Start Harness with the profile you installed into (dsh --profile flowix), then check that the tool is registered:

mcp__flowix__memo

Prefer structured arguments:

{"action":"search","query":"product plan","notebook":"work","limit":20}

The legacy { "command": "search ...", "stdin": "..." } form remains accepted for compatibility but is no longer the recommended contract.

Configuration

Key	Default	Meaning
FLOWIX_CLI_PATH	flowix (PATH lookup)	Absolute path to the flowix-cli executable

If the CLI is unavailable, calling the tool returns an installation message with https://flowix-memo.com/latest.json. Install Flowix, then restart the profile so the launcher reconnects to flowix-cli mcp.

Uninstall

dsh plugin --profile flowix remove dsh-flowix-memory

Notes

• The MCP stdio bridge strips ambient credential-like variables and all DSH_* variables before spawning the child; other ambient variables (including HOME/PATH) are inherited.
• Flowix Desktop installs this same bundle into its flowix profile and sets FLOWIX_DSH_MCP_CLI. Other DSH clients can install it into any profile and use FLOWIX_CLI_PATH or the flowix executable on PATH. There is one canonical bundle patch and no embedded duplicate row.
