Vladimir-Human/ru-marketplace-mcp#dsh

Read-only MCP servers for Russian marketplaces: prices, stock, ratings, reviews and cross-marketplace price comparison. This bundle ships 13 Agent Skills plus two MCP server rows that are off by default.

Why off by default

An MCP row that is always mounted is paid on every request, because the harness registers the schema of every tool in the session context. Measured over the stdio MCP wire with scripts/mcp_wire.py:

Mode	Cost while mounted	Model-facing tools
Skills only (default)	~390 tokens for 13 catalog rows	0
compare-mcp (recommended)	~0.9k tokens per request	2
marketplace-mcp (full)	~13.0k tokens per request	34

The 11 *_selfcheck tools that previously inflated the full server to 45 tools are now CLI-only (marketplace-mcp doctor); only model-facing tools are published over MCP.

Requirements

• DeepSeek Harness (dsh)
• Python ≥ 3.12
• uv
• A local clone of this repository (the MCP rows launch it with uv run --directory <clone>)

Install (three steps)

1. Add the bundle to a profile (web is the profile dsh ships with a UI; use whichever profile you actually run — a bare profile that dsh auto-creates on first use carries no app and cannot be launched):

   dsh plugin --profile web add github:Vladimir-Human/ru-marketplace-mcp#path:/dsh
   

   The 13 skills appear immediately. No MCP server starts yet.

2. Clone the server and install its locked environment once:

   git clone https://github.com/Vladimir-Human/ru-marketplace-mcp.git
   cd ru-marketplace-mcp
   uv sync --frozen
   

3. Set the gate/path variable so the profile can find the clone and restart the profile. On Windows PowerShell:

   $env:RU_MARKETPLACE_MCP_DIR = "C:\path\to\ru-marketplace-mcp"
   

   On POSIX shells:

   export RU_MARKETPLACE_MCP_DIR=/path/to/ru-marketplace-mcp
   

   With only RU_MARKETPLACE_MCP_DIR set, the recommended compare mode activates: mcp__rumarket__compare_prices and mcp__rumarket__compare_sources.

Enabling the full server

Set one more variable before starting dsh:

$env:RU_MARKETPLACE_MCP_FULL = "1"   # PowerShell

export RU_MARKETPLACE_MCP_FULL=1     # POSIX shell

The enabled row then changes from compare-mcp (2 tools) to marketplace-mcp (34 tools). Both rows share serverName: rumarket, and their disabled conditions are mutually exclusive, so exactly one server instance runs at a time.

Uninstall

Remove the bundle from the profile and restart it:

dsh plugin --profile web remove ru-marketplace-mcp-dsh

No MCP process survives profile restart without RU_MARKETPLACE_MCP_DIR.

Docker alternative (published and CI-verified)

Since v1.5.1 every release tag builds a stdio image and proves it with a real MCP session over docker run --rm -i before publishing to the MCP Registry: initialize, tools/list (34 tools) and a marketplace_sources call. Use the published GHCR image instead of a local clone:

- id: ru-marketplace-docker
  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client'
  disabled: false
  config:
    serverName: rumarket
    transport: stdio
    command: docker
    args:
      - run
      - --rm
      - -i
      - ghcr.io/vladimir-human/ru-marketplace-mcp:1.5.1
    failOnStartupError: false

The image defaults to the unified server; full-mode wire cost applies (~13.0k tokens per request), so opt in deliberately.
