dsh-watch

Standing jobs for your agent: hand a recurring check (page changes, China reachability) to a hosted runner — your terminal can close; you get notified only when the result actually changes.

What & why

A harness session dies with your terminal. create_task hands the job to our hosted runner: watch_page / watch_reachability / daily_answer, minimum 15-min interval, charged only for the calls each run makes. Weekly public evidence of the machinery working: https://ainetcafe.com/lab/china-weekly. 30-day China-watch is a fixed $10 product.

Every set ships what_can_you_do — describe a task in any language, get the exact tool + a ready-to-run call.

Install

dsh plugin --profile <your-profile> add github:mario03690/dsh-watch

Thin config layer only (one @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client row, shipped as cordis.patch.yml) — no tool code runs on your machine. Built against the MCP client config shape of the dsh v0.1 developer preview (2026-08-13); if a later preview changes it, open an issue for a same-day fix.

Cost, quota, privacy

Free anonymous quota, no signup; every response reports its exact USD cost; failed calls are not charged. Documents are processed in memory and not retained. The config URL carries ?s=dsh-tasks — 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 (everything at once): dsh-netcafe. MIT.
