README

pi-deepseek-search

pi install npm:pi-deepseek-search

Adds web search to Pi using DeepSeek's web_search_20260209 server side tool (previously undocumented). Only available on DeepSeek's Anthropic-compatible endpoint, so this switches your search calls there automatically. No extra API keys or config needed if you use DeepSeek in Pi.

May 26, 2026: DeepSeek has now officially documented the Anthropic API web search tool support.

Limitations

Only works with DeepSeek models. The search runs on DeepSeek's servers during inference, so you can't use it with Anthropic, OpenAI, or any other provider.

Defaults to deepseek-v4-flash. Set DEEPSEEK_SEARCH_MODEL to change it.

Prime Agent

Prime Agent users: install the separate prime-deepseek-search package:

prime-agent package install npm:prime-deepseek-search

It provides the deepseek-search skill (await deepseek_search("...")) instead of the web_search tool.
