Connect Junifye to your AI

Junifye is a writing and publishing tool — you and your AI, side by side. Point any MCP client at it and write chapter-structured books, studies and commentaries through plain conversation, rendered to a typeset PDF. Nothing to install; the hosted service runs for you.

1Run it on DeepSeek — the cheapest way

Two separate things, and they are easy to confuse. DeepSeek is the AI itself — the model that does the thinking and the writing. The DeepSeek Harness is the program you actually sit in front of: a free, open-source workspace that installs on your own computer — Windows, Mac or Linux — and opens in your browser, much like ChatGPT's window, except it is yours. The harness talks to the model on one side and to us on the other.

Why do it this way? Because it is the cheapest way to use Darash, Junifye and Lexifye. You pay DeepSeek directly for the model — cents per conversation, and only for what you use — and nothing more to anyone else beyond your Publifye subscription. There is no monthly AI fee stacked on top. As with any hosted AI, your conversations are sent to DeepSeek's servers to be answered.

A caution and a compliment, both earned. The Harness is **new and still in development** — DeepSeek themselves call it a preview and say things will change between versions, so expect the occasional rough edge. It is also one of the most talked-about tools of the year: more than 180,000 people starred it on GitHub within a fortnight of its release, mostly for how far it bends to fit whatever you point it at. Promising and fast-moving — not yet settled.

Get your DeepSeek key first. Register at deepseek.com, top up a small amount — $5 goes a long way — and copy the API key it gives you. This pays for the model.
Buy your Publifye access. Open the Junifye store below, log in or create an account, and buy Junifye Access — or the Complete Trio if you want Darash, Junifye and Lexifye together on one key. Your API key appears in your account as soon as the purchase goes through.
Install Node.js from nodejs.org — version 22 or newer. It brings npm, which you need next. The harness will not start on anything older.
Open a terminal — PowerShell on Windows (press Start, type PowerShell, hit Enter), or Terminal on Mac and Linux — and run the first command below. It fetches and starts the harness and opens it in your browser, and asks for your DeepSeek key the first time. Run that same command every time you want to use it, and leave the window open while you work: closing it shuts the harness down.
Hand it the MCP endpoint and your Publifye key, exactly as shown below. The harness writes its own connector — you never edit a file. Open a new chat afterwards, because tools load when a chat starts.

Fetches and starts the harness — the same command every time

npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web

Optional — install once, then start with just 'dsh web' (quicker, and pins the version)

npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh
dsh web

Keep it fresh. Because it changes often, run one of the commands below every few weeks instead of the usual one. The `@latest` is what tells it to fetch the newest version. Nothing else changes — your connectors and your keys stay exactly as they are.

Run one of these every few weeks to update the harness

npx @deepseek-ai/dsh@latest web

# or, if you installed it with npm install -g:
npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh@latest

Do this once per service — Darash, Junifye and Lexifye each get their own connector, and the same Publifye key works for all three.

Say this to the harness — repeat for each service

Add Junifye as an MCP server.
  URL:    https://junifye.publifye.pro/mcp
  Header: X-API-Key: <your Publifye key>
Then tell me when to open a new chat.

MCP endpoint for the harness https://junifye.publifye.pro/mcp paste this when the harness asks what to connect

Subscribe https://junifye.publifye.pro/store your Publifye key appears in your account after subscribing

That is the whole setup — from here it should just work. One thing worth doing straight away: the harness runs on your own machine, so it opens in your browser at a local address such as http://127.0.0.1:3080. Bookmark that address the first time it appears. It is how you get back in later, and nobody else can reach it — it lives on your machine, not on ours.

Choose DeepSeek's Pro model rather than Flash. Darash's Hebrew and Greek work is noticeably better on it, and the difference shows most on close exegetical questions.

Hours of study for about a dollar. DeepSeek's Pro model bills roughly $0.66 per million input tokens and $1.98 per million output off-peak, and double that at peak — peak is 03:00–06:00 and 08:00–12:00 Oslo time in summer (02:00–05:00 and 07:00–11:00 in winter). Work after midday and top up a few dollars at a time. DeepSeek sets the rates; check their pricing page for what they are today.

One honest note. The DeepSeek Harness and DeepSeek's models are other people's software — Publifye does not build, maintain or support them, and cannot take responsibility for how they behave or change. This is simply a route we have tried and found works well. What we stand behind is our own side of it: the MCP endpoint and your Publifye key.

2Claude (web & desktop)

In Claude, add a custom connector and paste the URL above. Most clients need only the URL — they register themselves automatically (Dynamic Client Registration is live).

Client ID (only if asked) appfIpbsNES8K1J7i1 public — no secret

If a client asks for a Client ID, use the value above and leave the client secret blank.

Claude Desktop — add to claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "junifye": {
      "url": "https://junifye.publifye.pro/mcp"
    }
  }
}

3Command line / Claude Code

One command adds the connector to Claude Code:

claude mcp add junifye --transport http https://junifye.publifye.pro/mcp

4Cursor / any MCP client

Point any MCP client at the endpoint below. It speaks OAuth 2.1 — clients discover the authorization server automatically (RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata).

Endpoint https://junifye.publifye.pro/mcp

OAuth discovery https://junifye.publifye.pro/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource

5Sign in once

The first time your AI calls Junifye, a browser window opens to sign in at Publifye. Create a free account (or log in), approve access, and you're connected — no key to copy or paste. Your session refreshes silently from then on.

Prefer a key? Clients without a browser login — or your own scripts — can authenticate with a personal API key instead: send an X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY header to the same endpoint.

6Ask it to write

Every tool is self-documenting — your AI discovers them on its own. You never touch JSON or LaTeX; you just say what the book should become. Try:

Say this to your AI once Junifye is connected

"Start a new study on Psalm 23 and draft the first chapter."
"Add a chapter on the shepherd imagery, with cross-references."
"Render it as a PDF and give me the reader link."

7Free to start

Hold up to 5 works at a time and make 60 calls a day at no cost, free for your first 90 days — the trial clock starts when you first connect, not when you register. Delete a work any time to free a slot.

When the trial ends, Junifye Access ($7/mo) lifts the shelf to 100 works with unlimited calls. The Complete Trio ($16/mo) adds Darash scripture research and Lexifye dictionaries on the same key. Cancel any time.
