add-parallel

An integration that adds Parallel AI web-research tools to Deus. Parallel AI is a service that searches the web and performs longer research tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running fast web searches, starting deep research tasks, and checking for completed research results through the Deus scheduler.
Why use it?
It gives the agent separate options for quick lookups and more comprehensive research without keeping the container occupied while results are prepared.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

add-parallel scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to add-parallel — 52 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Add Parallel AI Integration

Adds Parallel AI MCP integration to Deus for advanced web research capabilities.

What This Adds

  • Quick Search - Fast web lookups using Parallel Search API (free to use)
  • Deep Research - Comprehensive analysis using Parallel Task API (asks permission)
  • Non-blocking Design - Uses Deus scheduler for result polling (no container blocking)

Prerequisites

User must have:

  1. Parallel AI API key from https://platform.parallel.ai
  2. Deus already set up and running
  3. Docker installed and running

Implementation Steps

Run all steps automatically. Only pause for user input when explicitly needed.

1. Get Parallel AI API Key

Use AskUserQuestion: Do you have a Parallel AI API key, or should I help you get one?

If they have one: Collect it now.

If they need one: Tell them:

  1. Go to https://platform.parallel.ai
  2. Sign up or log in
  3. Navigate to API Keys section
  4. Create a new API key
  5. Copy the key and paste it here

Wait for the API key.

2. Add API Key to Environment

Add PARALLEL_API_KEY to .env:

# Check if .env exists, create if not
if [ ! -f .env ]; then
    touch .env
fi

# Add PARALLEL_API_KEY if not already present
if ! grep -q "PARALLEL_API_KEY=" .env; then
    echo "PARALLEL_API_KEY=${API_KEY_FROM_USER}" >> .env
    echo "✓ Added PARALLEL_API_KEY to .env"
else
    # Update existing key
    sed -i.bak "s/^PARALLEL_API_KEY=.*/PARALLEL_API_KEY=${API_KEY_FROM_USER}/" .env
    echo "✓ Updated PARALLEL_API_KEY in .env"
fi

Verify:

grep "PARALLEL_API_KEY" .env | head -c 50

3. Update Container Runner

Add PARALLEL_API_KEY to allowed environment variables in src/container-runner.ts:

Find the line:

const allowedVars = ['CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN', 'ANTHROPIC_API_KEY'];

Replace with:

const allowedVars = ['CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN', 'ANTHROPIC_API_KEY', 'PARALLEL_API_KEY'];

4. Configure MCP Servers in Agent Runner

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
