--- ## Why Agent Reach? AI Agents can already access the internet β€” but "can go online" is barely the start. The most valuable information lives across social and niche platforms: Twitter discussions, Reddit feedback, YouTube tutorials, XiaoHongShu reviews, Bilibili videos, GitHub activity… **These are where information density is highest**, but each platform has its own barriers: | Pain Point | Reality | |------------|---------| | Twitter API | Pay-per-use, moderate usage ~$215/month | | Reddit | Server IPs get 403'd | | XiaoHongShu | Login required to browse | | Bilibili | Blocks overseas/server IPs | To connect your Agent to these platforms, you'd have to find tools, install dependencies, and debug configs β€” one by one. **Agent Reach turns this into one command:** ``` Install Agent Reach: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Panniantong/agent-reach/main/docs/install.md ``` Copy that to your Agent. A few minutes later, it can read tweets, search Reddit, and watch Bilibili. **Already installed? Update in one command:** ``` Update Agent Reach: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Panniantong/agent-reach/main/docs/update.md ``` ### βœ… Before you start, you might want to know | | | |---|---| | πŸ’° **Completely free** | All tools are open source, all APIs are free. The only possible cost is a server proxy ($1/month) β€” local computers don't need one | | πŸ”’ **Privacy safe** | Cookies stay local. Never uploaded. Fully open source β€” audit anytime | | πŸ”„ **Kept up to date** | Upstream tools (yt-dlp, twitter-cli, rdt-cli, Jina Reader, etc.) are tracked and updated regularly | | πŸ€– **Works with any Agent** | Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, Windsurf… any Agent that can run commands | | 🩺 **Built-in diagnostics** | `agent-reach doctor` β€” one command shows what works, what doesn't, and how to fix it | --- ## Supported Platforms | Platform | Capabilities | Setup | Notes | |----------|-------------|:-----:|-------| | 🌐 **Web** | Read | Zero config | Any URL β†’ clean Markdown ([Jina Reader](https://github.com/jina-ai/reader) ⭐9.8K) | | 🐦 **Twitter/X** | Read Β· Search | Cookie | Cookie unlocks search, timeline, tweet reading, articles ([twitter-cli](https://github.com/public-clis/twitter-cli)) | | πŸ“• **XiaoHongShu** | Read Β· Search Β· **Post Β· Comment Β· Like** | Cookie | `pipx install xiaohongshu-cli` + `xhs login` ([xhs-cli](https://github.com/jackwener/xiaohongshu-cli)) | | 🎡 **Douyin** | Video parsing Β· Watermark-free download | mcporter | Via [douyin-mcp-server](https://github.com/yzfly/douyin-mcp-server), no login needed | | πŸ’Ό **LinkedIn** | Jina Reader (public pages) | Full profiles, companies, job search | Tell your Agent "help me set up LinkedIn" | | πŸ’¬ **WeChat Articles** | Search + Read | Zero config | Search + read WeChat Official Account articles via Exa (zero config) + optional [Camoufox](https://github.com/daijro/camoufox) | | πŸ“° **Weibo** | Trending Β· Search Β· Feeds Β· Comments | Zero config | Hot search, content/user/topic search, feeds, comments ([mcp-server-weibo](https://github.com/Panniantong/mcp-server-weibo)) | | πŸ’» **V2EX** | Hot topics Β· Node topics Β· Topic detail + replies Β· User profile | Zero config | Public JSON API, no auth required.

Manual install ```bash pip install https://github.com/Panniantong/agent-reach/archive/main.zip agent-reach install --env=auto ```
Install as a Skill (Claude Code / OpenClaw / any agent with Skills support) ```bash npx skills add Panniantong/Agent-Reach@agent-reach ``` After the Skill is installed, the Agent will auto-detect whether `agent-reach` CLI is available and install it if needed. > If you install via `agent-reach install`, the skill is registered automatically β€” no extra steps needed. > > Prefer an English-only skill file? Set an English locale or export `AGENT_REACH_LANG=en` > before running `agent-reach install --env=auto` or `agent-reach skill --install`. > The installed file is always written as `SKILL.md`, so switching languages means rerunning > the install command with the new locale and replacing the previously installed skill file.
--- ## Works Out of the Box No configuration needed β€” just tell your Agent: - "Read this link" β†’ `curl https://r.jina.ai/URL` for any web page - "What's this GitHub repo about?" β†’ `gh repo view owner/repo` - "What does this video cover?" β†’ `yt-dlp --dump-json URL` for subtitles - "Read this tweet" β†’ `twitter tweet URL` - "Subscribe to this RSS" β†’ `feedparser` to parse feeds - "Search GitHub for LLM frameworks" β†’ `gh search repos "LLM framework"` **No commands to remember.** The Agent reads SKILL.md and knows what to call. --- ## Unlock on Demand Don't use it? Don't configure it. Every step is optional. ### πŸͺ Cookies β€” Free, 2 minutes Tell your Agent "help me configure Twitter cookies" β€” it'll guide you through exporting from your browser. Local computers can auto-import. ### 🌐 Proxy β€” $1/month, servers only Bilibili blocks server IPs. Get a proxy ([Webshare](https://webshare.io) recommended, $1/month) and send the address to your Agent. > Reddit now works free via rdt-cli without any proxy. Local computers don't need a proxy for Bilibili either. --- ## Status at a Glance ``` $ agent-reach doctor πŸ‘οΈ Agent Reach Status ======================================== βœ… Ready to use: βœ… GitHub repos and code β€” public repos readable and searchable βœ… Twitter/X tweets β€” readable. Cookie unlocks search and posting βœ… YouTube video subtitles β€” yt-dlp ⚠️ Bilibili video info β€” server IPs may be blocked, configure proxy βœ… RSS/Atom feeds β€” feedparser βœ… Web pages (any URL) β€” Jina Reader API πŸ” Search (free Exa key to unlock): ⬜ Web semantic search β€” sign up at exa.ai for free key πŸ”§ Configurable: βœ… Reddit posts and comments β€” search and read via rdt-cli (free, no proxy) ⬜ XiaoHongShu notes β€” needs cookie. Export from browser Status: 6/9 channels available ``` --- ## Design Philosophy **Agent Reach is a scaffolding tool, not a framework.** Every time you spin up a new Agent, you spend time finding tools, installing deps, and debugging configs β€” what reads Twitter? How do you bypass Reddit blocks? How do you extract YouTube subtitles? Every time, you re-do the same work. Agent Reach does one simple thing: **it makes those tool selection and configuration decisions for you.** After installation, your Agent calls the upstream tools directly (twitter-cli, rdt-cli, xhs-cli, yt-dlp, mcporter, gh CLI, etc.) β€” no wrapper layer in between. ### πŸ”Œ Every Channel is Pluggable Each platform maps to an upstream tool. **Don't like one? Swap it out.** ``` channels/ β”œβ”€β”€ web.py β†’ Jina Reader ← swap to Firecrawl, Crawl4AI… β”œβ”€β”€ twitter.py β†’ twitter-cli ← swap to official API… β”œβ”€β”€ youtube.py β†’ yt-dlp ← swap to YouTube API, Whisper… β”œβ”€β”€ github.py β†’ gh CLI ← swap to REST API, PyGithub… β”œβ”€β”€ bilibili.py β†’ yt-dlp ← swap to bilibili-api… β”œβ”€β”€ reddit.py β†’ rdt-cli ← search + read, cookie auth required β”œβ”€β”€ xiaohongshu.py β†’ mcporter MCP ← swap to other XHS tools… β”œβ”€β”€ douyin.py β†’ mcporter MCP ← swap to other Douyin tools… β”œβ”€β”€ linkedin.py β†’ linkedin-mcp ← swap to LinkedIn API… β”œβ”€β”€ rss.py β†’ feedparser ← swap to atoma… β”œβ”€β”€ exa_search.py β†’ mcporter MCP ← swap to Tavily, SerpAPI… └── __init__.py β†’ Channel registry (for doctor checks) ``` Each channel file only checks whether its upstream tool is installed and working (`check()` method for `agent-reach doctor`). The actual reading and searching is done by calling the upstream tools directly. ### Current Tool Choices | Scenario | Tool | Why | |----------|------|-----| | Read web pages | [Jina Reader](https://github.com/jina-ai/reader) | 9.8K stars, free, no API key needed | | Read tweets | [twitter-cli](https://github.com/public-clis/twitter-cli) | 2.1K stars, cookie auth, search/read/timeline/articles | | Reddit | [rdt-cli](https://github.com/public-clis/rdt-cli) | 304 stars, cookie auth, search + full posts + comments | | Video subtitles + search | [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) | 154K stars, YouTube + Bilibili + 1800 sites | | Bilibili enhanced | [bili-cli](https://github.com/public-clis/bilibili-cli) | 590 stars, hot/rank/search/feed | | Search the web | [Exa](https://exa.ai) via [mcporter](https://github.com/nicobailon/mcporter) | AI semantic search, MCP integration, no API key | | GitHub | [gh CLI](https://cli.github.com) | Official tool, full API after auth | | Read RSS | [feedparser](https://github.com/kurtmckee/feedparser) | Python ecosystem standard, 2.3K stars | | XiaoHongShu | [xhs-cli](https://github.com/jackwener/xiaohongshu-cli) | 1.5K stars, pipx install, search/read/comment/post | | Douyin | [douyin-mcp-server](https://github.com/yzfly/douyin-mcp-server) | MCP server, no login needed, video parsing + watermark-free download | | LinkedIn | [linkedin-scraper-mcp](https://github.com/stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server) | 1.2K stars, MCP server, browser automation | | WeChat Articles | [Exa](https://exa.ai) (search + read) + [Camoufox](https://github.com/daijro/camoufox) (optional) | Zero-config search + full article reading | | Weibo | `mcporter` | `mcporter call 'weibo.get_trendings(limit: 10)'` | | Xiaoyuzhou Podcast | `transcribe.sh` | `bash ~/.agent-reach/tools/xiaoyuzhou/transcribe.sh ` | > πŸ“Œ These are the *current* choices. Don't like one? Swap out the file. That's the whole point of scaffolding. --- ## Contributing This project was entirely vibe-coded 🎸 There might be rough edges here and there β€” sorry about that!

How to search Twitter/X with AI agent without paying for API? Agent Reach uses [twitter-cli](https://github.com/public-clis/twitter-cli) with cookie-based authentication β€” completely free, no Twitter API subscription needed. Install with `pipx install twitter-cli`, make sure you're logged into x.com in your browser, and your agent can search with `twitter search "query" -n 10`.
How to get YouTube video transcripts / subtitles for AI agent? `yt-dlp --dump-json "https://youtube.com/watch?v=xxx"` extracts video metadata; `yt-dlp --write-sub --skip-download "URL"` extracts subtitles. Supports multiple languages, no API key required.
Reddit returns 403 from server / datacenter IP blocked? Agent Reach uses [rdt-cli](https://github.com/public-clis/rdt-cli) for Reddit. Since 2024, Reddit requires authentication for all API requests. Install with `pipx install rdt-cli`, then run `rdt login` (auto-extracts cookies from your browser). Your agent can then search with `rdt search "query"` and read full posts + comments with `rdt read POST_ID`.
Does Agent Reach work with Claude Code / Cursor / Windsurf / OpenClaw? Yes! Agent Reach is an installer + configuration tool. Any AI coding agent that can execute shell commands can use it β€” Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenClaw, Codex, and more. Just `pip install agent-reach`, run `agent-reach install`, and the agent can start using the upstream tools immediately.
Is Agent Reach free? Any API costs? 100% free and open source. All backends (twitter-cli, rdt-cli, xhs-cli, yt-dlp, Jina Reader, Exa) are free tools that don't require paid API keys. The only optional cost is a residential proxy (~$1/month) if you need Bilibili access from a server. Reddit works free via rdt-cli without any proxy.
Free alternative to Twitter API for web scraping? Agent Reach uses twitter-cli which accesses Twitter via cookie auth β€” same as your browser session. No API fees, no rate limit tiers, no developer account needed. Supports search, read tweets, read profiles, and timelines.
How to read XiaoHongShu / 小纒书 content programmatically? Install `pipx install xiaohongshu-cli`, then `xhs login` (auto-extracts cookies from browser). Your agent can then use `xhs search "query"` to search notes, `xhs read NOTE_ID` to read details, `xhs comments NOTE_ID` to view comments. No Docker needed.
How to parse Douyin / ζŠ–ιŸ³ videos with AI agent? Install douyin-mcp-server, then your agent can use `mcporter call 'douyin.parse_douyin_video_info(share_link: "share_url")'` to parse video info and get watermark-free download links. No login required β€” just share the Douyin link. See https://github.com/yzfly/douyin-mcp-server
How to extract scripts from both Douyin and XiaoHongShu with one MCP? If you want one MCP server that can handle: - Douyin videos - XiaoHongShu video notes - XiaoHongShu image notes and directly write `script.md` + `info.json`, you can point the existing `douyin` mcporter alias at: - https://github.com/JNHFlow21/social-post-extractor-mcp It keeps backward compatibility with: - `parse_douyin_video_info` - `get_douyin_download_link` - `extract_douyin_text` and adds unified tools: - `parse_social_post_info` - `extract_social_post_script` This is useful when your agent workflow is β€œpaste a link, get a script file”.
