Agent Reach

Install and configure upstream tools for 13+ platforms. After setup, call them directly — no wrapper layer.

Workspace Rules

Never create files, clone repos, or write output in the agent workspace. Use these directories instead:

Violating this will pollute the user's workspace and degrade their agent experience over time.

Setup

pip install https://github.com/Panniantong/agent-reach/archive/main.zip
agent-reach install --env=auto
agent-reach doctor

install auto-detects your environment and installs core dependencies (Node.js, mcporter, xreach CLI, gh CLI, yt-dlp, feedparser). Run doctor to see what's active.

Management

agent-reach doctor        # channel status overview
agent-reach watch         # quick health + update check
agent-reach check-update  # check for new versions

Configure channels

agent-reach configure twitter-cookies "auth_token=xxx; ct0=yyy"
agent-reach configure proxy http://user:pass@ip:port
agent-reach configure --from-browser chrome    # auto-extract cookies from local browser

Configuring a channel

When a user asks to configure/enable any channel:

1. Run agent-reach doctor
2. Find the channel — it shows status (✅/⚠️/⬜) and what to do next
3. Execute what you can automatically (install packages, start services)
4. For human-required steps (paste cookies), tell the user what to do
5. Run agent-reach doctor again to verify

Do NOT memorize per-channel steps. Always rely on doctor output.

Cookie Import (Universal for all login-required platforms)

Important: Platforms using cookie login have account ban risks. Remind users to use a dedicated secondary account.

For all platforms requiring cookies (Twitter, XiaoHongShu, etc.), prefer Cookie-Editor import:

1. User logs into the platform in their browser
2. Install Cookie-Editor Chrome extension
3. Click extension → Export → Header String
4. Send the exported string to the Agent

Local computer users can also use agent-reach configure --from-browser chrome for automatic extraction.

QR code login is a backup option (only for local environments with browser), Cookie-Editor is simpler and more reliable.

Other human actions

• Proxy: Reddit/Bilibili/XiaoHongShu may block server IPs — suggest a residential proxy if on a server

Using Upstream Tools Directly

After agent-reach install, call the upstream tools directly.

Note: agent-reach is an installer and config tool — it does NOT have read, search, or content-fetching commands. Use the upstream tools below instead.

Twitter/X (xreach CLI)

# Search tweets
xreach search "query" --json -n 10

# Read a specific tweet
xreach tweet https://x.com/user/status/123 --json

# Read a user's timeline
xreach tweets @username --json -n 20

YouTube (yt-dlp)

yt-dlp requires JS runtime for YouTube downloads. agent-reach install auto-configures Node.js as runtime. If you see "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot", the IP is blocked by YouTube anti-crawler. Switch proxy or add cookies.

# Get video metadata
yt-dlp --dump-json "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxx"

# Download subtitles only
yt-dlp --write-sub --write-auto-sub --sub-lang "zh-Hans,zh,en" --skip-download -o "/tmp/%(id)s" "URL"
# Then read the .vtt file

# Search (yt-dlp ytsearch)
yt-dlp --dump-json "ytsearch5:query"

# If "no JS runtime" warning: ensure Node.js is installed, then run:
#   mkdir -p ~/.config/yt-dlp && echo "--js-runtimes node" >> ~/.config/yt-dlp/config

Bilibili (yt-dlp)

Server IPs may be blocked by Bilibili (412 error). Recommend using proxy or add --cookies-from-browser chrome.

# Get video metadata
yt-dlp --dump-json "https://www.bilibili.com/video/BVxxx"

# Download subtitles
yt-dlp --write-sub --write-auto-sub --sub-lang "zh-Hans,zh,en" --convert-subs vtt --skip-download -o "/tmp/%(id)s" "URL"

# If blocked (412 / login required):
yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser chrome --dump-json "URL"

Reddit (JSON API)

# Read a subreddit
curl -s "https://www.reddit.com/r/python/hot.json?limit=10" -H "User-Agent: agent-reach/1.0"

# Read a post with comments
curl -s "https://www.reddit.com/r/python/comments/POST_ID.json" -H "User-Agent: agent-reach/1.0"

# Search
curl -s "https://www.reddit.com/search.json?q=query&limit=10" -H "User-Agent: agent-reach/1.0"

Note: On servers, Reddit may block your IP. Use proxy or search via Exa instead.

XiaoHongShu (mcporter + xiaohongshu-mcp)

Requires login. Import cookies via Cookie-Editor or QR code login.

# Search posts
mcporter call 'xiaohongshu.search_feeds(keyword: "query")'

# Get post details (with comments)
mcporter call 'xiaohongshu.get_feed_detail(feed_id: "xxx", xsec_token: "yyy")'

# Get all comments
mcporter call 'xiaohongshu.get_feed_detail(feed_id: "xxx", xsec_token: "yyy", load_all_comments: true)'

# Publish image post
mcporter call 'xiaohongshu.publish_content(title: "Title", content: "Content", images: ["/path/to/img.jpg"], tags: ["food"])'

# Publish video post
mcporter call 'xiaohongshu.publish_with_video(title: "Title", content: "Content", video: "/path/to/video.mp4", tags: ["vlog"])'

Other features (like, collect, comment, user profile, etc.): npx mcporter list xiaohongshu

Douyin (mcporter + douyin-mcp-server)

# Parse Douyin video info (share link -> title, author, watermark-free video URL, etc.)
mcporter call 'douyin.parse_douyin_video_info(share_link: "https://v.douyin.com/xxx/")'

# Get watermark-free video download link
mcporter call 'douyin.get_douyin_download_link(share_link: "https://v.douyin.com/xxx/")'

# AI extract video voice transcript (requires SiliconFlow API Key)
mcporter call 'douyin.extract_douyin_text(share_link: "https://v.douyin.com/xxx/")'

No login required to parse videos. Supports both Douyin share links and direct links.

GitHub (gh CLI)

# Search repos
gh search repos "query" --sort stars --limit 10

# View a repo
gh repo view owner/repo

# Search code
gh search code "query" --language python

# List issues
gh issue list -R owner/repo --state open

# View a specific issue/PR
gh issue view 123 -R owner/repo

Web — Any URL (Jina Reader)

# Read any webpage as markdown
curl -s "https://r.jina.ai/URL" -H "Accept: text/markdown"

# Search the web
curl -s "https://s.jina.ai/query" -H "Accept: text/markdown"

Exa Search (mcporter + exa MCP)

# Web search
mcporter call 'exa.web_search_exa(query: "query", numResults: 5)'

# Code search (GitHub, StackOverflow, docs)
mcporter call 'exa.get_code_context_exa(query: "how to parse JSON in Python", tokensNum: 3000)'

# Company research
mcporter call 'exa.company_research_exa(companyName: "OpenAI")'

LinkedIn (mcporter + linkedin-scraper-mcp)

# View a profile
mcporter call 'linkedin.get_person_profile(linkedin_url: "https://linkedin.com/in/username")'

# Search people
mcporter call 'linkedin.search_people(keyword: "AI engineer", limit: 10)'

# View company
mcporter call 'linkedin.get_company_profile(linkedin_url: "https://linkedin.com/company/xxx")'

Fallback: curl -s "https://r.jina.ai/https://linkedin.com/in/username"

Boss Zhipin (mcporter + mcp-bosszp)

# Browse recommended jobs
mcporter call 'bosszhipin.get_recommend_jobs_tool(page: 1)'

# Search jobs
mcporter call 'bosszhipin.search_jobs_tool(keyword: "Python", city: "Beijing", page: 1)'

# View job details
mcporter call 'bosszhipin.get_job_detail_tool(job_url: "https://www.zhipin.com/job_detail/xxx")'

Fallback: curl -s "https://r.jina.ai/https://www.zhipin.com/job_detail/xxx"

WeChat Official Accounts (wechat-article-for-ai + miku_ai)

Search (miku_ai — Sogou WeChat search):

# Search WeChat articles by keyword
python3 -c "
import asyncio
from miku_ai import get_wexin_article

async def search():
    articles = await get_wexin_article('AI Agent', 5)
    for a in articles:
        print(f'{a[\"title\"]} | {a[\"source\"]} | {a[\"date\"]}')
        print(f'  {a[\"url\"]}')

asyncio.run(search())
"

Read (Camoufox — stealth Firefox, bypasses WeChat anti-bot):

# Read a WeChat article (returns Markdown with images)
cd ~/.agent-reach/tools/wechat-article-for-ai && python3 main.py "https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/ARTICLE_ID"

# Run as MCP server (for AI agent integration)
python3 mcp_server.py

Typical agent workflow: search → get URLs → immediately read full content.

Note: WeChat articles require a real browser to render. Jina Reader and curl cannot read them.

RSS (feedparser)

python3 -c "
import feedparser
d = feedparser.parse('https://example.com/feed')
for e in d.entries[:5]:
    print(f'{e.title} — {e.link}')
"

Troubleshooting

Twitter "fetch failed"

xreach CLI uses Node.js undici, which doesn't respect HTTP_PROXY. Solutions:

1. Ensure undici is installed: npm install -g undici
2. Configure proxy: agent-reach configure proxy http://user:pass@ip:port
3. If still failing, use transparent proxy (Clash TUN, Proxifier)

Channel broken?

Run agent-reach doctor — it shows what's wrong and how to fix it.
