agent-reach

Original：🇺🇸 English
Translated

Give your AI agent eyes to see the entire internet. Read and search across Twitter/X, Reddit, YouTube, GitHub, Bilibili, XiaoHongShu, RSS, and any web page — all from a single CLI. Use when: (1) reading content from URLs (tweets, Reddit posts, articles, videos), (2) searching across platforms (web, Twitter, Reddit, GitHub, YouTube, Bilibili, XiaoHongShu), (3) checking channel health or updating Agent Reach. Triggers: "search Twitter/Reddit/YouTube", "read this URL", "find posts about", "搜索", "读取", "查一下", "看看这个链接".

Agent Reach

Read and search the internet across 9+ platforms via unified CLI.

Setup

First check if agent-reach is installed:
bash
agent-reach doctor
If command not found, install it:
bash
pip install https://github.com/Panniantong/agent-reach/archive/main.zip
agent-reach install --env=auto
install
auto-detects your environment and installs all dependencies (Node.js, mcporter, bird CLI, gh CLI). Read the output and run 
agent-reach doctor
to see what's active.
For channels that need user input, ask the user. See the full setup guide: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Panniantong/agent-reach/main/docs/install.md

bash
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

Channel Status Tiers

  • Tier 0 (zero config): Web, YouTube, RSS, Twitter (read-only via Jina)
  • Tier 1 (free setup): Exa web search (mcporter required)
  • Tier 2 (user config): Twitter search (cookie), Reddit full (proxy), GitHub (token), Bilibili (proxy), XiaoHongShu (MCP)
Run 
agent-reach doctor
to see which channels are active.

Tips

  • Always try 
    agent-reach read <url>
    first for any URL — it auto-detects the platform
  • For Twitter cookies, recommend the user install Cookie-Editor Chrome extension
  • Reddit and Bilibili block server IPs — suggest a residential proxy (~$1/month) if on a server
  • If a channel breaks, run 
    agent-reach doctor
    to diagnose
