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 ("帮我配 XXX")

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 导入（所有需要登录的平台通用）

⚠️ 重要提醒： 使用 Cookie 登录的平台存在封号风险，请提醒用户务必使用专用小号。

所有需要 Cookie 的平台（Twitter、小红书等），优先使用 Cookie-Editor 导入：

1. 用户在自己的浏览器登录对应平台
2. 安装 Cookie-Editor Chrome 插件
3. 点击插件 → Export → Header String
4. 把导出的字符串发给 Agent

本地电脑用户也可以用 agent-reach configure --from-browser chrome 一键自动提取。

扫码登录是备选方案（仅限本地有浏览器的情况），Cookie-Editor 更简单可靠。

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 需要 JS runtime 才能下载 YouTube。agent-reach install 会自动配置 Node.js 作为 runtime。 如果遇到 "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot"，是 IP 被 YouTube 反爬，换代理或加 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)

⚠️ 服务器 IP 可能被 Bilibili 拦截（412 错误）。建议通过代理访问，或加 --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.

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

微信公众号 (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.
