Base install now only sets up lightweight zero-config channels (Web, YouTube,
GitHub, RSS, Exa, V2EX, Bilibili basic). Optional channels (Twitter, Weibo,
WeChat, Xiaoyuzhou, XiaoHongShu, Reddit, Bilibili full, Douyin, LinkedIn)
are installed on demand via --channels flag.
- Add --channels param to install subcommand
- Extract twitter/xhs/reddit/bili into independent install functions
- Remove heavy deps (weibo/xiaoyuzhou/wechat/twitter-cli/xhs-cli) from
default _install_system_deps() and _install_mcporter()
- Cookie import only triggers when cookie-needing channels are selected
- Doctor output: inactive optional channels summarized in one line
- install.md: two-step flow (basics → ask user which channels)

Reddit: Exa crawling had chronic CRAWL_LIVECRAWL_TIMEOUT issues.
rdt-cli (304 stars, public-clis) works without login — search, read
full posts, and comments all verified. Massive improvement.
Bilibili: add bili-cli (590 stars) as optional enhanced backend for
hot/rank/search/feed. yt-dlp remains for video metadata + subtitles.
Also fix UA string (was "agent-reach/1.0", now proper browser UA).
75 tests passing.

Discord only returns server metadata (no messages without Bot Token),
not useful enough. Toutiao search was fragile (HTML scraping). Both
can be revisited when better upstream tools appear.
75 tests passing.

miku_ai (Sogou WeChat search) has been unmaintained for 20 months.
Exa can search AND read WeChat articles via mp.weixin.qq.com domain
filtering — verified: search returns articles, crawling returns full text.
Jina Reader fails on WeChat (CAPTCHA block).
- wechat.py: check() now detects Exa (primary) + Camoufox (optional)
- tier downgraded from 2 to 0 (Exa is zero-config)
- skill/references/web.md: updated WeChat commands to use Exa
- 104 tests passing

browser_cookie3 has been unmaintained for 15+ months and breaks with
newer browser versions. rookiepy (Rust-based, 345 stars, updated 2026-01)
is now the preferred cookie extraction backend.
- xueqiu.py: try rookiepy first, fallback to browser_cookie3
- cookie_extract.py: same priority order, compatible API wrapper
- Remove bird CLI credential sync (bird repo deleted)
- 104 tests passing

Zero-config channel (tier=0). Uses Discord Invite API to read public
server info (no auth), and Exa via mcporter for content search.
Tested: discord.gg/python returns 419K members, description, channel.
104 tests passing.

Zero-config channel (tier=0). Searches so.toutiao.com by scraping
embedded JSON from script tags. Fixes URL extraction order from PR #207
(article_url is the primary field, not display.info.url). Adds read()
via Jina Reader. 89 tests passing.

- Clarify that localhost:18060 root may return 404 (MCP is at /mcp)
- Recommend Cookie-Editor export over QR scan login
- Note that Docker container QR login is unreliable and cookies
don't auto-share to MCP service
Fixes#220

Reddit blocks nearly all non-browser access at IP level (including ISP proxies).
Switch Reddit channel to use Exa exclusively:
- Search: web_search_exa with includeDomains: ["reddit.com"]
- Read: crawling_exa for full post + comments
- check() now verifies Exa availability instead of probing Reddit API
- tier changed from 1 (needs config) to 0 (zero config)
- Removed reddit_proxy from config, CLI, and setup guide
- Updated all docs (README, README_en, install.md, SKILL.md, references)
- Fixed xreach→bird references in references/social.md
Fixes#218, Fixes#222, Fixes#221

The Xueqiu stock API requires a login session token (xq_a_token) that
is generated by Xueqiu's frontend JavaScript and cannot be obtained by
simply visiting the homepage. This caused persistent HTTP 400 (error
code 400016) for all users.
Changes:
- _ensure_cookies(): add three-level priority — config file (saved by
--from-browser) → live Chrome cookies via browser_cookie3 → homepage
fallback. The homepage-only approach only ever got acw_tc (anti-DDoS
token), never xq_a_token.
- _get_json(): switch User-Agent from "agent-reach/1.0" to a real Chrome
UA, and add Referer: https://xueqiu.com/ to all API requests.
- get_hot_posts(): replace the defunct /statuses/hot/listV3.json endpoint
(returns empty body) with the v4 public timeline endpoint; correctly
parse item.data as a JSON string to extract author, text, and likes.
- cookie_extract.py: add Xueqiu to PLATFORM_SPECS and configure_from_browser
so that `agent-reach configure --from-browser chrome` now also saves
Xueqiu cookies (only when xq_a_token is present).
- check(): improve error message to direct users to --from-browser instead
of suggesting a proxy.
- Fix urllib.parse.quote usage (was using urllib.request.quote).
- Update tier and backends description to reflect cookie requirement.
- Add 2 new tests: cookie loading from config, Referer/UA header verification.
- Update docs: README, install guide, troubleshooting, SKILL.md, CHANGELOG.
- Add 'agent-reach skill --install/--uninstall' command for explicit skill management
- Make 'agent-reach doctor' auto-install skill if not present (fixes#154)
- Add format_xhs_result() to strip bloated XHS JSON to essential fields (fixes#134)
- Add 'agent-reach format xhs' CLI command (pipe mcporter output to clean it)
- Update SKILL.md with XHS formatter usage tip
- Add tests for both features (11 new tests, 73/73 total pass)

* feat: add Xueqiu (雪球) channel for stock quotes and community posts
Add a Tier 0 (zero-config) channel for Xueqiu, China's popular stock
market and investment community platform. Uses auto-generated session
cookies via http.cookiejar — no login required.
Supported methods:
- get_stock_quote(symbol) — real-time quotes (A/HK/US markets)
- search_stock(query) — search by name or code
- get_hot_posts(limit) — trending community posts
- get_hot_stocks(limit, stock_type) — popular stocks leaderboard
Inspired by https://github.com/jackwener/opencli xueqiu implementation.

miku_ai is installed inside the agent-reach Python environment (pipx venv
or user venv). Using bare 'python3' fails when agent-reach was installed
via pipx, because system python3 cannot import miku_ai.
Fix: detect the correct interpreter at runtime via:
$(python3 -c "import agent_reach, sys; print(sys.executable)")
This resolves the interpreter transparently for pipx, venv, and plain pip
installs without hardcoding paths.
Closes#187

- Add 10 mcporter command examples for Weibo channel
- Cover: trending, search (users/content/topics), profile, feeds, comments, fans/followers
- Note: zero config, no login needed, uses mobile API with auto visitor cookies
- Completes documentation for mcp-server-weibo integration

- Replace xreach CLI with bird (@steipete/bird) as Twitter/X backend
- bird uses AUTH_TOKEN/CT0 env vars (simpler than xreach's session.json)
- Accept both 'bird' and 'birdx' binary names
- Remove version detection logic (bird v0.8.0 is the baseline)
- Write credentials.env to ~/.config/bird/ for easy sourcing
- Keep xfetch session.json sync for backward compatibility
- Update SKILL.md commands: bird search/read/user-tweets/thread
- Update install/uninstall to use npm @steipete/bird
- All 52 tests pass
- Change fallback cookie path from relative 'cookies.json' to absolute
'/app/cookies.json' so docker cp works correctly when COOKIES_PATH env
var is not set in older container images
- Also fix except branch to use the same absolute fallback
- Auto-restart container after writing cookies so the upstream MCP
reloads them from disk without requiring manual intervention
Fixes#175
Reddit API requires a non-empty User-Agent header per its API rules.
Without it, the JSON endpoint returns 403 even when Reddit is reachable,
causing doctor to falsely report the channel as unavailable.
Changes:
- Add _reddit_reachable() helper that probes Reddit JSON API with UA
- doctor check() now distinguishes 'actually unreachable' from 'no proxy'
- Users on home IPs get 'ok' when Reddit is reachable; warn only on real failure
Fixes#168
The description field was 1204 characters, exceeding the 1024-character
maximum enforced by Codex and other MCP clients. This caused
'invalid description: exceeds maximum length of 1024 characters'
errors that prevented the skill from loading.
Changes:
- Removed star count (changes frequently, not essential for matching)
- Removed Chinese aliases in parentheses (redundant with trigger list)
- Consolidated 'Use when' into a single concise sentence
- Deduplicated trigger keywords (kept most distinctive ones)
New length: 661 chars (well within 1024 limit).
- Replace brittle '"status": "ok"' string match with proper JSON parsing
in _mcporter_status_ok(). Handles Windows BOM, CRLF line endings, and
whitespace variations that caused false negatives on Windows + mcporter 0.7.3.
- Fallback to normalised string matching for backward compatibility.
- Extend config-get timeout to 15 s and list timeout to 30 s on Windows
(unchanged on Linux/macOS: 5 s / 10 s).
Fixes#159
