All three had rotted past honest usability:
- Douyin's upstream (yzfly/douyin-mcp-server) is archived and required a
4-step manual local-server setup nobody could complete
- Weibo depended on an unmaintained personal fork (mcp-server-weibo)
- WeChat full-article reading was increasingly blocked by anti-bot
(#339) while doctor still advertised it as zero-config
Removes the channel files, installers, skill routing/trigger entries,
reference sections and README rows (zh+en). Honest counts: 13 platforms,
6 zero-config. They can return when maintained upstreams exist.
Follows the v1.4.0 precedent of removing Discord/Toutiao (#234).

PyPI still only has rdt-cli 0.4.1 while the doctor hint required >=0.4.2, so the suggested install command always failed. Installs from the upstream GitHub repo pinned to the 0.4.2 commit instead, and syncs all four docs that still taught the PyPI path. Verified locally: clean-venv install from the pinned source yields rdt 0.4.2 and rdt status works. 86 tests pass. Fixes#294.
The English README was missing two things present in the Chinese README: the OpenClaw 'exec' permission prerequisite (without it the Agent silently can't run install commands) and the --safe install mode. Both refer to real, supported features (cli.py exposes --safe; install.md documents it). Also align the Chinese README's Python badge alt-text (3.8+ -> 3.10+) with requires-python and the badge image.

Reddit requires authentication since 2024 (all API requests return 403
without a valid session cookie). Updated all 4 language versions (zh, en,
ja, ko) to reflect this: platform tables, tool choice tables, architecture
diagrams, and FAQ sections.
Also fixed Chinese README architecture diagram: reddit.py backend corrected
from Exa to rdt-cli, wechat.py backend corrected from camoufox+miku to Exa.
Fixed Japanese README reddit.py swap suggestions (removed outdated PRAW/Pushshift).

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.
* 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.

- 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
Upstream bzd6661/wechat-article-for-ai has a bug where Tag.new_tag
is None in BS4 4.12+. Our fork fixes this.

Fixes#110 and #115. Since OpenClaw 2026-01 disabled the exec tool by
default, users on OpenClaw can't run any agent-reach commands unless
exec is explicitly enabled.
Added:
- Warning callout before '快速上手' explaining exec requirement for
OpenClaw users with the exact config command to use
- Note in the FAQ 'Compatible with Claude Code / OpenClaw...' entry
with the same fix instructions
Closes#110Closes#115

* feat: auto-install WeChat article tools during agent-reach install
WeChat (微信公众号) deps are now auto-installed during 'agent-reach install':
- Python packages: camoufox[geoip], markdownify, beautifulsoup4, httpx, miku_ai
- Tool repo: wechat-article-for-ai cloned to ~/.agent-reach/tools/
No login or configuration needed — works out of the box like YouTube/RSS.
Updated README tables to reflect zero-config status.
Also covers safe mode and dry-run.
* feat: auto-install WeChat + add channel-setup reference to SKILL.md
1. WeChat auto-install during 'agent-reach install':
- pip install camoufox[geoip], markdownify, bs4, httpx, miku_ai
- clone wechat-article-for-ai to ~/.agent-reach/tools/
- covers safe mode and dry-run
- README tables: WeChat → zero-config
2. SKILL.md improvements:
- Added 'configure' triggers to description
- Added references/channel-setup.md with install steps for all
login-required platforms (Twitter, XHS, Douyin, LinkedIn, Boss)
- Principle: user only provides cookies, agent does everything else
* simplify: point to install.md URL instead of bundled reference
No need to maintain a separate channel-setup.md. Just tell agents
to fetch install.md when they need setup instructions.
