Agent Reach — Usage Guide

Upstream tools for 13 platforms. Call them directly.

Run agent-reach doctor to check which channels are available.

⚠️ Workspace Rules

Never create files in the agent workspace. Use /tmp/ for temporary output and ~/.agent-reach/ for persistent data.

Web — Any URL

curl -s "https://r.jina.ai/URL"

Web Search (Exa)

mcporter call 'exa.web_search_exa(query: "query", numResults: 5)'
mcporter call 'exa.get_code_context_exa(query: "code question", tokensNum: 3000)'

Twitter/X (twitter-cli)

twitter -c search "query" -n 10            # search (-c = compact JSON, LLM-friendly)
twitter -c tweet URL_OR_ID                 # read tweet + replies (supports /status/ URLs)
twitter -c article URL_OR_ID               # read a Twitter Article
twitter -c user-posts @username -n 20      # user timeline
twitter -c feed -n 20                      # home timeline

Binary is twitter (pipx install twitter-cli, ≥ 0.8.5). The bird name in older docs has been retired. If search returns 404, run pipx upgrade twitter-cli.

YouTube (yt-dlp)

yt-dlp --dump-json "URL"                     # video metadata
yt-dlp --write-sub --write-auto-sub --sub-lang "zh-Hans,zh,en" --skip-download -o "/tmp/%(id)s" "URL"
                                             # download subtitles, then read the .vtt file
yt-dlp --dump-json "ytsearch5:query"         # search

Bilibili (yt-dlp)

yt-dlp --dump-json "https://www.bilibili.com/video/BVxxx"
yt-dlp --write-sub --write-auto-sub --sub-lang "zh-Hans,zh,en" --convert-subs vtt --skip-download -o "/tmp/%(id)s" "URL"

Server IPs may get 412. Use --cookies-from-browser chrome or configure a proxy.

Reddit

curl -s "https://www.reddit.com/r/SUBREDDIT/hot.json?limit=10" -H "User-Agent: agent-reach/1.0"
curl -s "https://www.reddit.com/search.json?q=QUERY&limit=10" -H "User-Agent: agent-reach/1.0"

Server IPs may get 403. Search via Exa instead, or configure a proxy.

GitHub (gh CLI)

gh search repos "query" --sort stars --limit 10
gh repo view owner/repo
gh search code "query" --language python
gh issue list -R owner/repo --state open
gh issue view 123 -R owner/repo

XiaoHongShu (mcporter)

mcporter call 'xiaohongshu.search_feeds(keyword: "query")'
mcporter call 'xiaohongshu.get_feed_detail(feed_id: "xxx", xsec_token: "yyy")'
mcporter call 'xiaohongshu.get_feed_detail(feed_id: "xxx", xsec_token: "yyy", load_all_comments: true)'
mcporter call 'xiaohongshu.publish_content(title: "Title", content: "Body text", images: ["/path/img.jpg"], tags: ["tag"])'

Requires login. Use Cookie-Editor to import cookies.

Tip: Clean bloated output. The XHS API returns large JSON with many unused fields. Pipe through the formatter to save context:

mcporter call 'xiaohongshu.search_feeds(keyword: "query")' | agent-reach format xhs

This keeps only: title, content, author, engagement counts, image URLs, and tags.

Xiaoyuzhou Podcast (groq-whisper + ffmpeg)

# Transcribe a single podcast episode (outputs text to /tmp/)
~/.agent-reach/tools/xiaoyuzhou/transcribe.sh "https://www.xiaoyuzhoufm.com/episode/EPISODE_ID"

Requires ffmpeg and a Groq API key (free). Configure the key with agent-reach configure groq-key YOUR_KEY. On first run, install the tools with agent-reach install --env=auto. Run agent-reach doctor to check status. Output Markdown files are saved to /tmp/ by default.

LinkedIn (mcporter)

mcporter call 'linkedin.get_person_profile(linkedin_url: "https://linkedin.com/in/username")'
mcporter call 'linkedin.search_people(keyword: "AI engineer", limit: 10)'

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

V2EX (public API)

# Hot topics
curl -s "https://www.v2ex.com/api/topics/hot.json" -H "User-Agent: agent-reach/1.0"

# Topics in a node (node_name examples: python, tech, jobs, qna)
curl -s "https://www.v2ex.com/api/topics/show.json?node_name=python&page=1" -H "User-Agent: agent-reach/1.0"

# Topic details (extract topic_id from URLs like https://www.v2ex.com/t/1234567)
curl -s "https://www.v2ex.com/api/topics/show.json?id=TOPIC_ID" -H "User-Agent: agent-reach/1.0"

# Topic replies
curl -s "https://www.v2ex.com/api/replies/show.json?topic_id=TOPIC_ID&page=1" -H "User-Agent: agent-reach/1.0"

# User profile
curl -s "https://www.v2ex.com/api/members/show.json?username=USERNAME" -H "User-Agent: agent-reach/1.0"

Python example (V2EXChannel):

from agent_reach.channels.v2ex import V2EXChannel

ch = V2EXChannel()

# Get hot topics (default 20 items)
# Returned fields: id, title, url, replies, node_name, node_title, content(first 200 chars), created
topics = ch.get_hot_topics(limit=10)
for t in topics:
    print(f"[{t['node_title']}] {t['title']} ({t['replies']} replies) {t['url']}")
    print(f"  id={t['id']} created={t['created']}")

# Get latest topics for a specific node
# Returned fields: id, title, url, replies, node_name, node_title, content(first 200 chars), created
node_topics = ch.get_node_topics("python", limit=5)
for t in node_topics:
    print(t["id"], t["title"], t["url"])

# Get one topic plus replies
# Returned fields: id, title, url, content, replies_count, node_name, node_title,
#                  author, created, replies (list of {author, content, created})
topic = ch.get_topic(1234567)
print(topic["title"], "—", topic["author"])
for r in topic["replies"]:
    print(f"  {r['author']}: {r['content'][:80]}")

# Get user info
# Returned fields: id, username, url, website, twitter, psn, github, btc, location, bio, avatar, created
user = ch.get_user("Livid")
print(user["username"], user["bio"], user["github"])

# Search (not supported by the public V2EX API; returns guidance instead)
result = ch.search("asyncio")
print(result[0]["error"])  # Use built-in site search or the Exa channel instead

No auth required. Results are public JSON. V2EX node names are listed at https://www.v2ex.com/planes

Xueqiu (public API)

from agent_reach.channels.xueqiu import XueqiuChannel

ch = XueqiuChannel()

# Get stock quotes (symbol examples: SH600519 mainland China, SZ000858 Shenzhen, AAPL US, 00700 HK)
# Returned fields: symbol, name, current, percent, chg, high, low, open, last_close,
#                  volume, amount, market_capital, turnover_rate, pe_ttm, timestamp
quote = ch.get_stock_quote("AAPL")
print(f"{quote['name']} ({quote['symbol']}): {quote['current']} ({quote['percent']}%)")

# Search stocks
# Returned fields: symbol, name, exchange
stocks = ch.search_stock("Apple", limit=5)
for s in stocks:
    print(f"{s['name']} ({s['symbol']}) - {s['exchange']}")

# Hot posts
# Returned fields: id, title, text(first 200 chars), author, likes, url
posts = ch.get_hot_posts(limit=10)
for p in posts:
    print(f"{p['author']}: {p['text'][:50]}... ({p['likes']} likes)")

# Hot stocks (stock_type=10 popularity ranking, stock_type=12 watchlist ranking)
# Returned fields: symbol, name, current, percent, rank
hot = ch.get_hot_stocks(limit=10, stock_type=10)
for s in hot:
    print(f"#{s['rank']} {s['name']} ({s['symbol']}): {s['current']} ({s['percent']}%)")

No login required. Agent Reach auto-fetches session cookies, and all public APIs can be used directly.

RSS (feedparser)

python3 -c "
import feedparser
for e in feedparser.parse('FEED_URL').entries[:5]:
    print(f'{e.title} — {e.link}')
"

Troubleshooting

• Channel not working? Run agent-reach doctor — it shows status and fix instructions.
• Twitter fetch failed? Ensure undici is installed: npm install -g undici. Configure a proxy if needed: agent-reach configure proxy URL.

Setting Up a Channel ("help me configure XXX")

If a channel needs setup (cookies, Docker, etc.), fetch the install guide: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Panniantong/agent-reach/main/docs/install.md

The user only provides cookies. Everything else is your job.
