-# Twitter 高级功能配置指南(bird CLI)
+# Twitter 高级功能配置指南(xreach CLI)
-## 功能说明
-基础 Twitter 功能(搜索+读单条推文)无需配置,开箱即用。
+Twitter 基础阅读通过 Jina Reader 免费可用,无需配置。
-高级功能需要 bird CLI:
-- 查看用户时间线
-- 深度搜索(更精确、更多结果)
-- 读取完整线程(thread)
-- 查看关注列表推文
+高级功能需要 xreach CLI:
-bird 是免费开源工具(npm 包 @steipete/bird),但需要你的 Twitter 账号 cookie。
+- 搜索推文(`xreach search`)
+- 读取完整推文和对话链(`xreach tweet`、`xreach thread`)
+- 用户时间线(`xreach tweets`)
-## Agent 可自动完成的步骤
+xreach 是免费开源工具(npm 包 xreach-cli),但需要你的 Twitter 账号 cookie。
+
+## 快速配置
+
+1. 检查 xreach 是否安装:
-1. 检查 bird 是否安装:
```bash
-which bird && echo "installed" || echo "not installed"
+which xreach && echo "installed" || echo "not installed"
```
-2. 安装 bird:
+2. 安装 xreach:
+
```bash
-npm install -g @steipete/bird
+npm install -g xreach-cli
```
-3. 测试(需要先配置 cookie):
+3. 测试是否配置好:
+
```bash
-AUTH_TOKEN="xxx" CT0="yyy" bird search "test" -n 1
+AUTH_TOKEN="xxx" CT0="yyy" xreach search "test" -n 1
```
-4. 用 agent-reach 配置 cookie(推荐):
+## 获取 Cookie(Cookie-Editor 方式,推荐)
+
+1. 安装 [Cookie-Editor](https://cookie-editor.com/) 浏览器扩展
+2. 登录 x.com
+3. 点击 Cookie-Editor 图标 → Export → 复制全部
+4. 运行配置命令:
+
```bash
-agent-reach configure twitter-cookies "auth_token=xxx; ct0=yyy"
+agent-reach configure twitter-cookies "粘贴的 cookie JSON"
```
-## 需要用户手动做的步骤
+这会自动提取 `auth_token` 和 `ct0`,并写入环境变量。
-请告诉用户:
+## 手动设置 Cookie
-> Twitter 高级功能需要你的 Twitter 账号 cookie(完全免费)。
->
-> **最简单的方式:**
-> 1. 安装 Chrome 插件 [Cookie-Editor](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cookie-editor/hlkenndednhfkekhgcdicdfddnkalmdm)
-> 2. 打开 https://x.com 并确保已登录
-> 3. 点击 Cookie-Editor 插件图标 → Export → Header String
-> 4. 把导出的内容发给我
->
-> **手动方式:**
-> 1. 用 Chrome 打开 https://x.com 并确保你已登录
-> 2. 按 **F12** 打开开发者工具(Mac 按 Cmd+Option+I)
-> 3. 点击顶部的 **Application**(应用)标签
-> 4. 左侧找到 **Cookies** → **https://x.com**
-> 5. 在列表中找到以下两个值,双击复制:
-> - **auth_token** — 一串字母数字
-> - **ct0** — 一串字母数字
-> 6. 把这两个值发给我
->
-> ⚠️ 这些 cookie 让我能以你的身份读取推文(只读)。我不会发推、点赞或做任何操作。
-> ⚠️ cookie 大约 1-3 个月会过期,届时需要重新导出。
+如果你已经知道 `auth_token` 和 `ct0`:
-## Agent 收到 cookie 后的操作
+1. 安装 xreach(如果没装):`npm install -g xreach-cli`
-1. 安装 bird(如果没装):`npm install -g @steipete/bird`
-2. 配置 cookie:`agent-reach configure twitter-cookies "粘贴的内容"`
-3. 测试:运行 `agent-reach doctor` 确认 Twitter 状态
-4. 反馈:"✅ Twitter 高级功能已开启!现在可以搜索推文、查看时间线了。"
-5. 如果失败:"❌ Cookie 无效或已过期,请重新导出。"
+2. 设置环境变量:
+
+```bash
+export AUTH_TOKEN="你的auth_token"
+export CT0="你的ct0"
+```
+
+3. 测试:
+
+```bash
+xreach search "test" --auth-token "$AUTH_TOKEN" --ct0 "$CT0" -n 1
+```
+
+## 代理配置
+
+> xreach CLI 内置代理支持,通过 `--proxy` 参数传入:
+
+```bash
+xreach search "test" --auth-token "$AUTH_TOKEN" --ct0 "$CT0" --proxy "http://user:pass@host:port"
+```
+
+也支持代理轮换文件:
+
+```bash
+xreach search "test" --auth-token "$AUTH_TOKEN" --ct0 "$CT0" --proxy-file proxies.txt
+```

-## Twitter/X: bird CLI "fetch failed"
+## Twitter/X: xreach CLI "fetch failed"
-**症状:** `bird whoami` 或 `bird search` 返回 "fetch failed"
+**症状:** `xreach search` 或其他命令返回 "fetch failed"
-**原因:** bird CLI 使用 Node.js 原生 `fetch()` 发请求,而 Node.js 的 fetch **不走系统代理**(不读取 `HTTP_PROXY`/`HTTPS_PROXY` 环境变量)。如果你的网络环境需要代理才能访问 x.com,bird 就连不上。
-
-**解决方案(按推荐顺序):**
-
-### 方案 1:使用透明代理 / TUN 模式(推荐)
-
-让代理工具接管所有网络流量,这样 bird 的 fetch 也会走代理:
-
-- **Clash Verge / Clash for Windows:** 开启 TUN 模式或系统代理
-- **Proxifier(Windows):** 添加规则让 Node.js 进程走代理
-- **macOS:** 在 Surge/ClashX Pro 中开启增强模式
-
-### 方案 2:验证 Cookie 有效性
-
-确认 Cookie 没过期:
-
-1. 在浏览器里正常登录 x.com
-2. 用 [Cookie-Editor](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cookie-editor/hlkenndednhfkekhgcdicdfddnkalmdm) 重新导出 Header String
-3. 重新配置:`agent-reach configure twitter-cookies "新的Cookie"`
-
-### 方案 3:不用 bird,用 Exa 搜索替代
-
-bird 不可用时,可以直接用 Exa 搜索 Twitter 内容:
-
-```bash
-mcporter call 'exa.web_search_exa(query: "site:x.com query", numResults: 10)'
-```
-
-### 方案 4:配置 Node.js 全局代理(高级)
-
-安装 `global-agent` 让 Node.js 的 fetch 走代理:
-
-```bash
-npm install -g global-agent
-```
-
-然后在运行 bird 前设置环境变量:
-
-```bash
-# Linux / macOS
-export GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7890
-export NODE_OPTIONS="--require global-agent/bootstrap"
-bird search "test"
-
-# Windows (PowerShell)
-$env:GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTP_PROXY = "http://127.0.0.1:7890"
-$env:NODE_OPTIONS = "--require global-agent/bootstrap"
-bird search "test"
-```
-
-> ⚠️ 注意:这个方案需要每次运行 bird 前都设置环境变量,不太方便。推荐用方案 1。

-## Boss直聘: "访问行为异常"
-
-**症状:** mcp-bosszp 登录成功,但 API 请求返回"您的访问行为异常"
-
-**原因:** Boss直聘的反爬机制会检测请求指纹(不只是 IP),Python requests 库的特征与真实浏览器不同。
+**原因:** xreach CLI 使用 Node.js 的 `undici` 库发请求。如果你的网络环境需要代理才能访问 x.com,需要明确传入代理参数。
**解决方案:**
-- **本地电脑:** 正常使用,一般不会被拦
-- **服务器:** 使用 Jina Reader 读取职位页面 + Exa 搜索职位信息作为替代
+
+### 方案 1:使用 --proxy 参数
+
+```bash
+xreach search "test" --auth-token "$AUTH_TOKEN" --ct0 "$CT0" --proxy "http://user:pass@host:port"
+```
+
+### 方案 2:使用全局代理工具
+
+让代理工具接管所有网络流量,这样 xreach 的请求也会走代理:
+
+```bash
+# macOS — ClashX / Surge 开启"增强模式"
+# Linux — proxychains 或 tun2socks
+proxychains xreach search "test" -n 1
+```
+
+### 方案 3:不用 xreach,用 Exa 搜索替代
+
+xreach 不可用时,可以直接用 Exa 搜索 Twitter 内容:
+
+```bash
+mcporter call 'exa.web_search_exa(query: "site:x.com 搜索词", numResults: 5)'
+```
+
+### 方案 4:设置 HTTP_PROXY 环境变量
+
+```bash
+export HTTP_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:7890"
+export HTTPS_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:7890"
+
+xreach search "test"
+```
+
+> ⚠️ 注意:Node.js 原生 fetch 不一定读取这些环境变量,推荐用方案 1 的 --proxy 参数。
