feat: add Agent-readable install guide (one URL to rule them all)
Users just paste one line to their AI Agent: 'Install Agent Eyes: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Panniantong/agent-eyes/main/docs/install.md' The Agent reads the guide, installs, configures, and reports back. Inspired by oh-my-opencode's installation flow. Also updated README: new tagline, architecture diagram reflects pure-glue design, updated credits.

**Give your AI Agent eyes to see the entire internet.**
|
||||
|
||||
Agent Eyes is infrastructure for the Agent world — install once, and your AI Agent can search and read content across 10+ platforms. Zero to minimal configuration.
|
||||
Agent Eyes is an open-source Agent capability aggregator. It combines the best free tools into one install, so any AI Agent can search and read the entire internet.
|
||||
|
||||
> *Built on top of [x-reader](https://github.com/runesleo/x-reader) by [@runes_leo](https://x.com/runes_leo) — thank you for the amazing open-source work. 🙏*
|
||||
> Not a framework. Not a library. Just glue — beautifully simple glue that gives your Agent superpowers.

## Why Agent Eyes?
|
||||
## Install (One Line)
|
||||
|
||||
AI Agents are powerful, but blind. They can't browse Reddit, search Twitter, or read WeChat articles. Agent Eyes fixes that.
|
||||
**Copy this to your AI Agent** (Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, ChatGPT, etc.):
|
||||
|
||||
- **One install, 10+ platforms** — web pages, GitHub, Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, Bilibili, WeChat, XiaoHongShu, RSS, Telegram
|
||||
- **Search + Read** — not just URL extraction, but actual search capability (find, then read)
|
||||
- **Agent-native design** — CLI, MCP Server, Python API — works with any AI Agent platform
|
||||
- **Mostly free** — 99% of features cost nothing. One free API key unlocks full search.
|
||||
```
|
||||
Install and configure Agent Eyes by following the instructions here:
|
||||
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Panniantong/agent-eyes/main/docs/install.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
Your Agent reads the guide, installs everything, and configures itself. You just watch.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
**Or install manually:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install
|
||||
pip install git+https://github.com/Panniantong/agent-eyes.git
|
||||
|
||||
# Check what's available
|
||||
agent-eyes doctor
|
||||
agent-eyes doctor # See what's available
|
||||
agent-eyes setup # Unlock more (optional)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# Read any URL (works immediately, no config needed)
|

|||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
Agent Eyes is **not** a fork of x-reader. It's a layer built on top of it.
|
||||
Agent Eyes is pure glue. Every channel is a thin wrapper (~50 lines) around an external tool. **Swap any backend by changing one file.**

# Agent Eyes — Installation Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## For Humans
|
||||
|
||||
Copy and paste this to your AI Agent (Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, ChatGPT, etc.):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Install and configure Agent Eyes by following the instructions here:
|
||||
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Panniantong/agent-eyes/main/docs/install.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That's it. Your Agent will handle the rest.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## For AI Agents
|
||||
|
||||
Welcome! You're about to give your user's Agent (that's you!) eyes to see the entire internet.
|
||||
Agent Eyes lets you search and read content across 10+ platforms with one install.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Install Agent Eyes
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install git+https://github.com/Panniantong/agent-eyes.git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If `pip` fails, try:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip3 install git+https://github.com/Panniantong/agent-eyes.git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If permission error, try:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install --user git+https://github.com/Panniantong/agent-eyes.git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Verify Installation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
agent-eyes version
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected output: `Agent Eyes v1.0.0` (or higher)
|
||||
|
||||
If this works, run a health check:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
agent-eyes doctor
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This shows which platforms are already available (many work with zero configuration).
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Test Zero-Config Features
|
||||
|
||||
These work immediately without any setup:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Read a web page
|
||||
agent-eyes read "https://example.com"
|
||||
|
||||
# Read a GitHub repo
|
||||
agent-eyes read "https://github.com/Panniantong/agent-eyes"
|
||||
|
||||
# Search GitHub
|
||||
agent-eyes search-github "AI agent framework" -n 3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Tell the user: "✅ Agent Eyes installed! I can now read web pages, GitHub, YouTube, Bilibili, RSS, and tweets. Want me to unlock search too? (free, takes 30 seconds)"
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Unlock Search (Optional, Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
Ask the user:
|
||||
|
||||
> "I can unlock full web search, Reddit search, and Twitter search with one free API key. Want to set it up? It takes 30 seconds."
|
||||
|
||||
If the user says yes:
|
||||
|
||||
> "Please go to https://exa.ai, sign up (free), and copy your API key. Then send it to me."
|
||||
|
||||
When the user provides the key:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Write the key to config
|
||||
python3 -c "
|
||||
from agent_eyes.config import Config
|
||||
c = Config()
|
||||
c.set('exa_api_key', 'THE_KEY_USER_PROVIDED')
|
||||
print('✅ Exa API key saved!')
|
||||
"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Test it:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
agent-eyes search "AI agent infrastructure" -n 3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Tell the user: "✅ Search unlocked! I can now search the entire web, Reddit, and Twitter for you."
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5: Optional — Advanced Channels
|
||||
|
||||
Only offer these if the user asks or if relevant to their needs.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Twitter Advanced (search timelines, read threads)
|
||||
|
||||
Check if birdx is available:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
which birdx && echo "already installed" || pip install birdx
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If birdx is installed, it works automatically. If the user wants to configure cookie auth for deeper access, read the guide:
|
||||
`agent_eyes/guides/setup-twitter.md`
|
||||
|
||||
#### Reddit Full Reader (read complete posts + comments)
|
||||
|
||||
Reddit blocks many server IPs. Full reading requires a proxy.
|
||||
Read the guide: `agent_eyes/guides/setup-reddit.md`
|
||||
|
||||
Without a proxy, you can still SEARCH Reddit content via Exa (Step 4).
|
||||
|
||||
#### WeChat / XiaoHongShu (Chinese platforms)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install agent-eyes[browser]
|
||||
playwright install chromium
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For XiaoHongShu, the user needs to log in once. Read: `agent_eyes/guides/setup-xiaohongshu.md`
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 6: Final Health Check
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
agent-eyes doctor
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Report the results to the user in a friendly way. Example:
|
||||
|
||||
> "Here's what I can do now:
|
||||
> ✅ Read: Web, GitHub, YouTube, Bilibili, RSS, Tweets
|
||||
> ✅ Search: Web, GitHub, Reddit, Twitter
|
||||
> ⬜ Not configured: Reddit full reader, WeChat, XiaoHongShu
|
||||
>
|
||||
> I'm ready to help! Ask me to search or read anything."
|
||||
|
||||
### Using Agent Eyes
|
||||
|
||||
After installation, you can use these commands anytime:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Read any URL
|
||||
agent-eyes read "<url>"
|
||||
|
||||
# Search the web
|
||||
agent-eyes search "<query>"
|
||||
|
||||
# Search specific platforms
|
||||
agent-eyes search-github "<query>"
|
||||
agent-eyes search-reddit "<query>" --sub "<subreddit>"
|
||||
agent-eyes search-twitter "<query>"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check status
|
||||
agent-eyes doctor
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or use the Python API:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from agent_eyes import AgentEyes
|
||||
import asyncio
|
||||
|
||||
eyes = AgentEyes()
|
||||
result = asyncio.run(eyes.read("https://any-url.com"))
|
||||
results = asyncio.run(eyes.search("any query"))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### MCP Server (for Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
If your platform supports MCP:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install agent-eyes[mcp]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Add to MCP config:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"mcpServers": {
|
||||
"agent-eyes": {
|
||||
"command": "python3",
|
||||
"args": ["-m", "agent_eyes.integrations.mcp_server"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
| Problem | Solution |
|
||||
|---------|----------|
|
||||
| `pip: command not found` | Try `pip3` instead |
|
||||
| `Permission denied` | Add `--user` flag or use `sudo` |
|
||||
| `agent-eyes: command not found` | Run `python3 -m agent_eyes.cli doctor` instead |
|
||||
| Search returns "Exa API key not configured" | Run Step 4 above |
|
||||
| Reddit returns 403 | Need proxy (see `guides/setup-reddit.md`) |
