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.

|
|
|
|
## 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`) |
