👁️ Agent Eyes

Give your AI Agent eyes to see the entire internet.

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.

Not a framework. Not a library. Just glue — beautifully simple glue that gives your Agent superpowers.

---

Install (One Line)

Copy 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

Your Agent reads the guide, installs everything, and configures itself. You just watch.

Or install manually:

pip install git+https://github.com/Panniantong/agent-eyes.git
agent-eyes doctor    # See what's available
agent-eyes setup     # Unlock more (optional)

Read any URL (works immediately, no config needed)

agent-eyes read "https://github.com/openai/gpt-4" agent-eyes read "https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1xx411c7mD"

Search GitHub (works immediately, no config needed)

agent-eyes search-github "LLM framework"

Unlock search (one free API key)

agent-eyes setup agent-eyes search "AI agent infrastructure 2025" agent-eyes search-reddit "best self-hosted LLM" --sub LocalLLaMA agent-eyes search-twitter "OpenClaw agent"

2. MCP Server (for Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)

pip install agent-eyes[mcp]

3. Python Library

import asyncio

eyes = AgentEyes()

# Read
result = asyncio.run(eyes.read("https://github.com/openai/gpt-4"))
print(result["title"])
print(result["content"])

# Search
results = asyncio.run(eyes.search("AI agent framework"))
for r in results:
    print(f"{r['title']} — {r['url']}")

# Search Reddit
results = asyncio.run(eyes.search_reddit("best LLM", subreddit="LocalLLaMA"))

# Health check
print(eyes.doctor_report())

Configuration

Interactive Setup

agent-eyes setup

Walks you through configuring each platform step by step. Only asks for what you want to set up.

Agent-Readable Guides

Each platform has a detailed setup guide in agent_eyes/guides/. These are designed for AI Agents to read and follow — the Agent handles the technical steps, and only asks the user for things that require human action (logging in, copying API keys, buying proxies).

Guide	What It Configures
setup-exa.md	Exa search API key (free)
setup-reddit.md	Reddit ISP proxy
setup-twitter.md	Twitter birdx cookies
setup-xiaohongshu.md	XiaoHongShu login
setup-wechat.md	WeChat Playwright
setup-groq.md	Groq Whisper API key (free)

Manual Config

Config file: ~/.agent-eyes/config.yaml

exa_api_key: "exa-..."
github_token: "ghp_..."
reddit_proxy: "http://user:pass@ip:port"
groq_api_key: "gsk_..."

Environment variables also work (uppercase): EXA_API_KEY, GITHUB_TOKEN, etc.

Architecture

Agent Eyes is pure glue. Every channel is a thin wrapper (~50 lines) around an external tool. Swap any backend by changing one file.
