For AI Agents

Goal

Install Agent Reach and make sure all channels are working. Your user expects you to have full internet access capabilities when this is done — reading tweets, searching Reddit, watching YouTube, browsing GitHub, and more.

Step 1: Install

pip install https://github.com/Panniantong/agent-reach/archive/main.zip
agent-reach install --env=auto

This auto-installs system dependencies (gh CLI, Node.js, mcporter, bird), configures Exa search, detects environment, and tests all channels.

Read the output carefully, then run:

agent-reach doctor

Step 2: Fix what's broken

agent-reach doctor shows you which channels are active and which aren't.

Your goal is to get as many channels to ✅ as possible. If something failed during install or shows as ❌/⚠️ in doctor, fix it yourself. You're a capable AI Agent — diagnose the problem, try alternative approaches, and iterate until it works.

Only ask the user when you genuinely need their input (see below).

Step 3: Configure things that need user input

Some channels need credentials only the user can provide. Based on the doctor output, ask for what's missing:

Twitter search & posting (server users):

"To unlock Twitter search, I need your Twitter cookies. Install the Cookie-Editor Chrome extension, go to x.com/twitter.com, click the extension → Export → Header String, and paste it to me." Extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cookie-editor/hlkenndednhfkekhgcdicdfddnkalmdm

agent-reach configure twitter-cookies "PASTED_STRING"

Reddit & Bilibili full access (server users):

"Reddit and Bilibili block server IPs. To unlock full access, I need a residential proxy. You can get one at https://webshare.io ($1/month). Send me the proxy address."

agent-reach configure proxy http://user:pass@ip:port

XiaoHongShu / 小红书 (需要 Docker):

"小红书需要一个 MCP 服务。需要你的机器上有 Docker。安装好 Docker 后我来搞定剩下的。"

docker run -d --name xiaohongshu-mcp -p 18060:18060 xpzouying/xiaohongshu-mcp
mcporter config add xiaohongshu http://localhost:18060/mcp

如果在服务器上，建议加代理避免 IP 风控： docker run -d --name xiaohongshu-mcp -p 18060:18060 -e XHS_PROXY=http://user:pass@ip:port xpzouying/xiaohongshu-mcp

首次使用需要扫码登录，打开 http://localhost:18060 操作。

Step 4: Final check

Run agent-reach doctor one final time and report the results to your user.

Step 5: Set up daily monitoring (OpenClaw only)

If you are running inside OpenClaw, ask your user:

"Agent Reach 安装好了。要不要我设一个每天自动检查的任务？它会帮你盯着这些渠道是否正常、有没有新版本。有问题才会通知你，没问题不打扰。"

If the user agrees, create a cron job (daily, sessionTarget: "isolated", delivery: "announce") with this task:

运行 agent-reach watch 命令。
如果输出包含"全部正常"，不需要通知用户，静默结束。
如果输出包含问题（❌ ⚠️）或新版本（🆕），把完整报告发给用户，并建议修复方案。
如果有新版本可用，问用户是否要升级（升级命令：pip install --upgrade https://github.com/Panniantong/agent-reach/archive/main.zip）。

If the user wants a different agent to handle it, let them choose.
