Agent-Reach/docs/README_en.md
Panniantong e96ebdec88 docs: Chinese README as default, English in docs/
Chinese README polished 3 rounds:
- Round 1: direct translation
- Round 2: too dry, too many tables, too technical
- Round 3: conversational tone, scenario-driven, collapsible details

Key improvements:
- Opens with WHY not WHAT ('你的Agent很聪明,但是看不见')
- Install section explains WHERE to paste for newbies
- Features shown as bullet list not tables (better visual scan)
- Architecture hidden in collapsible section (most users don't care)
- 'Why Agent Eyes' section explains positioning clearly
- English version at docs/README_en.md

# 👁️ Agent Eyes
**Give your AI Agent eyes to see the entire internet.**
Your AI Agent is smart but blind. It can't browse Reddit, search Twitter, or read Bilibili videos. Agent Eyes fixes this — once installed, your Agent can search and read content across 10+ platforms.
> Install once. Superpowers unlocked. Most features work with zero config, zero cost.

## Get Started in 30 Seconds
Copy this to your AI Agent (Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, etc.):
```
Install Agent Eyes: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Panniantong/agent-eyes/main/docs/install.md
```
Your Agent handles everything. You answer 1-2 questions at most.
<details>
<summary>Manual install</summary>
```bash
pip install https://github.com/Panniantong/agent-eyes/archive/main.zip
agent-eyes install --env=auto
agent-eyes doctor
```
</details>

## Works Out of the Box
No configuration needed:
- 🌐 **Web pages** — read any URL
- 📦 **GitHub** — repos, issues, PRs, code search
- 📺 **YouTube** — video transcripts
- 📺 **Bilibili** — video info + subtitles
- 📡 **RSS** — any feed
- 🐦 **Twitter** — read individual tweets
```bash
agent-eyes read "https://github.com/openai/gpt-4"
agent-eyes search-github "LLM framework"
```
---
## One Key Unlocks Search
Sign up at [Exa](https://exa.ai) (free, 1000 searches/month). One key unlocks **web + Reddit + Twitter search**:
```bash
agent-eyes configure exa-key YOUR_KEY
agent-eyes search "best open source LLM 2025"
agent-eyes search-reddit "self-hosted LLM" --sub LocalLLaMA
agent-eyes search-twitter "AI agent"
```
---
## Unlock More
### 🍪 Cookie-based (free, 2 minutes)
```bash
# Local: auto-import all cookies
agent-eyes configure --from-browser chrome
# Server: use Cookie-Editor extension, export Header String
agent-eyes configure twitter-cookies "cookie_string"
agent-eyes configure xhs-cookie "cookie_string"
```
Unlocks: Twitter deep search, XiaoHongShu notes
### 🌐 Proxy ($1/month, servers only)
Reddit and Bilibili block server IPs. Local computers are fine.
```bash
agent-eyes configure proxy http://user:pass@ip:port
```
Recommend [Webshare](https://webshare.io). One proxy covers both Reddit and Bilibili.

## Three Ways to Use
**CLI** · **Python API** · **MCP Server**
```bash
agent-eyes read "URL"
agent-eyes search "query"
agent-eyes doctor
```
```python
from agent_eyes import AgentEyes
eyes = AgentEyes()
result = asyncio.run(eyes.read("https://example.com"))
```
```json
{"mcpServers": {"agent-eyes": {"command": "python", "args": ["-m", "agent_eyes.integrations.mcp_server"]}}}
```

## Why Agent Eyes?
Not a framework. Not an SDK. Just glue — beautifully simple glue.
- Aggregates the best free tools: Jina Reader, birdx, yt-dlp, Exa, feedparser
- Each channel is ~50 lines. Swap any backend by editing one file.
- CLI, MCP Server, Python API
- 99% free. The remaining 1% costs $1/month.
