👁️ 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"

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).

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 |

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.
