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

登录方式：

• 本地电脑（有浏览器）： 打开 http://localhost:18060 扫码登录即可。
• 服务器（无 UI 界面）： 服务器上通常没有浏览器，无法直接扫码。最方便的方式是在自己的电脑上用浏览器登录小红书，然后用 Cookie-Editor 插件导出 Cookie（Header String 格式），发给 Agent 即可完成配置。详见 Cookie 导出指南。

Instagram (需要 instaloader):

"Instagram 需要 instaloader。我来帮你安装。"

pip install instaloader

登录后可访问更多内容（私密帖子等）：instaloader --login YOUR_USERNAME 服务器用户同样可以在本地电脑登录后，导出 Cookie 发给 Agent。

LinkedIn (可选 — linkedin-scraper-mcp):

"LinkedIn 基本内容可通过 Jina Reader 读取。完整功能（Profile 详情、职位搜索）需要 linkedin-scraper-mcp。"

pip install linkedin-scraper-mcp
uvx linkedin-scraper-mcp --login       # 首次需在有浏览器的机器上登录
uvx linkedin-scraper-mcp --transport streamable-http --port 8001  # 启动 MCP 服务
mcporter config add linkedin http://localhost:8001/mcp

详见 https://github.com/stickerdaniel/linkedin-mcp-server

Boss直聘 (可选 — mcp-bosszp):

"Boss直聘职位页面可直接读取。完整搜索和打招呼功能需要 mcp-bosszp。"

git clone https://github.com/mucsbr/mcp-bosszp.git && cd mcp-bosszp
pip install -r requirements.txt && playwright install chromium
python boss_zhipin_fastmcp_v2.py        # 启动 MCP 服务
mcporter config add bosszhipin http://localhost:8000/mcp

或用 Docker：docker-compose up -d 详见 https://github.com/mucsbr/mcp-bosszp

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.
