How to Set Up and Use Agent Reach
Agent Reach is an MCP-compatible capability layer that gives AI agents unified access to the entire internet — covering Twitter/X, Reddit, YouTube, GitHub, Bilibili, XiaoHongShu, web search, RSS feeds, and more through a single installation. Rather than wrapping individual APIs, it automatically selects the most reliable backend for each platform, performs health checks, and handles fallback routing so your agent always has a working connection. It requires no API fees for most platforms and works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any agent that can execute shell commands. Developers use it when they want their AI agents to research, monitor, or collect data from social media and the web without managing brittle per-platform integrations.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10 or higher installed
- pip or pipx available for installation
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf
- Optional: a free Exa API key for semantic web search
- Optional: browser cookies for Twitter/X or XiaoHongShu authenticated access
Install Agent Reach
Install the package directly from GitHub using pip. This pulls the latest version and installs all platform-specific dependencies.
pip install https://github.com/Panniantong/agent-reach/archive/main.zipRun the guided setup
Run the install command to auto-detect your environment and configure all available platform backends. Agent Reach will select the most stable backend for each platform and write the necessary config.
agent-reach install --env=autoVerify installation health
Run the built-in diagnostics tool to confirm which platforms are active, which backends are selected, and whether any configuration issues exist.
agent-reach doctorAdd to your MCP client configuration
Register Agent Reach as an MCP server in your client's configuration file (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop). The server runs as a local process.
{
"mcpServers": {
"agent-reach": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["agent-reach"]
}
}
}Configure optional API keys
For semantic web search via Exa (free tier available), set the Exa API key in your environment. For Twitter/X or XiaoHongShu, follow the platform-specific cookie setup documented at the repository.

Re-run 'agent-reach install --env=auto' to refresh backend selection. If the platform requires cookies (Twitter, XiaoHongShu), follow the cookie setup guide in the repository's docs folder.
Proxy or network errors when accessing certain platforms
Set HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables before running Agent Reach. The tool auto-exports these when a proxy is configured via 'agent-reach install'.
