# Agent Reach — Usage Guide
Upstream tools for 13+ platforms. Call them directly.
Run `agent-reach doctor` to check which channels are available.
## ⚠️ Workspace Rules
**Never create files in the agent workspace.** Use `/tmp/` for temporary output and `~/.agent-reach/` for persistent data.
## Web — Any URL
```bash
curl -s "https://r.jina.ai/URL"
```
## Web Search (Exa)
```bash
mcporter call 'exa.web_search_exa(query: "query", numResults: 5)'
mcporter call 'exa.get_code_context_exa(query: "code question", tokensNum: 3000)'
```
## Twitter/X (xreach)
```bash
xreach search "query" -n 10 --json # search
xreach tweet URL_OR_ID --json # read tweet (supports /status/ and /article/ URLs)
xreach tweets @username -n 20 --json # user timeline
xreach thread URL_OR_ID --json # full thread
```
## YouTube (yt-dlp)
```bash
yt-dlp --dump-json "URL" # video metadata
yt-dlp --write-sub --write-auto-sub --sub-lang "zh-Hans,zh,en" --skip-download -o "/tmp/%(id)s" "URL"
# download subtitles, then read the .vtt file
yt-dlp --dump-json "ytsearch5:query" # search
```
## Bilibili (yt-dlp)
```bash
yt-dlp --dump-json "https://www.bilibili.com/video/BVxxx"
yt-dlp --write-sub --write-auto-sub --sub-lang "zh-Hans,zh,en" --convert-subs vtt --skip-download -o "/tmp/%(id)s" "URL"
```
> Server IPs may get 412. Use `--cookies-from-browser chrome` or configure proxy.
## Reddit
```bash
curl -s "https://www.reddit.com/r/SUBREDDIT/hot.json?limit=10" -H "User-Agent: agent-reach/1.0"
curl -s "https://www.reddit.com/search.json?q=QUERY&limit=10" -H "User-Agent: agent-reach/1.0"
```
> Server IPs may get 403. Search via Exa instead, or configure proxy.
## GitHub (gh CLI)
```bash
gh search repos "query" --sort stars --limit 10
gh repo view owner/repo
gh search code "query" --language python
gh issue list -R owner/repo --state open
gh issue view 123 -R owner/repo
```
## 小红书 / XiaoHongShu (mcporter)
```bash
mcporter call 'xiaohongshu.search_feeds(keyword: "query")'
mcporter call 'xiaohongshu.get_feed_detail(feed_id: "xxx", xsec_token: "yyy")'
mcporter call 'xiaohongshu.get_feed_detail(feed_id: "xxx", xsec_token: "yyy", load_all_comments: true)'
mcporter call 'xiaohongshu.publish_content(title: "标题", content: "正文", images: ["/path/img.jpg"], tags: ["tag"])'
```

mcporter call 'douyin.parse_douyin_video_info(share_link: "https://v.douyin.com/xxx/")'
mcporter call 'douyin.get_douyin_download_link(share_link: "https://v.douyin.com/xxx/")'
```
> No login needed.
## 微信公众号 / WeChat Articles
**Search** (miku_ai):
```python
python3 -c "
import asyncio
from miku_ai import get_wexin_article
async def s():
for a in await get_wexin_article('query', 5):
print(f'{a[\"title\"]} | {a[\"url\"]}')
asyncio.run(s())
"
```
**Read** (Camoufox — bypasses WeChat anti-bot):
```bash
cd ~/.agent-reach/tools/wechat-article-for-ai && python3 main.py "https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/ARTICLE_ID"
```
> WeChat articles cannot be read with Jina Reader or curl. Must use Camoufox.
## LinkedIn (mcporter)
```bash
mcporter call 'linkedin.get_person_profile(linkedin_url: "https://linkedin.com/in/username")'
mcporter call 'linkedin.search_people(keyword: "AI engineer", limit: 10)'
```
Fallback: `curl -s "https://r.jina.ai/https://linkedin.com/in/username"`
## RSS (feedparser)
## RSS
```python
python3 -c "
import feedparser
for e in feedparser.parse('FEED_URL').entries[:5]:
print(f'{e.title} — {e.link}')
"
```
## Troubleshooting
- **Channel not working?** Run `agent-reach doctor` — shows status and fix instructions.
- **Twitter fetch failed?** Ensure `undici` is installed: `npm install -g undici`. Configure proxy: `agent-reach configure proxy URL`.
