Agent-Reach gives AI agents free eyes across the internet
Open-source CLI lets agents read & search Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, GitHub and 11 more platforms — zero API fees, all local.
Agent-Reach is a Python scaffolding tool that installs open-source scrapers so your AI agent can natively browse the internet — no paid APIs, no developer accounts required.
Under the hood it bundles bird CLI for Twitter/X (cookie auth), yt-dlp for YouTube and Bilibili, Jina Reader for article summarization, and Exa for semantic web search. Credentials stay local at ~/.agent-reach/config.yaml; the whole codebase is MIT-licensed and fully auditable.
Works out of the box with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Codex — one pip install and your agent gains eyes across 15+ platforms. The only optional cost: ~$1/month for a residential proxy if you're hitting Reddit from a server.
Why it matters: agent web access has been gated behind expensive, rate-limited APIs — Agent-Reach makes it a commodity tool anyone can self-host.
