# Agent Reach

> Agent Reach installs and health-checks a set of existing tools so an AI agent can read the web: Jina Reader for web pages, Exa (via MCP) for search, plus readers for YouTube, RSS, GitHub, X, Reddit, Bilibili, Xiaohongshu and others; some need a login cookie. It does not scrape or crawl itself; it relies on those free third-party services. Needs Python 3.10+ and an agent that runs shell commands. Main README is Chinese, with an English version. MIT licence. A free tool; it does not replace a paid product we list.

## What it replaces
Nothing people pay for: a free tool, listed because people search for it.
