Overview

Agent Reach is an open-source Agent Skill and installer that gives AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, Windsurf, etc.) seamless access to the internet. It automatically installs and configures lightweight, no-API-key scrapers and search tools for major platforms.

Instead of paying for expensive official APIs with strict rate limits, Agent Reach provides a unified CLI (agent-reach) that lets agents read posts, search content, fetch videos, and more — all in one standardized interface.

It also includes MCP server wrappers for deeper integration with the Model Context Protocol ecosystem.
