Agent Reach setup guide, in English
Install and set up Agent Reach, whose installer and health check default to Chinese.
The short version
It is a router, not a scraper. Every channel is somebody else's tool: YouTube is yt-dlp, web reading is Jina Reader, GitHub is the `gh` CLI, RSS is feedparser, Twitter is twitter-cli. Agent Reach picks the best one per platform, installs it, health-checks it, and swaps the backend when one breaks. That is the actual value, because keeping those backends alive is the annoying part.
Everything is free. Their README is explicit: all tools open source, all APIs free. The only thing that can cost money is a \$1/month server proxy, and a local machine does not need one.
