Agent Reach lets Claude Code read the whole internet for free

Agent Reach is an open-source repo made by Panniantong. It has over 98,000 stars on GitHub and an MIT license. It gives an AI agent like Claude Code a way to read and search Twitter/X, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, GitHub and plain web pages. The README says all the tools are open source and all the APIs are free.

What Agent Reach does for you: it picks the best way to reach each website, installs it, and checks that it still works. If a way stops working, the maintainers switch to a backup route, so you don't have to fix anything.

How to install Agent Reach: copy the repo URL below, paste it into Claude Code, and say: install this.

Set up LinkedIn so Claude Code can read profiles, companies and jobs

YouTube, web pages and GitHub work right after install. LinkedIn needs one more step. Tell Claude Code to set it up, and Agent Reach unlocks full profiles, company pages and job search through your own login.

Best practices for Agent Reach:

  • Connect a spare account for LinkedIn and X, never your main one. Cookie logins can get an account banned.
  • Run agent-reach doctor after you install. It shows which platforms work, which backup route each one is using, and how to fix anything broken.
  • Only set up the platforms you need. The README says every unlock step is optional.
  • Keep it updated with the update sentence from the README so the backup routes stay current.

Prompts to try with Agent Reach:

Common questions

  • Is Agent Reach really free?

    Yes. The README says all the tools are open source and all the APIs are free. The only possible cost is a proxy at about one dollar a month, and that's only for restricted networks. A normal home computer doesn't need one.

  • Does Agent Reach work with Claude Code?

    Yes. Claude Code is one of the agents the README names. You paste the one install sentence into Claude Code and it sets everything up in a few minutes.

  • Is it safe to log in to LinkedIn or X with Agent Reach?

    The README says your cookies stay on your computer and are never uploaded, and the code is open source so you can read it. Cookie logins can still get an account banned, so connect a spare account, not your main one.

  • What happens when LinkedIn or another site blocks Agent Reach?

    Every platform has a main route and backup routes. When one stops working, the maintainers switch to the next one, and agent-reach doctor tells you which route is active.
