Install Agent Reach via pip (pip install agent-reach), then run agent-reach doctor to verify your setup. For Twitter and Reddit access, log in once via browser cookies. Connect it as a tool to your agent framework (Claude Code, Cursor, LangChain, etc.) and your agent can immediately query live content from Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, and GitHub.
