What is Agent Search?

Agent Search gives your AI agent the ability to search and read content from 10+ platforms — Twitter/X, Reddit, YouTube, GitHub, Bilibili, LinkedIn, web pages, and more — with a single install command.

The problem it solves:

Pain Point	Reality
Twitter/X API	Paid, $215/mo for moderate use
Reddit	Server IPs get 403'd
YouTube transcripts	No official API
GitHub search	Auth required, rate limited
Web scraping	Returns raw HTML, not readable content

Agent Search handles all of this transparently. Your agent calls a function, gets back clean readable text.

Quick Start

Paste this into your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Assistants, etc.):

Automatically pulls Twitter cookies from Chrome. Also works with Firefox, Edge, Brave.

Option 2 — Manual via Cookie-Editor:

1. Log into x.com in Chrome
2. Install the Cookie-Editor extension
3. Click the extension → Export → Header String
4. Run:

agent-search configure twitter-cookies "PASTE_COOKIE_STRING_HERE"

Once configured:

twitter search "AI agents 2026" -n 10
twitter read https://x.com/username/status/123456789

Setting Up LinkedIn
