HuiMei 慧媒 — Chinese Social Media Automation CLI & MCP Server
HuiMei provides a CLI and MCP interface for publishing to supported Chinese social-media platforms through cloud or local browser execution.
Why HuiMei?
- 🌏 Multi-platform workflow — One command surface for the platforms and content types reported by
huimei platforms. - 🔀 CLI + MCP dual interface — Humans use the terminal (
huimei publish), AI agents use the MCP protocol. Same engine, two entry points. - 🔒 Cloud, local, and auto execution — Local mode drives the user's Chrome through a managed Runtime Host; cloud mode runs the same signed automation bundle on the service environment.
- 🔑 Protected credentials and runtime code — Sensitive payloads use HTTPS/WSS plus application-layer encryption. Local tasks receive short-lived, device-bound encrypted credential envelopes, and automation code is delivered as a signed encrypted Runtime Bundle.
- 🛡️ Upload-safe preflight — CLI and MCP require a target-bound server Runtime/Catalog preflight before uploading media or creating a publish task.

MCP Server Integration
MCP (Model Context Protocol) allows AI agents to call external tools as if they were native functions. HuiMei ships a built-in MCP server so agents like Claude, Hermes, and GPT can manage your social media directly.
Claude Code / Claude Desktop
Add to your MCP config (~/.claude/claude_code_config.json or Claude Desktop settings):
{
"mcpServers": {
"huimei": {
"command": "huimei-mcp-server",
"args": []
}
}
}
Hermes Agent
Add to your Hermes config:
mcp_servers:
huimei:
command: huimei-mcp-server

Architecture
CLI / MCP / Web
│ HTTPS + WSS
▼
Huimei Platform ── task, account, device and status coordination
│
├── cloud ──▶ Runtime Host ──▶ managed Python + encrypted Runtime Bundle
│
└── local ──▶ Local Worker ──▶ managed Python + encrypted Runtime Bundle ──▶ Chrome
The CLI contains the stable command, transport, Worker, and Runtime Host layers. Platform automation code and its dependency descriptor are versioned independently, so script updates do not normally require a CLI upgrade. Publishing is asynchronous; task creation is not treated as final platform success.
Use Cases
📹 Content Creators — Write once, publish everywhere. Record a video, add your caption, and distribute to all 11 platforms with a single command.
🤖 AI Agents — Let Claude or GPT manage your social media via MCP. Your agent can check account status, schedule posts, and publish content autonomously.
📊 Marketing Teams — Automate matrix account publishing across dozens of accounts and platforms. Integrate into your existing CI/CD or content pipeline.
