HuiMei 慧媒 — Chinese Social Media Automation CLI & MCP Server

PyPI version Python License: MIT

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.

Quick Start

# Log in to your account
huimei login

# List supported platforms
huimei platforms

# List linked social media accounts
huimei account list

# Actively refresh account status and related work data
huimei account check --account <id> --wait --json

# Synchronize, list and inspect work statistics
huimei works sync --platform zhihu --wait --json
huimei works list --json
huimei works detail <work-id> --json

# Publish using the stable account ID (recommended)
huimei publish -p zhihu --account-id <id> -v ./video.mp4 -t "Title" --json

# Check CLI and connection status
huimei status

# View or update the global publish mode saved on the server
huimei mode
huimei mode auto

# 客户端发布固定使用 headless;账号登录仍会打开有头浏览器
huimei browser show
huimei browser set --chrome-path "/path/to/chrome" --window-size 1440x900

# Machine-readable capabilities and asynchronous task status for AI Agents
huimei agent-context
huimei task-status <task-id> --json

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.
