Overview

x-reader is an Agent Skill, CLI and MCP server that reads content from a URL for an AI agent and reports what was actually retrieved. It covers X/Twitter, articles, video, podcasts, WeChat, Xiaohongshu, Telegram, RSS and the open web. Its rule is that a search snippet, tweet caption or video description is not the source itself, so it says so when a needed layer was not fetched.

Key features

  • Reads X/Twitter, articles, video, podcasts and RSS
  • Also covers WeChat, Xiaohongshu and Telegram
  • Reports PASS, PARTIAL, FAIL or UNKNOWN for each read
  • Installs as an Agent Skill with npx
  • Works as a CLI and an MCP server

Best for

Agent users who want proof of what the agent read from a link rather than a summary of a snippet. Media that matters must actually be retrieved for a PASS.
