If you use Claude Code, Cursor, or a similar agent for server work, you have probably asked it to “check if anyone on Reddit hit this error” or “summarize this YouTube walkthrough” and watched it come back empty-handed.

Reddit blocks anonymous requests from most server IP addresses, YouTube pages don’t include the transcript in plain HTML, and the official X (Twitter) API is paid, so the agent ends up guessing or asking you to paste the content yourself.

Agent-Reach is an MIT-licensed open-source project that fixes this by installing and health-checking a set of free command-line tools your agent can call directly.
