The previously scattered docs (`mcp-channel-research.md` / `mcp-test-plan.md` / `mcp-test-results.md` / `mcp-no-cookie-inventory.md` / `mcp-final-summary.md` / `tikhub-smoke-test.md`) are consolidated here. All future channel decisions should start from this document. *** ## TL;DR **Three-tier conclusion**: 1. **Free and usable without cookies**: Sogou WeChat, open-websearch (4 engines), Paper Search MCP (21 academic sources), PullPush (Reddit history), direct RSS reads, Jina Reader (some sites), and 13 official APIs. 2. **5 of 8 hard targets were unblocked through paid TikHub**: Xiaohongshu, Weibo, Zhihu, Twitter/X, and Douyin. The remaining 3 (flaky Weibo upstream, Instagram/LinkedIn parameters not fully tuned) were not fully solved in this round. 3. **Final architecture**: AutoSearch uses BYOK (users provide their own TikHub key) and declares dependencies with `requires: [env:TIKHUB_API_KEY]`. The base URL is read from an env var so environments can switch cleanly. **Cost anchor**: TikHub measured average cost is \*\*$0.0036/request**. 1000 research-grade calls cost about $3.6/month. *** ## Part 1: No-Cookie Usable Inventory (41) ### A.

These are not core to the research scenario, so do not invest for now. *** ## Part 3: TikHub Field Notes ### Basic Information * **Homepage**: [https://tikhub.io](https://tikhub.io) · **API base**: `https://api.tikhub.io/api/v1/` * **Auth**: `Authorization: Bearer $TIKHUB_API_KEY` * **OpenAPI spec**: `GET https://api.tikhub.io/openapi.json` (1058 endpoints) * **Billing**: pay-per-request, average \*\*$0.0036/request** (official marketing says starts at $0.001; measured cost is 3-4x higher) * **Free quota**: Daily check-in gives a small amount of free credit ### Platform Coverage (Confirmed Working) 16 platforms, 1000+ tools: ``` TikTok (204) · Douyin (247) · Instagram (82) · Xiaohongshu (71) Weibo (64) · Bilibili (41) · YouTube (37) · Kuaishou (33) Zhihu (32) · LinkedIn (25) · Reddit (24) · WeChat · Twitter Threads · TikHub Utilities · Other ``` ### Key Pitfalls (In the Order Encountered) 1. **Registration requires email verification**. Without verification, every endpoint returns 403 "email not verified". 2. **The free tier covers only some endpoints**. Xiaohongshu/Weibo/Twitter/Douyin all return 402 (Payment Required) until paid balance is > 0. Zhihu and Bilibili are covered by the free tier. 3. **Do not use `web_v3` for Xiaohongshu**. `/xiaohongshu/web_v3/fetch_search_notes` returns 400. Use the older `/xiaohongshu/web/search_notes`. 4. **Do not use `app/v3` for Douyin**. `/douyin/app/v3/fetch_video_search_result` returns 400. Use `/douyin/web/fetch_video_search_result_v2`; data is under `data.business_data[i].data` (two nested layers). 5. **Weibo endpoints are unstable across versions**. `web_v2/fetch_realtime_search` returns 400; `app/fetch_search_all` returns 422; `web/fetch_search` returns 200 but `cards` fluctuates. 6. **400 = upstream scraping failure, not necessarily bad parameters**. TikHub's 400 body says "please check docs and parameters", but in practice TikHub itself failed to scrape the target site. This kind of 400 **is not billed** (Only pay for successful requests). 7. **Twitter structure is already flattened**. `data.timeline` is a list, not the original GraphQL-style nested `instructions` structure. Iterate it directly. Fields: `screen_name / text / favorites / views / retweets / replies / created_at / tweet_id / lang`. ### 🚨 Security Note: The Key Is Echoed in Error Responses **TikHub 400 / 403 / 422 response bodies echo the full request headers, including auth information**. Integration must: ```python theme={null} # BAD — printing the response body directly leaks the key except httpx.HTTPStatusError as e: log.error("TikHub failed", body=e.response.text) # ❌ # GOOD — sanitize before logging def sanitize(data: dict) -> dict: detail = data.get("detail", {}) if isinstance(detail, dict): detail.pop("headers", None) for k in list(detail.keys()): if "auth" in k.lower() or "token" in k.lower(): detail[k] = "" return data except httpx.HTTPStatusError as e: log.error("TikHub failed", body=sanitize(e.response.json())) # ✅ ``` Tests must include: **assert exception string does not contain "Bearer"**. ### MCP vs API Choice TikHub officially provides 4 transports: Stdio / SSE / Streamable HTTP / Curl(API). **For AutoSearch**: **choose direct Curl/API calls**, not MCP. Reasons: * AutoSearch is a Python plugin installed with `pip install`. Using MCP would require users to additionally install Node.js + `mcp-remote` + the TikHub MCP server (3 dependencies) * AutoSearch channels are already "tools"; calling MCP from inside a tool is tool-calling-a-tool, and JSON-RPC over stdio adds a useless serialization layer * Enabling the full TikHub MCP exposes 1000+ tool schemas and injects roughly 400K tokens into Claude context, which is untenable * Even selecting only the 6 hard-target platforms still exposes \~470 tools (\~190K tokens), which is still not ideal **Good fit for Stdio MCP**: ad hoc calls where a user in a Claude Code session wants to directly search Xiaohongshu, and this is for the user to install TikHub MCP themselves; it is unrelated to AutoSearch. *** ## Part 4: Final AutoSearch Integration Architecture ### BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) Is the Only Reasonable Plan **Do not**: * ❌ Hardcode a TikHub key into the release build (a pip package exposes plaintext) * ❌ Share one key across all users (violates ToS and drains the balance) **Do**: * ✅ Users register and top up at `tikhub.io` themselves * ✅ `export TIKHUB_API_KEY=`, and AutoSearch reads the env var * ✅ SKILL.md declares `requires: [env:TIKHUB_API_KEY]`; without a key, the channel is automatically marked unavailable while other channels continue running ### Channel Structure (Validated by Pilot) ``` autosearch/lib/ └── tikhub_client.py # Generic client + error redaction + 5xx retries autosearch/skills/channels/zhihu/ ├── SKILL.md # frontmatter declares via_tikhub method └── methods/ └── via_tikhub.py # maps /zhihu/web/fetch_article_search_v3 to Evidence tests/lib/test_tikhub_client.py # client unit tests, including redaction assertion tests/channels/zhihu/test_via_tikhub.py # method unit tests ``` **fallback\_chain order**: `[via_tikhub, api_search, api_answer_detail]` — prefer TikHub when a key is present; fall back to the original path when no key exists. ### Leave Room for a Future Proxy `tikhub_client.py` reads the base URL from an env var: ```python theme={null} base_url = os.getenv("TIKHUB_BASE_URL", "https://api.tikhub.io") ``` If the upstream needs to be changed later, such as to a self-hosted proxy or mirror, users only need to change two env vars with zero code changes: ```bash theme={null} export TIKHUB_BASE_URL=https://your-proxy.example.com/tikhub export TIKHUB_API_KEY= ``` ### 5 Channels Pending Integration (Priority Order) | Priority | Channel | Endpoint | Status | | -------- | --------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | 1 | **zhihu** | `zhihu/web/fetch_article_search_v3` | ✅ pilot complete (branch `feat/tikhub-channels`) | | 2 | **xiaohongshu** | `xiaohongshu/web/search_notes` | Pending expansion | | 3 | **twitter** | `twitter/web/fetch_search_timeline` | Pending expansion | | 4 | **douyin** | `douyin/web/fetch_video_search_result_v2` | Pending expansion | | 5 | **bilibili** | `bilibili/web/fetch_general_search` | Pending expansion | After the pilot is validated, have Codex write the remaining 4 adapters in parallel from the same template. Each should be \< 50 lines. *** ## Appendix ### A.

All passed: | MCP | Underlying API | Smoke Test | Sample | | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Wikipedia** | `en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=` | Search `Claude AI` -> 5 results | Claude (language model) · Anthropic · OpenAI Codex · Artificial intelligence · Project Maven | | **Wikidata** | `query.wikidata.org/sparql` (SPARQL) | `P31 wd:Q11660` query for AI entities -> 5 results | AlphaFold · Lee Luda · Intelligent Autonomous Systems | | **Google Trends** | `pytrends` Python library (unofficial, simulated requests) | 7 days hourly `Claude AI` vs `ChatGPT` -> **169 rows** | Latest hour Claude AI=3, ChatGPT=45, making the brand-awareness gap obvious | | **Hugging Face Hub** | `huggingface.co/api/models?search=` | Search `llama` -> 5 results | meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct, 9.36M downloads · Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct, 490K downloads | | **Public APIs Directory** | Local `datastore/index.json` (1426 full APIs) | Full load + filter auth=No -> **668 no-key APIs** | 1426 APIs across dozens of categories including Animals/Crypto/Finance/Transport/Security | **Key clarification**: Public APIs Directory MCP ([zazencodes/public-apis-mcp](https://github.com/zazencodes/public-apis-mcp)) **does not depend on the now-dead `api.publicapis.org` at all**. Its data is built-in JSON (1426 entries), and the embedding index is built locally (.npz file). So even though the old API domain now fails DNS resolution, the MCP works correctly. **Pitfall warning — Google Trends**: pytrends is an unofficial simulated-request library. Google occasionally changes cookie/token mechanics and breaks it. Integration must include **retries + error tolerance** and must not treat it as a hard dependency. It is much more fragile than the other 4 official APIs. **Integration recommendation (lightest path)**: The first 4 can all be called directly through Python `httpx` against HTTP APIs; there is no need to start an MCP process. Public APIs Directory can have its `index.json` copied into AutoSearch and parsed locally. A 1426-row JSON file is small, and embeddings can be computed locally. This keeps AutoSearch free of new external process dependencies. *** ### Updated AutoSearch Priority After the Scan On top of the 6 "strongly recommended" basics in Part 1 section C, **add 3 highest-priority items**: 1. **FRED + World Bank** (macroeconomic signals, no key and no cookie in one step) 2. **Public APIs Directory** (metatool; lets AutoSearch automatically discover new channels) 3. **Open Library** (foundation for academic/publishing research) In total, AutoSearch should now add **9 channels** to become the "only full-coverage research system in the market": ``` Wikipedia + Wikidata # encyclopedia ✅ verified Google Trends # trends ✅ verified (flaky risk) Hugging Face Hub # AI models ✅ verified Public APIs Directory # metatool ✅ verified Google Patents # patents not verified CVE/NVD # security not verified FRED + World Bank # macroeconomics not verified Open Library # books not verified ``` All are 🟢 zero-key and zero-cookie. The implementation cost is small and the payoff is high. **First integration batch (4 already verified)**: Wikipedia, Wikidata, Hugging Face, Public APIs Directory — Codex can write channel adapters immediately, each \< 30 lines of Python + httpx code. **Second integration batch (5 not yet smoke-tested)**: Google Trends, Google Patents, CVE/NVD, FRED, Open Library — proceed by research-scenario priority, and run a smoke test against the underlying API before each integration.
