Project description

HuiMei 慧媒 — Chinese Social Media Automation CLI & MCP Server

The first MCP Server for Chinese social media — let AI agents publish to Douyin, XHS, Bilibili, Kuaishou, Weibo, and 6 more platforms through one unified interface.

Why HuiMei?

  • 🌏 Only MCP Server for Chinese social media — Covers 11 platforms including 抖音 (Douyin), 小红书 (XHS), B站 (Bilibili), 快手 (Kuaishou), 微博 (Weibo), and more. No other tool does this.
  • 🔀 CLI + MCP dual interface — Humans use the terminal (huimei publish), AI agents use the MCP protocol. Same engine, two entry points.
  • 🔒 Local-first execution — Playwright runs on your device. Cookies are encrypted and stored locally. Your credentials never leave your machine.
  • 🔄 Hybrid execution — Cloud for convenience, local for safety. Auto mode gives you the best of both — tries your local browser first, falls back to cloud if offline.
  • ⚡ Zero-config worker — Login once, CLI stays connected. Your WebUI can dispatch tasks to your local machine with no extra setup.

Execution Modes

HuiMei supports three execution modes, configurable via WebUI (Profile → Publish Settings) or CLI:

ModeDescriptionBest For
☁️ CloudServer-side engine publishesZero-config, batch publishing
💻 LocalCLI opens local browserResidential IP, lower risk
🔄 Auto (default)CLI-first, cloud fallbackBest of both worlds

Switch via CLI

huimei login --server prod # Connect to production

Or change in WebUI: Profile → Publish Settings

When using Local or Auto mode, the CLI background worker automatically:

  • Connects to backend via WebSocket
  • Receives publish tasks from WebUI
  • Downloads media files from cloud storage
  • Opens local browser with your cookies
  • Executes the publish automation
  • Reports results back to WebUI

No manual worker management needed — it starts on login and reconnects automatically.

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

Available MCP Tools

        "The Arm"                          "The Brain"

CLI is the arm, Backend is the brain. The CLI executes browser automation locally. All business logic, scheduling, and orchestration happen on the backend.

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.

🔄 Settings Sync — Settings changed in WebUI instantly sync to CLI via WebSocket.
