Documentation

ReadGZH — WeChat Article Reader for AI

License: AGPL v3 Website MCP

Let AI read full-text WeChat Official Account (微信公众号) articles. Cloud-based, zero-install. Returns title, author, publish time, and clean Markdown content. Supports standard articles and image-post (图文) formats.

Why ReadGZH

WeChat articles can't be read by Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or other AI tools — mp.weixin.qq.com blocks bots. ReadGZH solves this with a cloud reader you can call from any AI client.

  • ☁️ Cloud-based — no WeChat desktop install, no local script
  • 💰 Shared cache — previously read articles cost 0 credits for everyone
  • 🖼️ CDN image proxy — permanent image links, no expiry
  • 📱 Image-post (图文) support — full coverage of WeChat's gallery format
  • 🤖 AI summaries — structured JSON via ?mode=summary (Pro)
  • 🔌 MCP, OpenAPI, REST — works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, custom agents

Quick Start

Use it from your AI client (MCP)

ReadGZH is a remote MCP server — no install. Add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "readgzh": {
      "url": "https://api.readgzh.site/mcp-server"
    }
  }
}

Then ask your AI: "Read this for me: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/..."

Optional API key (higher quota, bypasses anonymous IP limits):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "readgzh": {
      "url": "https://api.readgzh.site/mcp-server",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer rgz_..." }
    }
  }
}

Use it from code (REST)

curl -X POST https://api.readgzh.site/rd \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer rgz_..." \
  -d '{"url":"https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/xxxx"}'
