• Redreach MCP · news, 2026-09-22
  An MCP server that exposes Redreach's Reddit growth-marketing data — ranked high-intent posts, mention tracking and reply suggestions — inside agent workflows like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor and Codex, so Reddit demand-gen can run from your agent stack instead of a separate dashboard. It is a thin client over the paid Redreach SaaS: closed-source, needs a Redreach key, and has no free plan.
• toot · tool, 2026-09-13
  ~1323 stars; complements Mastodon.py; OAuth2 login against open Mastodon API; CLI + TUI. Open protocol — no ban/ToS risk. GPL-3.0 copyleft (matters if embedding/redistributing, not for CLI use).
• OpenPost · tool, 2026-09-09
  Open-source, self-hostable social-media management platform (Go core; SvelteKit web, Expo mobile): create, adapt, schedule and publish content across networks with built-in image/video editing and analytics — an AGPL-3.0 alternative to Buffer, CapCut and Canva that replaces three GTM SaaS bills with one self-hosted stack.
• Async PRAW · tool, 2026-09-03
  ~154 stars; complements PRAW, redditwarp; aiohttp-based async twin of PRAW; same OAuth2 sanctioned Reddit API and rate-limit compliance. ToS-clean official approach for asyncio workloads.
• atproto (python-sdk) · tool, 2026-09-03
  ~654 stars; complements skyware-js/bot, mattn/bsky; App-password / OAuth session against the open AT Protocol (XRPC), auto-generated from official lexicons; sync+async. Open protocol — no ToS/ban risk; PDS-agnostic. De-facto Python SDK for Bluesky.
• bsky (mattn) · tool, 2026-09-03
  ~454 stars; complements atproto (python-sdk), skyware-js/bot; Go CLI over the open AT Protocol using app-password auth. Substituted for the ambiguous 'bsky-cli' name (several exist); this is the most-adopted active CLI. Open protocol — no ban/ToS risk.
• discourse_api · tool, 2026-09-03
  ~304 stars; complements pydiscourse (Python client); Official Discourse (discourse org) Ruby client for the sanctioned API. Auth via admin API key. No ToS/ban risk.
• Mastodon.py · tool, 2026-09-03
  ~957 stars; complements toot; OAuth2 app tokens against the documented, open Mastodon REST API (open protocol / ActivityPub). No ToS/ban risk — self-hostable, per-instance rate limits. Feature-complete through Mastodon 4.5.
• PRAW · tool, 2026-09-03
  ~4218 stars; complements asyncpraw, redditwarp; OAuth2 (script/web/installed app) against the sanctioned Reddit API; enforces Reddit rate-limit rules internally. De-facto standard, ToS-compliant. Note Reddit's 2023 paid-API terms for high-volume commercial use.; via GitHub cross-ref, ossinsight.io
• pythreads · tool, 2026-09-03
  ~72 stars; complements threads-py, threads-api; OAuth2 against Meta's SANCTIONED Threads API (Graph-style) — covers all published endpoints. ToS-clean official approach; the correct modern replacement for the dead reverse-engineered libs. Requires a Meta developer app.
• tweepy · tool, 2026-09-03
  ~11178 stars; complements twikit, twscrape, snscrape; OAuth 1.0a / OAuth 2.0 + API key/bearer token against sanctioned X API v2. ToS-compliant; subject to paid API tiers and per-tier rate limits. No ban risk when used with an authorized developer app.; via GitHub cross-ref, ossinsight.io
• X Algorithm · tool, 2026-09-03
  Official source for the X For You recommendation stack: candidate retrieval, engagement prediction, diversity-aware ranking, content/account labeling, visibility filtering, ads blending, and supporting Rust/JAX services; ~31.4k stars; valuable reference implementation but not a standalone deployable social platform and some anti-abuse rules are intentionally withheld
