Rednote Mac

rednote-mac

Control RedNote's Mac app directly — no browser, no API tokens. Uses macOS Accessibility API to drive the native App.

Headless tools (xiaohongshu-mcp) can't reach DMs, comment replies, or video comment lists — this skill can.

⚠️ Requires: Terminal → Accessibility permission + RedNote App visible on screen. No network access. No credentials stored.

Setup

cd ~/.agents/skills/rednote-mac && bash install.sh
openclaw config set tools.allow '["rednote-mac"]'
openclaw gateway restart

Enable in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility → Terminal.
