I built xlg to browse Reddit, HN, GitHub, Wikipedia from terminal using Unix pipe syntax.
Example: xlg 'reddit "r/Art" | take 5 | print'
Also works as MCP server for AI agents, OpenClaw

#2Some more examples:
- xlg 'hn "Claude" | take 5 | print' — search Hacker News
- xlg 'github "language:rust cli" | take 3 | print' — search GitHub
- xlg 'museum "monet" | take 3 | print' — browse Met Museum collection
- xlg 'play "Debussy"' — play on Apple Music (macOS)
It also runs as an MCP server, so AI agents (Claude Desktop, OpenClaw) can use these tools directly.
