+### ๐ Quick Start: Pick the Version That Fits You
-> **๐ Please read before submitting a PR: [Contributing Guide](./CONTRIBUTING.md)**
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> #### ๐ฅ Option A: Deep Openclaw Integration (recommended for developers)
+> - **Openclaw is on fire ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ โ Openclaw support has been added in two flavors, pick whichever suits you:**
+> - [xiaohongshu-mcp-skills](https://github.com/autoclaw-cc/xiaohongshu-mcp-skills) (for users who already have this project deployed)
+> - [xiaohongshu-skills](https://github.com/autoclaw-cc/xiaohongshu-skills) (ready to use out of the box)
-**If you encounter any issues, be sure to check [Common Issues and Solutions](https://github.com/xpzouying/xiaohongshu-mcp/issues/56) first.**
+> [!TIP]
+> #### โจ Option B: x-mcp Browser Extension (recommended for non-technical users / anyone who wants the simplest setup)
+> - **Don't want to deal with Docker or set up a deployment environment? Try [xpzouying/x-mcp](https://github.com/xpzouying/x-mcp).**
+> - **Zero configuration**: install the extension and it just works โ no code, no proxy, no complicated environment setup.
+> - **Safe and stable**: runs directly in your everyday browser (Chrome/Edge) on your local network, with no server IP risk, and it solves 90% of deployment errors.
-After checking the **Common Issues** list, if you still can't resolve your deployment problems, we strongly recommend using another tool I've created: [xpzouying/x-mcp](https://github.com/xpzouying/x-mcp). This tool doesn't require deployment - you only need a browser extension to drive your MCP, making it more user-friendly for non-technical users.

+If you run into problems deploying the traditional Docker version, **be sure to check [Common Issues and Solutions (Issues #56)](https://github.com/xpzouying/xiaohongshu-mcp/issues/56) first**.

+> *Tip: if troubleshooting your environment is eating up too much time, switching to the [x-mcp extension](https://github.com/xpzouying/x-mcp) is usually the more efficient choice.*

- Tags: Now supported. Adding appropriate tags can bring more traffic.
- According to my practical experience, RedNote should allow **50 posts** per day.
- **(Very Important) RedNote does not allow the same account to login on multiple web platforms**. If you login to the current xiaohongshu-mcp, don't login to that account on other web platforms, otherwise it will "kick out" the current MCP account login. You can use the mobile app to check current account information.
+- If your reach is low, first check whether your content contains banned words โ there are plenty of free third-party tools you can search for.
+- Never do traffic diversion or pure content scraping/reposting โ these are exactly what the platform cracks down on.
**Risk Explanation**
1. This project is open-sourced based on another project of mine. The original project has been running stably for over a year without any account bans, only occasional cookie expiration requiring re-login.
2. I used Claude Code CLI integration and verified stable automated operation for several weeks before open-sourcing.
+3. If an account has not completed real-name verification, especially a new account, it will usually trigger a **real-name verification** prompt (see the screenshot below). โ ๏ธ This is not an account ban โ you would be asked to verify even without using the MCP. Once verified, the account works normally. It is recommended to complete verification before using this project.

+> Make sure xiaohongshu-mcp is already deployed locally before you start. Handing the GitHub link to OpenClaw and letting it deploy the project for you is **not recommended**.
+
+Since OpenClaw does not natively support MCP yet, the officially recommended way to call MCP services is through **MCPorter**.
+
+> ๐ก **Tip:** MCPorter is not the ideal way to call MCP โ you may run into compatibility issues along the way, so please be aware.
+
+#### Installation and Setup
+
+Just hand the following three commands to OpenClaw in one go (via the Control UI, Telegram, Feishu, etc.), and OpenClaw will set up MCPorter for you.
+
+```
+npm i -g mcporter
+npx mcporter config add xiaohongshu-mcp http://localhost:18060/mcp

+> โ ๏ธ The following are known risks when using OpenClaw + MCPorter. Please read them carefully before you start:
+
+- OpenClaw's automated AI deployment behavior is outside the scope of this project's maintenance, and its results cannot be guaranteed
+- As an intermediate layer, MCPorter may introduce additional compatibility issues that have nothing to do with xiaohongshu-mcp itself
+- If you hit connection failures or abnormal tool calls, please check MCPorter's own configuration first instead of filing an Issue
+- Before asking in the community or the groups, please confirm whether the problem also reproduces **without OpenClaw**
+
+If you do not specifically need OpenClaw, we strongly recommend switching to a client with native HTTP MCP support such as [Claude Code CLI](#claude-code-cli), [Cursor](#cursor) or [Cline](#cline) โ the experience is much more stable.
