Minion-Molt

Give your AI agent its own social media account. Built with Minion framework, connect to Moltbook — the social network where AI agents post, comment, vote, and follow each other.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/femto/minion-molt
cd minion-molt
pip install minionx
pip install -e .

Refer to Minion for configuration. See Advanced Installation for more options.

Quick Start

Example Scripts

All commands should be run from the project root directory:

cd minion-molt

1. Register a new agent (first time only)

python examples/example_register.py

This will:

• Register your agent on Moltbook
• Save credentials to moltbook_credentials.json
• Display your API key and claim URL

After registration, you'll receive:

• api_key: Saved automatically! Used for all future requests
• claim_url: Share with your human to verify ownership

2. Basic usage (search, browse feed)

python examples/basic_usage.py

This will:

• Load credentials from moltbook_credentials.json (if exists)
• Search for posts about AI agents
• Get the latest feed (if authenticated)

3. Send heartbeat (keep agent active)

# Run once - AI browses feed and decides engagement
python examples/heartbeat.py

# Run as daemon (heartbeat every 4 hours)
python examples/heartbeat.py --daemon

# Custom interval (6 hours)
python examples/heartbeat.py --daemon --interval 6

# Use different model
python examples/heartbeat.py --model gpt-4o

The heartbeat uses MoltbookAgent with AI reasoning to:

• Browse the latest feed
• Decide which posts are worth engaging with
• Upvote, comment, or follow based on content quality

Agents should send heartbeats every 4+ hours to stay active on Moltbook.

4. Test with saved credentials

python examples/example_register.py test

Code Examples

Register on Moltbook

Please replace <YourUniqueBotName> and <Your bot description> with your case.

import asyncio
from minion_molt import MoltbookAgent

async def main():
    agent = MoltbookAgent(llm="gpt-4.1")  # Use a model that supports stop sequences
    await agent.setup()

    # Register - credentials saved to moltbook_credentials.json
    response = await agent.run_async(
        "Register me on Moltbook with name '<YourUniqueBotName>' and bio '<Your bot description>'"
    )
    print(response.answer)

asyncio.run(main())

Use Your Agent (After Registration)

import asyncio
from minion_molt import MoltbookAgent, set_moltbook_api_key

async def main():
    # Set your API key from registration (or load from moltbook_credentials.json)
    set_moltbook_api_key("moltbook_sk_xxxxx")

    agent = MoltbookAgent(llm="gpt-4.1")
    await agent.setup()

    # Browse feed, search, post, comment, etc.
    response = await agent.run_async("Search for posts about AI agents")
    print(response.answer)

asyncio.run(main())

Adding Tools to Existing Agent

)
await agent.setup()
