CowAgent supports both personal subscription accounts and enterprise service accounts.
TypeRequirementsFeatures
Personal SubscriptionAvailable to individualsSends a placeholder reply first; users must send a message to retrieve the full response
Enterprise ServiceEnterprise with verified customer service APICan proactively push replies to users
Official Accounts only support server and Docker deployment, not local run mode. Install extended dependencies: pip3 install -r requirements-optional.txt

​
1. Personal Subscription Account

Add the following configuration to config.json: 
{
  "channel_type": "wechatmp",
  "single_chat_prefix": [""],
  "wechatmp_app_id": "wx73f9******d1e48",
  "wechatmp_app_secret": "YOUR_APP_SECRET",
  "wechatmp_aes_key": "",
  "wechatmp_token": "YOUR_TOKEN",
  "wechatmp_port": 80
}

​
Setup Steps

These configurations must be consistent with the WeChat Official Account Platform. Navigate to Settings & Development → Basic Configuration → Server Configuration and configure as shown below:
  1. Enable the developer secret on the platform (corresponds to wechatmp_app_secret), and add the server IP to the whitelist
  2. Fill in the config.json with the official account parameters matching the platform configuration
  3. Start the program, which listens on port 80 (use sudo if you don’t have permission; stop any process occupying port 80)
  4. Enable server configuration on the official account platform and submit. A successful save means the configuration is complete. Note that the “Server URL” must be in the format http://{HOST}/wx, where {HOST} can be the server IP or domain
After following the account and sending a message, you should see the following result: Due to subscription account limitations, short replies (within 15s) can be returned immediately, but longer replies will first send a “Thinking…” placeholder, requiring users to send any text to retrieve the answer. Enterprise service accounts can solve this with the customer service API.
Voice Recognition: You can use WeChat’s built-in voice recognition. Enable “Receive Voice Recognition Results” under “Settings & Development → API Permissions” on the official account management page.

​
2. Enterprise Service Account

The setup process for enterprise service accounts is essentially the same as personal subscription accounts, with the following differences:
  1. Register an enterprise service account on the platform and complete WeChat certification. Confirm that the Customer Service API permission has been granted
  2. Set "channel_type": "wechatmp_service" in config.json; other configurations remain the same
  3. Even for longer replies, they can be proactively pushed to users without requiring manual retrieval
