@twitterapis/mcp

@twitterapis/mcp is the official MCP server for TwitterAPIs, built for developers and AI agents that need Twitter / X data inside Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code or any MCP client, with no X developer account. Your agent can search tweets, read profiles, timelines, followers, threads and lists, and post, reply, like, retweet or follow from an X account you link. Most reads cost $0.0008 per call, about $0.04 per 1,000 tweets since a call returns about 20, and creating a tweet costs $0.0016. New accounts get $0.50 of free credit with no card. Every tool maps to one REST endpoint at api.twitterapis.com, and the server holds no state.

Install: npx -y @twitterapis/mcp@latest with TWITTERAPIS_KEY from https://www.twitterapis.com/signup

Hosted, sign in instead of pasting a key (Claude Code): claude mcp add --transport http twitterapis https://api.twitterapis.com/mcp

Website: https://www.twitterapis.com/mcp

Quick start

No install needed. Run with npx. You need one thing: an API key (free $0.50 in credits, no card required): twitterapis.com/signup.
