Twitter MCP

Twitter MCP is an MCP server that connects large language model clients to the Twitter API to read and publish social media content. Built for developers, researchers, and social media managers using Model Context Protocol interfaces like Claude Desktop, the server bridges the gap between natural language prompts and Twitter programmatic interactions. By configuring credentials through the developer portal, users can prompt their assistant to draft and publish updates directly to their feed without switching contexts. In addition to creating posts, the server provides search capabilities, enabling AI assistants to scan Twitter for specific keywords, monitor ongoing trends, and retrieve recent public discussions for research or sentiment evaluation. The tool operates using Node.js execution via npx and standard environment variables for authentication, giving users straightforward control over social automation workflows directly within their daily AI development environments.
