X (Twitter)

X (Twitter) is an MCP server that connects Claude Desktop directly to the X (formerly Twitter) platform to compose and publish content. Built for social media managers, developers, and content creators, the integration enables users to interact with X through natural language inside their conversational AI client. Instead of switching windows to manage a social profile, users can draft single tweets, generate multi-tweet threads, inspect saved drafts, and publish updates immediately via their X Developer account credentials. The server bridges the Model Context Protocol with the official X API, supporting standard read and write actions configured through personal API keys and tokens. By integrating post creation and thread drafting directly into the LLM interface, users can iterate on messaging, review tweet length and formatting, inspect previous drafts, and confirm publication without manual copy-pasting. The tool requires user-configured API credentials from the X Developer Portal with appropriate read and write permissions to safely authenticate and execute tweet operations on behalf of the connected user account.
