What the publisher says
From the Twitter Signal repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
twitter-signal-mcp
Live X/Twitter search and AI trend digests inside Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — no Twitter/X API key, no subscription, no monthly minimum. Your agent pays a fraction of a cent per call in USDC on Base using x402.
x_search $0.02/call up to 20 newest matching tweets + engagement
x_digest $0.05/call the same tweets + an AI-written trend summary
x_leads $0.05/call the people behind matching posts, enriched (bio, website, emails, followers)
x_pain_points $0.05/call clustered complaints / feature requests / praise for a product, with quotes
x_user_timeline $0.02/call one account's own recent posts
x_profile $0.02/call one account's bio, stats, and links
x_tweet $0.01/call one tweet by ID, full text + engagement
x_replies $0.02/call the reply thread under one tweet
x_find_accounts $0.02/call accounts matching a name/topic, not posts
x_account_verdict $0.02/call AI read on whether an account is worth engaging
x_watch $0.05/call only the posts newer than your last checkWhy this exists
The official X API starts at a monthly subscription and a developer-account approval. If an agent just needs to know what people are saying right now, that's a lot of setup for a handful of queries. This server charges per request instead — a hundred searches costs about sixty cents, and there is nothing to cancel.
Tools
x_search — $0.02
Full advanced-search syntax. Returns up to 20 newest matches with author handle, follower count, text, timestamp, permalink, likes, retweets, replies, and views. Need more than 20? A full answer ends with next.older — pass its cursor value back (same query) for the next 20 older matches, $0.02 a page. No slicing dates by hand.
x_digest — $0.05
Everything above plus an AI-written digest generated only from the returned tweets:
{
"summary": "3-5 sentences on what's actually being said",
"sentiment": "positive | negative | mixed | neutral",
"sentiment_note": "why it leans that way",
"key_themes": ["..."],
"driving_accounts": ["@handle", "..."],
"notable_post_urls": ["https://x.com/..."]
}Use xdigest when you want the takeaway; xsearch when you want the raw posts.
x_leads — $0.05
Same advanced-search syntax as x_search, but returns the PEOPLE behind the matching posts instead of the posts themselves — enriched with bio, website, emails found in the bio, follower count, location, a DM-open flag, and every matching post per person:
{
"result_count": 20,
"lead_count": 8,
"leads": [{ "username": "someone", "followers": 5000, "emails": [], "matched_posts": [] }]
}Inputs: query (required, same syntax as x_search), max (optional, "20" or "40" — default 20). Use for recruiting, cofounder search, B2B lead generation, influencer discovery, community sourcing.
xpainpoints — $0.05
Pass a product or brand name/handle, get clustered complaints, feature requests, and praise mined from live X posts, with verbatim quotes and URLs:
{
"product": "Cursor",
"analysis": { "summary": "...", "pain_points": [{ "theme": "...", "count": 4, "severity": "medium" }] }
}Input: product (required — a name or an X handle). Use for product research, competitor research, churn signals, roadmap input.
xusertimeline — $0.02
An account's own recent posts (originals, replies, retweets), newest first. Input: username (required). Use: xusertimeline username="elonmusk" to track a competitor's or founder's own feed.
x_profile — $0.02
One account's bio, website, location, join date, follower/following counts, and verified status. Input: username (required). Use: xprofile username="cursorai" to qualify a lead before you reach out.
