What the publisher says
From the X (Twitter) repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
mcp-x
An MCP server that gives an LLM the X (Twitter) API: read and search posts, manage users and lists, upload media, and publish — as the account whose keys it runs on.

What it is
mcp-x is a Model Context Protocol server written in Go. It exposes the X API v2 to any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, IDE agents, custom LLM apps) as 42 tools covering posts, users, lists and media.
It authenticates with OAuth 1.0a user context, which means every call acts as a real X account — the one the four keys belong to. xpostcreate publishes publicly. xuserfollow really follows. xpostdelete is irreversible. This is not a sandbox, and it is not free: see The X API costs money before you wire it into an agent.
Both transports the MCP SDK supports are available and expose the identical tool set:
- stdio — the client launches the binary and talks over stdin/stdout (the default, ideal for desktop clients).
- http — a long-running streamable HTTP server (useful for remote/shared deployments).
The X API costs money
[!WARNING]
There is no free tier any more. X retired the Free/Basic/Pro subscription tiers for new developers and moved to pay-per-use credits: you buy credits upfront in the Developer Console and every request deducts from the balance in real time. Legacy Basic ($200/mo) and Pro ($5,000/mo) subscriptions survive only for accounts that already had them; Enterprise starts around $42,000/mo. A new developer account today gets pay-per-use and nothing else.
Rates at the time of writing (official pricing — always re-check the Console, they have changed several times in 2026):
Two things follow from this, and both are baked into the server:
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
