Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Context API MCP ServerWhat does @visionscaper think about the future of AI?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Context API MCP Server
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server to access the doppelgangers.ai Social Media Context API.
This MCP server provides access to contextualized renderings (XML descriptions) of Twitter/X posts. The contextualization allows for:
More high-quality retrieval of relevant information from the posts,
More high-quality analysis of insights, trends, topics, etc. from the posts
The contextualization is achieved by adding the following information to the XML description of each post:
Descriptions of referenced posts and images
When the post is a reply in a conversation, the conversation or a summary of the conversation.
Metadata about the post (e.g., creation data, post ID, etc.)
Note that no descriptions are added yet related to referenced videos or links (external sites).
The XML structure helps to describe the relationship between posts and their context.
Using the available tools has a cost associated with it, with each call the credit balance is updated.
Features
search_relevant_posts: Semantic search of contextualized post renderings of a certain Twitter/X user, based on a natural language queries like "What does @visionscaper think about the future of AI?".
get_all_user_posts: Retrieve all contextualized post renderings of a specific Twitter/X user. This is useful to analyse the posts for insights, trends and topics over all posts.
