X MCP Server

# Next Steps After Receiving OAuth Credentials ## 🎉 Congratulations! You've successfully received your OAuth 2.0 Client ID and Client Secret from Twitter. Here's what to do next: ## 📋 Immediate Actions ### 1. Store OAuth Credentials Securely ```env # Add these to your .env file (for future use) TWITTER_CLIENT_ID=your_oauth_client_id_here TWITTER_CLIENT_SECRET=your_oauth_client_secret_here ``` ### 2. Get API Keys for MCP Server Your MCP server needs **different credentials** - the API keys: 1. **Go to "Keys and tokens"** in your Twitter app dashboard 2. **Copy the API Key and API Secret** 3. **Generate Access Token and Access Token Secret** 4. **Add them to your `.env` file**: ```env # These are what your MCP server actually uses X_API_KEY=your_api_key_here X_API_SECRET=your_api_secret_here X_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_token_here X_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=your_access_token_secret_here ``` ## 🔄 Current Status | Credential | Status | Action Needed | |------------|--------|---------------| | OAuth Client ID | ✅ Received | Store securely | | OAuth Client Secret | ✅ Received | Store securely | | API Key | ⏳ Pending | Get from "Keys and tokens" | | API Secret | ⏳ Pending | Get from "Keys and tokens" | | Access Token | ⏳ Pending | Generate in "Keys and tokens" | | Access Token Secret | ⏳ Pending | Generate in "Keys and tokens" | ## 🚀 Quick Setup Commands Once you have your API keys: ```bash # 1. Copy environment template cp env.example .env # 2. Edit .env with your credentials # (Add your API keys to the file) # 3. Test authentication npm run test-auth # 4. Build and start the server npm run build npm start ``` ## 🔐 Security Reminders - ✅ **OAuth Client Secret**: Keep this secret - never share it - ✅ **API Credentials**: Store in `.env` file (already in `.gitignore`) - ✅ **Never commit credentials** to version control - ✅ **Rotate credentials** regularly for security ## 📚 Helpful Resources - **Authentication Guide**: `docs/authentication-guide.md` - **App Setup Guide**: `docs/app-setup-guide.md` - **OAuth Credentials Guide**: `docs/oauth-credentials-guide.md` - **Test Script**: `scripts/test-auth.js` ## 🎯 What's Next 1. **Get API keys** from "Keys and tokens" 2. **Configure `.env` file** with API credentials 3. **Test authentication** with `npm run test-auth` 4. **Start using your X MCP server** to post tweets! --- **Remember**: OAuth credentials are for future OAuth flows, but your MCP server needs the API keys from "Keys and tokens" to function.
