x-mcp-playwright v1.3.0

Stealth Twitter/X MCP server powered by Patchright (stealth Playwright fork), persistent multi-profile sessions, WebRTC leak protection, and humanized keystroke dynamics.

9 grouped tools - 33 actions preserved, zero functionality lost.

Features

  • Stealth & Anti-Detection: Patchright engine with WebRTC leak prevention, randomized keystroke intervals (human_type), and browser fingerprint masking.

  • Proxy Support (HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5): Route all traffic through custom proxies or ssh-mcp SOCKS5 tunnels (X_MCP_PROXY="socks5://127.0.0.1:1080").

  • Fast Media Route Blocking: Automatically aborts images, heavy media, fonts, and telemetry during search and scraping operations for up to 3x speedup and 75% RAM reduction.

  • Multi-Profile Session Management: Easily switch between accounts via X_MCP_PROFILE="account_name".

  • 9 Grouped Tools: Posting, engagement, search, feed browsing, tweet analytics, DMs, list management, session status.

      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/Steph-ux/x-mcp-playwright.git", "x-mcp-server"],
      "env": {

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "x-twitter": {
      "command": "x-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "X_MCP_HEADLESS": "1"

One-Time Interactive Login

To authenticate your session:

x-mcp-login [optional_profile_name]
# or: python login.py [optional_profile_name]

This opens a browser window. Log into your X/Twitter account (complete 2FA if enabled). Once you reach x.com/home, the session is automatically saved to ~/.x-mcp-playwright/profiles/<profile_name>/.
