Superpowers.social — MCP server for X/Twitter & Reddit

Status (2026-09-13): anonymous access is paused after abuse of the free anonymous tier. Access now requires a free API key. New users: email hello@superpowers.social and you get one, free. Send it as Authorization: Bearer <key> (or x-api-key) with the URL below.

A hosted MCP server that gives Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any agent runtime live tool-use access to X/Twitter and Reddit. No X/Reddit API keys. No scraping setup. No banned accounts.

Endpoint: https://superpowers.social/mcp (Streamable HTTP)

Why

The official APIs are paywalled into oblivion (X starts at $100/mo, Reddit is heavily rate limiting). Direct scraping flags accounts in days. Most agents end up stuck on stale article snippets while the actual conversation happens on X and Reddit.

This server runs the gateway so you don't have to. One URL, ten tools, schema-validated responses, token-optimized payloads.

Tools

X/Twitter (5)

Reddit (5)

All tools are read-only, idempotent, and return token-optimized responses (up to 90% smaller than raw API JSON).

Install

Claude Desktop

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector:

• Name: social-superpowers

• URL: https://superpowers.social/mcp

ChatGPT (desktop or web)

Settings → Apps & Connectors → enable Developer mode (one-time) → Create:

• Name: social-superpowers

• URL: https://superpowers.social/mcp

All tools are read-only, so the connector works on Plus/Pro developer mode.
