Real-time Amazon, WIPO & PACER data for AI agents ā 19 tools via the MCP protocol.
Your agent needs X/Twitter data ā who follows a competitor, what a community is posting, who quoted that tweet, what is trending in Japan. Normally that means applying for an X developer account, passing app review, and managing a quota per endpoint. **What you can ask for** ⢠"Who follows @stripe, and which of them are verified?" ⢠"Pull every reply and quote on this tweet and summarise what people object to." ⢠"List this community's moderators and its posts this week." ⢠"What is trending in Japan right now?" ⢠"Give me the full thread context behind this link, including the long-form article." **How to use it** Point any MCP client at https://mcp.aisa.one/twitter-api/mcp and sign in with OAuth ā there is no key to create or paste. 29 read tools: users (profile, about, batch lookup by id, search, followers, verified followers, followings, follow check), tweets (timeline, latest, mentions, advanced search, replies, quotes, retweeters, thread context, articles), communities, lists, Spaces and trends. **Why this rather than the source** No developer account to apply for, no app review, no per-endpoint quota to manage. **It is also a door to the rest** The same login reaches 26 sources and 580+ operations. Ask for a handle's followers here, then ask the same agent for that brand's search traffic, its backlinks, or the people to contact ā without adding a second server. **What it costs** Finding and inspecting an operation is free. Running one is billed per call at API prices, with no seat and no monthly minimum, and every call takes max_price_usd so an agent cannot overspend by accident. **Where else it reaches** https://mcp.aisa.one/social/mcp for X plus Instagram, Reddit, Pinterest and YouTube; https://mcp.aisa.one/gtm/mcp for those plus Similarweb and Apollo.
