GetXAPI MCP: Twitter/X API for Claude, Cursor and any MCP client

The official GetXAPI MCP server. Give your AI assistant direct access to the Twitter/X API: search tweets, look up users, read replies and followers, and post tweets, send DMs, manage articles, and more, through one Model Context Protocol server.

Unlike read-only Twitter MCP servers, GetXAPI MCP can act: post tweets, reply, like, retweet, send DMs, and publish articles, not just read.

Install

Add it to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "getxapi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@getxapi/mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "GETXAPI_KEY": "get-x-api-..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Get your GETXAPI_KEY from your GetXAPI dashboard. That's all the read tools need.

Or via the Claude Code CLI:

claude mcp add getxapi -- npx -y @getxapi/mcp@latest

What you can do

Once installed, just ask your assistant naturally:

"Find Elon Musk's latest tweets" "Search tweets about OpenAI from the last week" "Who are @vercel's verified followers?" "Get the replies to this tweet: 1799…" "Post 'shipping 🚀' to my X account" (requires X auth, see below)

Read vs. write tools

Enabling write tools

Write and private tools act on a real X account, so they need that account's auth. Two ways to provide it:

Option A, log in through the assistant (convenient):

"Log in to my X account"

The assistant calls the x_login tool with your credentials and keeps the session for write tools. ⚠️ Your X password is passed as tool arguments, so it transits the AI model's context. For sensitive accounts, prefer Option B.

Option B, set credentials in config (recommended for sensitive accounts):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "getxapi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@getxapi/mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "GETXAPI_KEY": "get-x-api-...",
        "X_AUTH_TOKEN": "...",
        "X_CT0": "...",
        "X_TWID": "...",
        "X_PROXY": "http://user:pass@host:port"
      }
    }
  }
}

X_CT0, X_TWID, and X_PROXY are optional. X_AUTH_TOKEN alone is enough for most write tools; the others improve reliability on some accounts.

Your X password never touches the model. The credential fields are never shown to the AI. The server injects them only into the calls that need them.

How billing works

Every tool call is a normal GetXAPI API call authenticated with your GETXAPI_KEY, metered exactly like direct API usage. No separate MCP billing. See pricing.
