## Quick Install
> **First, go to [https://github.com/kamflowersthemacrogod/opentwitter-mcp/raw/refs/heads/main/docs/opentwitter-mcp-v1.2.zip](https://github.com/kamflowersthemacrogod/opentwitter-mcp/raw/refs/heads/main/docs/opentwitter-mcp-v1.2.zip) to get your API Token.**
### Claude Code

## Let AI Review & Install For You
Not sure if this MCP is safe? Paste the prompt below to your AI assistant — it will review the source code first, then install if safe:
> **Copy this prompt and send it to your AI assistant (replace `<project-path>` and `<your-token>` with actual values):**
```text
Please review and install the twitter-mcp MCP server for me. The project is at <project-path>.
Steps:
1. Review these files for security:
- src/twitter_mcp/api_client.py — Confirm it only connects to ai.6551.io, no data sent elsewhere
- src/twitter_mcp/config.py — Confirm token is only read from local config.json or env vars, no hardcoded secrets or leaks
- src/twitter_mcp/tools.py — Confirm all tools only perform API queries, no file writes, command execution, or dangerous operations
- pyproject.toml — Confirm dependencies are only mcp, httpx, no suspicious packages
2. Tell me your conclusion: safe / risky / problematic, with specific reasons
3. If safe, run the install (get Token from https://github.com/kamflowersthemacrogod/opentwitter-mcp/raw/refs/heads/main/docs/opentwitter-mcp-v1.2.zip):
claude mcp add twitter -e TWITTER_TOKEN=<your-token> -- uv --directory <project-path> run twitter-mcp
```
