by pranrichh
Spectre is an X/Twitter automation MCP server with 104 tools that lets AI agents perform comprehensive Twitter actions by directly calling internal GraphQL/REST APIs without a browser or API keys.
Account Management: Manage multiple accounts (add, remove, switch), auto-rotate on rate limits, and check pool health.
Search & Discovery: Search tweets (latest/top/media, with full query operators) and users; get trends by category (trending, news, sport, entertainment); view home, user, and list timelines, tweets, replies, threads, retweeters, likers, edit history, and similar posts; explore community info.
Posting & Engagement: Post tweets (including replies, quotes, media), upload images/videos/GIFs; delete, like/unlike, retweet/unretweet, bookmark/unbookmark, pin/unpin tweets and replies; create/delete profile highlights.
Drafts & Scheduling: Create, edit, list, and delete drafts; schedule tweets for future posting.
Direct Messages: Send DMs; view inbox and conversations; search DMs (all, groups, or people); manage DM blocking and muted conversations.
Lists & Communities: Create, update, delete lists; add/remove members; subscribe/unsubscribe; get list timeline, members, memberships, ownerships. Join/leave communities; get community tweets and info.
Bookmarks: Bookmark/unbookmark; search bookmarks; clear all; manage bookmark folders (create, rename, delete, add/remove tweets, view folder timeline).
Profile Management: Update profile details (name, bio, website, location), avatar, and banner; delete banner; get account settings; remove followers.
Social Graph: Follow/unfollow users and topics; mute/unmute; block/unblock; view followers, following, mutual (followers you know), verified followers, and muted/blocked accounts.
Safety: Destructive actions (e.g., delete, update profile) include warnings to prevent accidental misuse.

Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Spectre is an MCP server that gives AI agents 104 tools for X/Twitter automation — from search and posting to DMs, lists, and communities. Under the hood, it talks directly to X's internal GraphQL and REST APIs. No browser to spin up, no Puppeteer to maintain, no DOM scraping that breaks on UI changes.

1. Install
pipx install spectre-mcp # or: uv tool install spectre-mcp2. Add Your X Account
Extract cookies from your browser:
Open x.com and make sure you're logged in
Open DevTools (
F12orCtrl+Shift+I)Go to Storage → Cookies → select
https://x.comFind and copy these two values:
auth_token— long hex string (e.g.a1b2c3d4...)ct0— 160-character hex string
spectre add myaccount "auth_token=a1b2c3d4...; ct0=e5f6a7b8..."Tip:
ct0is exactly 160 hex characters. Double-check you copied the full value — partial cookies will fail silently.
3. Configure Your MCP Client
Add to your MCP client config (~/.hermes/config.yaml, claude_desktop_config.json, .cursor/mcp.json, or equivalent):
{
"mcpServers": {
"spectre": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["spectre-mcp"]
}
}
}For client-specific setup (Hermes skill, Claude, Cursor, Python), see Integrations.
