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

Hosted MCP server for live X/Twitter and Reddit research. 10 read-only tools for search, threads, timelines, posts and comments. Streamable HTTP: add the URL and sign in with Google or GitHub when prompted. Free tier available.

• Website: https://superpowers.social

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

Tools

All ten tools are read-only and idempotent. Eight of them trim the upstream response to the fields listed below and, when the trim saves enough to be worth reporting, append a stats line saying how much was stripped. twitter-news and reddit-get-user-comments are the exceptions: they return the upstream objects as they arrive, so the field lists below do not describe them and no stats line is emitted.

X/Twitter (5)

Tweet fields, for twitter-search, twitter-read, twitter-thread and twitter-user-tweets: id, text, createdAt, author, authorName, url, and replyCount / retweetCount / likeCount when X returns them. Quoted tweets are nested under quotedTweet. text_only reduces each tweet to {id, text}. twitter-news returns news items, not tweets, and passes their fields through unchanged apart from a curation prefix stripped off category.

Reddit (5)

Post fields: id, title, author, subreddit, createdUtc, url, and the post body when there is one. The list tools — reddit-search, reddit-get-posts, reddit-get-user-posts — truncate that body to a 500-character selftext_preview; reddit-get-post returns the full selftext and its comments as id, author, body, plus depth where the source gives one. text_only reduces each post to {id, title}. None of these carry a Reddit score or comment count — the source does not provide them. reddit-get-user-comments applies no field filtering — its comment objects come through as the source returns them.

Setup

Authentication is required for every call — an unauthenticated initialize returns 401.

Claude Code (verified 2026-09-16)

claude mcp add --transport http social-superpowers https://superpowers.social/mcp

Sign in with Google or GitHub when Claude Code opens the browser prompt. That is the whole setup — the ten tools are then available in the session.

Any other MCP client

Any client that speaks Streamable HTTP can connect to https://superpowers.social/mcp with either:

• its own MCP OAuth sign-in flow, if it supports one — the same Google or GitHub prompt, nothing to set up in advance; or

• an API key, for clients without MCP OAuth: mint a key at https://superpowers.social/account and send it as Authorization: Bearer sk_live_… or x-api-key.

Generic Streamable-HTTP-with-API-key configuration shape (adjust to your client's own config format):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "social-superpowers": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://superpowers.social/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_live_…"
      }
    }
  }
}

Examples

You: what are people on X saying about $INTC?
Agent: twitter-search { "query": "$INTC", "count": 25 }
       → up to 25 tweets with author, timestamp, link and reply/retweet/like counts

You: which subreddits discuss Tirzepatide side effects?
Agent: reddit-search { "query": "tirzepatide side effects", "count": 10 }
       → posts with author, subreddit, permalink and a body preview
       reddit-get-post { "post_id": "1abc234" }
       → the full post with its comments
