surfagent-x

X adapter for SurfAgent.

This adapter gives AI agents X-native verbs for navigation, extraction, posting, replies, likes, reposts, proof-first task execution, recovery, and deeper research workflows.

What this adapter is for

Use surfagent-x when you need reliable X workflows like:

• opening key X surfaces

• checking route-specific state

• extracting timelines, profiles, communities, posts, and threads

• creating posts and replies

• liking posts

• running X-specific recovery flows

• doing broader topic or community research with receipts

Why this exists

X is not a generic website.

It has:

• route-specific UI states

• React-sensitive composer behavior

• flaky button-state signals

• community-specific flows

• delayed state settlement after actions

So this adapter wraps X-specific navigation, action, verification, and recovery into dedicated tools.

It also now bakes in some hard-won X lessons:

• account switching uses a trust hierarchy instead of one weak extraction pass

• flaky switcher or composer states can trigger visual snapshot escalation

• composer flows auto-recover with real typing when text appears present but X still keeps submit disabled

• built-in state maps help agents reason about switcher, composer, and community surfaces faster

How to use it

Run this adapter alongside the base SurfAgent MCP.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "surfagent": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "surfagent-mcp"]
    },
    "surfagent-x": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "surfagent-x"]
    }
  }
}

CLI task runner

For repeatable X actions, prefer the built-in deterministic task runner over a live improvised browser loop.

surfagent-x task engage-post --account reggiesurfagent --url https://x.com/surfagentapp/status/123 --repost
surfagent-x task quote-post --account solvingdilemma --url https://x.com/surfagentapp/status/123 --text "Real browser-native agents need proof, not vibes."

Each task run writes a journal plus screenshots under:

• ${SURFAGENT_RUN_DIR:-$TMPDIR/surfagent-x-runs}

If you are new to SurfAgent, start here first:

• https://github.com/surfagentapp/surfagent-docs/blob/main/docs/start-here.md

• https://github.com/surfagentapp/surfagent-docs/blob/main/docs/mcp-server.md

• https://github.com/surfagentapp/surfagent-docs/blob/main/docs/skills-and-adapters.md

When to use this vs skills vs raw MCP

• use surfagent-mcp for raw browser control

• use surfagent-skills for workflow rules and operating discipline

• use surfagent-x when you want reliable X-native verbs instead of rediscovering X every run

Environment variables

• SURFAGENT_DAEMON_URL default: http://127.0.0.1:7201

• SURFAGENT_AUTH_TOKEN optional override, otherwise auto-detected

• SURFAGENT_RUN_DIR optional override for task-runner journals and screenshots

Status

Early, but already one of the more capable SurfAgent adapters.
