publish_draft

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/x_mcp/server.py:201-253 (handler)

  Executes the publish_draft tool: validates input, loads draft from file, publishes single tweet or thread to Twitter/X using Tweepy, removes draft, returns published tweet ID.

• src/x_mcp/server.py:87-100 (registration)

  Registers the publish_draft tool in the @server.list_tools() handler, including name, description, and input schema.

  Tool(
      name="publish_draft",
      description="Publish a draft tweet or thread",
      inputSchema={
          "type": "object",
          "properties": {
              "draft_id": {
                  "type": "string",
                  "description": "ID of the draft to publish",
              },
          },
          "required": ["draft_id"],
      },
  ),

• src/x_mcp/server.py:90-99 (schema)

  Input schema definition for publish_draft tool: object with required 'draft_id' string property.

  inputSchema={
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
          "draft_id": {
              "type": "string",
              "description": "ID of the draft to publish",
          },
      },
      "required": ["draft_id"],
  },

• src/x_mcp/server.py:126-127 (helper)

  Tool dispatch in @server.call_tool(): routes 'publish_draft' calls to the handle_publish_draft function.

  elif name == "publish_draft":
      return await handle_publish_draft(arguments)
