README

X (Twitter) MCP server

Features

Fetch user profiles, followers, and following lists.
Post, delete, and favorite tweets.
Search Twitter for tweets and trends.
Manage bookmarks and timelines.
Built-in rate limit handling for the Twitter API.
Uses Twitter API v2 with proper authentication (API keys and tokens), avoiding the username/password hack to minimize the risk of account suspensions.
Provides a complete implementation of Twitter API v2 endpoints for user management, tweet management, timelines, and search functionality.

Prerequisites

Python 3.10 or higher: Ensure Python is installed on your system.
Twitter Developer Account: You need API credentials (API Key, API Secret, Access Token, Access Token Secret, and Bearer Token) from the Twitter Developer Portal.
Optional: Claude Desktop: Download and install the Claude Desktop app from the Anthropic website.
Optional: Node.js (for MCP integration): Required for running MCP servers in Claude Desktop.
A package manager like uv or pip for Python dependencies.

Installation

Option 1: Installing via Smithery (Recommended)

To install X (Twitter) MCP server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @rafaljanicki/x-twitter-mcp-server --client claude

Option 2: Install from PyPI

The easiest way to install x-twitter-mcp is via PyPI:

pip install x-twitter-mcp

Option 3: Install from Source

If you prefer to install from the source repository:

Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/rafaljanicki/x-twitter-mcp-server.git
cd x-twitter-mcp-server

Set Up a Virtual Environment (optional but recommended):

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

Install Dependencies: Using uv (recommended, as the project uses uv.lock):
```
uv sync
```
Alternatively, using pip:
```
pip install .
```
Configure Environment Variables:
- Create a .env file in the project root (you can copy .env.example if provided).
- Add your Twitter API credentials:
```
TWITTER_API_KEY=your_api_key
TWITTER_API_SECRET=your_api_secret
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_token
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=your_access_token_secret
TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN=your_bearer_token
```
- To use bookmark tools (get_bookmarks, delete_all_bookmarks), also add an OAuth 2.0 user access token:
```
TWITTER_OAUTH2_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_oauth2_user_token
```
  See Obtaining an OAuth 2.0 User Token below.

Obtaining an OAuth 2.0 User Token

The bookmark endpoints (GET /2/users/:id/bookmarks, DELETE /2/users/:id/bookmarks/:tweet_id) require OAuth 2.0 User Context — they reject both app-only bearer tokens and OAuth 1.0a. You need to perform the PKCE authorization flow once to obtain a user-scoped token.

Steps

In the Twitter Developer Portal, open your app → **Settings
