Frequently asked questions
Can my AI search for tweets containing a specific competitor's hashtag?
Yes. Ask the agent to run a recent search tool utilizing your query (e.g., '#competitor'). It will grab the last 10 matching tweets within seconds, giving you raw sentiment and user commentary without opening the app.
How far back in time can the agent search for tweets?
The tool uses the standard v2 API limited to Recent Searches. This means the agent can perfectly fetch any matching tweets published in the last 7 days. It is optimized for reactive, fast-paced monitoring workflows.
Can it tell me if a specific user is verified or how many followers they have?
Absolutely. Providing the agent with the user's handle will invoke the lookup tool. It returns exactly what the developer sees: the verified status, follower metrics, account description, and geographic location if public.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http "" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
