What is the X (Twitter) MCP Server?
Connect your X (Twitter) developer account to any AI agent and take full control of your social listening workflow through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Recent Tweet Search — Search for latest public discussions (up to past 7 days) across the network using exact keywords, hashtags, or handles
- User Lookups — Fetch precise profile metadata of a specific user by their @username, revealing follower counts, verified states, and biographies

How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your X (Twitter) App Bearer Token
3. Start scanning social data securely from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No need to scrape HTML or fiddle with complex Postman queries. Your AI agent becomes your eyes on the timeline.
Who is this for?
- Founders & Creators — track brand mentions or specific niche keywords to respond early to sentiment shifts
- Product Researchers — pull lists of recent tweets about competitors and ask the agent to summarize common user pain points
- Marketing Teams — audit influencers' engagement by checking exact follower counts and most prominent tweets in seconds

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 does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
