OpenTweet MCP Server ★ New (July 3)¶

Overview¶

OpenTweet MCP (opentweet-io-twitter-mcp-server) provides AI agents with full Twitter/X management capabilities. Post tweets, search content, analyze engagement, and manage your X presence — all through natural language. Built for marketers, social media managers, and operators who live on X.

Key advantage: X/Twitter management becomes agentic. Instead of scheduling posts in a dashboard, composing threads manually, and checking analytics separately, operators can manage their entire X presence through their AI agent.

Key Features¶

Post management: Compose, schedule, and publish tweets and threads
Search & discovery: Search tweets by keyword, hashtag, or user with advanced filtering
Engagement analytics: Track impressions, likes, retweets, replies, and follower growth
Timeline monitoring: Monitor home timeline, lists, and saved searches
User analysis: Analyze follower demographics, engagement patterns, and content performance
Draft & schedule: Queue posts for optimal timing with content calendar integration
Hosted endpoint: Remote MCP server at opentweet.io

Installation¶

# Add to Hermes (remote endpoint)
hermes mcp add opentweet --url https://opentweet.io/twitter-mcp-server

# Authenticate (OAuth — connects your X account)
hermes mcp auth opentweet

Manual Configuration¶

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opentweet": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://opentweet.io/twitter-mcp-server",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${OPENTWEET_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prerequisites¶

OpenTweet Account: Sign up at opentweet.io
X/Twitter Account: Connect your X account via OAuth
X API Access (optional): For advanced analytics and higher rate limits

Business Use Cases¶

Content Scheduling: "Draft a 5-tweet thread about our Q2 results, schedule it for Tuesday at 9 AM ET"
Engagement Monitoring: AI agent tracks replies to your tweets and drafts responses for review
Competitive Analysis: "Analyze the last 50 tweets from our top 3 competitors — what topics are they posting about?"
Trend Surfing: Agent monitors trending topics in your niche and suggests timely content angles
Audience Insights: "Show me which of my tweets got the most engagement this month and identify common themes"
Hashtag Strategy: Agent analyzes hashtag performance and recommends optimal hashtag combinations

Business Relevance¶

X/Twitter remains the primary platform for tech operators, founders, and B2B marketers. Managing it effectively requires constant attention — drafting, scheduling, monitoring, engaging. OpenTweet MCP offloads the mechanical work to AI agents, letting operators focus on strategy and high-value replies. For agencies managing multiple client accounts, the agent can monitor and draft across accounts simultaneously.

Limitations¶

X API rate limits apply (varies by X API tier — Basic/Pro/Enterprise)
DMs require elevated X API access (Pro tier minimum)
Automated posting may trigger X's spam detection — human review recommended for high-volume accounts
Analytics data limited to what X API exposes (no third-party data enrichment)
X API access costs scale with usage — factor into budget for high-volume agents
