TwitterXAPI MCP¶
Remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP, bearer API key) - TwitterXAPI gives agents public X posts, profiles, conversations, followers, search and trends through eight hosted MCP tools, without the operator building against the X API directly.
Server type: Remote (Streamable HTTP)
Auth: Bearer API key (tx_live_...)
Endpoint: https://twitterxapi.com/api/mcp
Tools: 8 (search_x, get_x_user and related public-data tools)
Pricing: API key from twitterxapi.com
Category: Marketing
Built by: TwitterXAPI (twitterxapi.com)
Why This Matters for Operators¶
Social listening usually means either a heavyweight platform subscription or building against the X API yourself, with its access tiers and rate limits. TwitterXAPI sits in between: one hosted endpoint, one key, eight tools over public data, so an agent can search posts, pull a profile and read trends inside the workflow that already does the rest of the research.
The trade-off is scope for simplicity. It covers public data only, which is exactly what brand monitoring, competitor research and trend tracking need, without the account-level complexity of a full API integration.

Business Relevance¶
- Brand and comms teams monitor mentions of the company and competitors from the assistant.
- Growth teams track trends and conversations to time content.
- Sales researchers read a prospect's public posts before outreach.
- Analysts pull public post volume as a demand signal alongside other data.
Integration with CorpusIQ¶
TwitterXAPI adds the public-conversation layer to the business picture CorpusIQ assembles. An agent can watch for a spike in mentions of a product line, then check Stripe or GA4 to see whether it tracked to revenue, or read a prospect's public posts to inform a HubSpot outreach sequence. One server reads the public conversation, CorpusIQ reads the business, and together they connect a social signal to a business outcome.
Limitations¶
- Brand new, no track record yet.
- Public X data only; no posting or account management.
- Requires a TwitterXAPI key, and pricing follows the plan selected.
- Coverage ultimately depends on what the upstream X data exposes.
- Eight tools is a focused surface rather than a full API wrapper.
FAQ¶
Does TwitterXAPI need an X developer account?¶
No. It is a hosted service with its own key from https://twitterxapi.com/api/signup, so the operator works against the MCP endpoint rather than the X API directly.
Can it post or manage an account?¶
No. It exposes public read data such as posts, profiles, conversations, followers, search and trends.
How is it authenticated?¶
With a bearer API key passed in the Authorization header (tx_live_...).
