This MCP server allows Clients to interact with Twitter, enabling posting tweets, searching Twitter and reading your home timeline.
-
Create a Twitter Developer account and get your API keys from Twitter Developer Portal
-
Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"twitter-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@enescinar/twitter-mcp"],
"env": {
"API_KEY": "your_api_key_here",
"API_SECRET_KEY": "your_api_secret_key_here",
"ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_access_token_here",
"ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET": "your_access_token_secret_here"
}
}
}
}- Restart Claude Desktop
That's it! Claude can now interact with Twitter through three tools:
post_tweet: Post a new tweet, optionally as a reply (reply_to_tweet_id) or with up to 4 images (media_paths: local JPG, PNG, GIF or WEBP files)search_tweets: Search for tweetsget_home_timeline: Get recent tweets from accounts you follow
Returns your reverse-chronological home timeline (tweets from you and the accounts you follow), newest first. All parameters are optional:
count: number of tweets to return (1-100)since_days: only return tweets from the last N days, e.g.1,3or7(max 30)start_time: only return tweets created after this ISO 8601 UTC timestamp, e.g.2024-01-01T00:00:00Z
Use either since_days or start_time, not both.
Note: The home timeline endpoint (
GET /2/users/:id/timelines/reverse_chronological) is not available on the Free X API tier. You need a paid tier (Basic or higher); on the Free tier this tool returns a Twitter API error.
Try asking Claude:
- "Can you post a tweet saying 'Hello from Claude!'"
- "Can you post a tweet saying 'New logo!' with the image /Users/me/Pictures/logo.png"
- "Can you search for tweets about Claude AI?"
- "What have the accounts I follow posted in the last 3 days?"
Logs can be found at:
