mcp-twikit

MCP.Pizza Chef: adhikasp

Signing in with your ordinary X username, email, and password rather than a developer account, this tool lets an assistant search posts, pull someone's recent activity, read your home timeline, publish a post, delete one, and send or remove direct messages. Eight tools ship, several more than the readme documents. The code has not changed since March 2025, and because it drives X through an unofficial back door rather than official access, expect occasional breakage and some risk to your account.

mcp-twikit FAQ

Is this still being looked after?

Not really. The last code change landed in March 2025, and unofficial X access tends to break when X changes its site, so treat it as a hobby project rather than something dependable.

Do I need a paid X developer account?

No, and that is the catch. Instead you paste your normal X username, email, and password into a settings file, so your real account is doing the work and carries the risk.

Can I use this to post and delete tweets?

Yes. Alongside searching and reading, it can publish a post, delete a post, send a direct message, and delete a message, even though the readme only shows the reading examples.

Which apps does it work in?

Claude Desktop is the one documented, and it will run in any other app that accepts a standard MCP settings block, such as Cursor or Cline.

How hard is it to set up?

Middling. You paste a short block into your app's settings file and add your X login details, or let Smithery do the pasting for you.

What tends to go wrong?

X limits how much one account can read, so heavy use gets throttled. Logging in this way can also get an account challenged or locked, so avoid using an account you cannot afford to lose.
