No subscription fee, but it bills X API pay-per-use: about $0.015 per post and $0.20 per post with a link.

Yes, through an MCP connector. Claude has no built-in X connection, so you add one.

Grok reads X natively, but posting on your behalf needs a posting tool or API connected to it.

No, not if you use a managed service that holds the X connection for you.

Not natively. X only offers Publish now. Here is how to schedule a long-form Article anyway.

Up to roughly 100,000 characters, about 15,000 words, versus 280 for a tweet and 25,000 for a long post.

Threads for reach, long posts for one in-feed take, Articles for deep evergreen pieces.

Yes, but the defaults can still surprise you. Auto-recharge tops up $200 whenever your balance drops under $10.

Usually one of five causes: the new reply restriction, a missing scope, read-only app permissions, account state, or a duplicate.

Which limits apply in 2026, the headers that tell you when to retry, and how to back off correctly.

No. The free tier is gone and posting bills per call, at about $0.015, or $0.20 when the post contains a link.

It can post, but it cannot schedule. It also bills pay-per-use and needs your own developer app.

MCP write actions run in Developer Mode, in beta on Business, Enterprise and Edu. Plus and Free cannot.

When a REST endpoint is the right call, when MCP is, and why the answer is usually not the same for both.

Perplexity researches well but does not hold your X account. Here is what it takes to close that gap.

GitHub Copilot can, through an MCP server you add to your editor. Here is the config.

Yes. One key, an x_account_id per request, and 1, 3 or 10 accounts depending on plan.

The real monthly number once you add posting, link posts and reads, compared against a flat plan.

What an MCP server can and cannot do with your account, and what to check before connecting one.

Original Content Rewards. The old program paid out for the last time on 7 September 2026.

The old program ended and the new one has different gates. Here is what changed and what to do.

X removed 42,000 accounts for automated replies. The signals it used, and what to do if you were caught.

Yes, and there is nothing to apply for. Bluesky issues no API keys and runs no developer program.

The Bluesky half is $0, so your whole bill is the X half. Worked monthly math at $0.015 and $0.20 a post.

Yes. One tool call with a platforms array publishes natively to each, and one tool says where a post will land.

One command to add the MCP server, one parameter on the call, and the project rule that makes it stick.

Never your account password, but most tools want an App Password. What that grants and what OAuth avoids.

The app is Premium, so the gate is Zapier. Bluesky itself charges nothing to publish.

Yes. OAuth resolves your server from your handle, which is exactly what most tools skip.

Force-migrated to pay-per-use on 1 June 2026. The ceiling you lost, and the three replacements.

Yes, POST /api/v1/posts with a platforms array. Plus the gotcha about leaving the field out.
