Twitter MCP Cookbook: 20 Workflows for Developers
This cookbook is a collection of ready-to-use workflows for managing Twitter/X through MCP. Each recipe includes the prompt you'll type, what happens behind the scenes, and a tip to get better results.
All recipes work with the OpenTweet MCP server connected to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.
Prerequisites: An OpenTweet account with a connected X account, an API key from the Developer Dashboard, and the MCP server installed. See the setup guide if you haven't done this yet.
1. Schedule a Week of Tweets
Prompt:
Schedule 7 tweets for this week, one per day. Topics:
Monday - TypeScript tip, Tuesday - React pattern,
Wednesday - career advice, Thursday - hot take on AI,
Friday - project showcase, Saturday - tool recommendation,
Sunday - ask-me-anything prompt. Use my best posting times.
What happens: Claude checks your analytics for optimal times, generates 7 tweets, and batch-schedules them across the week.
Tip: Be specific with topics to get better content. Vague topics like "tech stuff" produce generic tweets.
2. Create a Thread from a Topic
Prompt:
Create a 5-tweet thread explaining how React Server Components
work under the hood. Start with the "why," cover the key
mechanisms, and end with a practical takeaway. Save as draft.
What happens: Claude uses opentweet_create_thread to create a properly linked 5-tweet thread and saves it as a draft for your review.
Tip: Specify the number of tweets. Threads between 4-7 tweets tend to perform best for engagement.
3. Check Your Best Posting Times
Prompt:
What are my best posting times based on my analytics? Show me
the top 5 time slots and which days perform best.
What happens: Claude calls opentweet_get_analytics with type: "best_times" and presents your optimal posting schedule.
Tip: Review this weekly. Your best times shift as your audience grows and changes.
4. Batch Schedule 50 Tweets
Prompt:
I have a product launch in 2 weeks. Create 50 tweets covering:
teaser tweets (week 1), launch day tweets (day of), and
follow-up tweets (week 2). Topics include feature highlights,
customer testimonials angles, technical deep-dives, and
engagement questions. Schedule them across the 2-week period
at optimal times, 3-4 per day.
What happens: Claude generates all 50 tweets, creates them as drafts, then batch-schedules them using opentweet_batch_schedule across your specified timeframe.
Tip: For large batches, ask Claude to show you the full list for approval before scheduling. You can say "show me the tweets first, don't schedule yet."
5. Review and Publish Drafts
Prompt:
Show me all my draft tweets. For each one, tell me if it's
ready to publish or needs improvement, and why.
What happens: Claude calls opentweet_list_tweets with status: "draft", reads each one, and gives you editorial feedback.
Tip: Follow up with "publish drafts 1, 3, and 5 right now" or "improve draft #2 and schedule it for tomorrow."
6. Upload Media and Schedule
Prompt:
Upload the screenshot at /Users/me/Desktop/feature-demo.png
and create a tweet saying "Just shipped inline editing. Click
any text to edit it directly. No modals, no popups, just
type." Schedule it for tomorrow at 10am.
What happens: Claude uploads your image using opentweet_upload_media, gets back a URL, then creates and schedules the tweet with the image attached.
Tip: PNG and JPG work best for screenshots. Keep images under 5MB. Videos support MP4 and MOV up to 20MB.
7. Create a Daily Content Calendar
Prompt:
Create a content calendar for next week. I want to post 3
times per day (morning, afternoon, evening). Mix of: technical
tips (40%), build-in-public updates (30%), engagement questions
(20%), and curated recommendations (10%). Show me the calendar
first before scheduling.
What happens: Claude creates a structured plan with 21 tweets, categorized and timed, then waits for your approval before scheduling.
Tip: The "show me first" instruction is key for large batches. Always review before committing.
8. Analyze Posting Performance
Prompt:
Show me my posting analytics for the last 30 days. What's my
average engagement rate? Which topics performed best? What
patterns do you notice?
What happens: Claude retrieves your analytics using opentweet_get_analytics and provides a plain-language analysis with actionable insights.
Tip: Ask specific follow-up questions like "which of my threads got the most engagement?" to dig deeper.
9. Generate Tweets for a Product Launch
Prompt:
I'm launching a new feature tomorrow: AI-powered email
templates. Generate 10 launch tweets:
- 2 teaser tweets for tonight
- 3 launch announcements for tomorrow morning
- 3 feature highlight tweets for tomorrow afternoon
- 2 social proof / engagement tweets for the evening
Make each one different in style and angle.
What happens: Claude creates 10 varied tweets and can schedule them across your launch timeline.
Tip: Include your feature's key benefit and target audience for more relevant content.
10. Create an Evergreen Content Pool
Prompt:
Create 15 evergreen tweets about JavaScript performance
optimization. These should be timeless tips that stay relevant
for months. Save them all as drafts so I can add them to my
evergreen queue.
What happens: Claude generates 15 timeless tweets and saves them as drafts. You can then add them to your evergreen queue for automatic recycling.
Tip: Evergreen content should avoid version numbers, dates, or trending references. Focus on fundamentals.
11. Schedule Tweets Across Multiple Accounts
Prompt:
I want to post about our new API release. Create a tweet for
my personal account (casual, developer voice) and one for the
company account (professional, feature-focused). Schedule both
for tomorrow at 10am.
What happens: Claude creates two versions of the same announcement tailored to each account's voice and schedules them.
Tip: If you manage multiple X accounts through OpenTweet, specify which account when creating tweets.
12. Create a Thought Leadership Thread
Prompt:
Write a thought leadership thread about why most startups fail
at developer marketing. 7 tweets. Start with a bold claim,
back it up with reasoning, include a contrarian take, and end
with actionable advice. Make it sound like a founder sharing
hard-won lessons, not a marketing blog.
What happens: Claude creates a 7-tweet thread designed for maximum engagement using the thought leadership format.
Tip: Thought leadership threads perform best when they start with a strong, slightly controversial opening tweet.
13. Repurpose a Blog Post into Tweets
Prompt:
Here's my latest blog post: [paste URL or content]. Extract
the 5 most tweetable insights and create individual tweets for
each one. Also create a thread that summarizes the entire post
for people who won't click through.
What happens: Claude analyzes your content, extracts key insights, and creates both standalone tweets and a summary thread.
Tip: The standalone tweets and the thread should be different — don't just split the thread into individual posts.
14. Schedule a Twitter Space Promotion
Prompt:
I'm hosting a Twitter Space on Friday at 3pm EST about
"Building SaaS with AI." Create a promotion sequence:
- Announcement tweet (today)
- Reminder tweet (Thursday)
- "Starting in 1 hour" tweet (Friday 2pm)
- "Live now" tweet (Friday 3pm)
- Recap tweet (Friday 5pm)
Schedule all of them.
What happens: Claude creates 5 promotional tweets with escalating urgency and schedules each at the specified time.
Tip: Include a link to your Twitter Space in the prompt so Claude can add it to the tweets.
15. Build in Public Update Thread
Prompt:
Weekly build-in-public update. This week I:
- Shipped user authentication (OAuth2)
- Fixed 12 bugs from user reports
- Got 50 new signups (total: 230)
- Revenue hit $1,200 MRR
Create a thread that shares this transparently. Include
numbers, be honest about challenges, and make it engaging.
Schedule for Monday 9am.
What happens: Claude turns your raw bullet points into an engaging build-in-public thread with proper formatting and storytelling.
Tip: Build-in-public threads perform best with real numbers. Don't be afraid to share specifics — transparency drives engagement.
16. Share Stripe Milestones Automatically
Prompt:
I just crossed $5,000 MRR on Stripe. Create a celebration
tweet that shares this milestone. Include: the number, how long
it took (8 months), what I learned, and a forward-looking
statement. Keep it humble but confident.
What happens: Claude creates a milestone celebration tweet tuned for the right balance of pride and humility.
Tip: If you use the OpenTweet Stripe connector, milestone tweets can be generated automatically when you hit revenue targets.
17. Tweet GitHub Release Notes
Prompt:
We just released v2.4.0 of our open-source library. Here are
the release notes:
- Added streaming API support
- Fixed memory leak in connection pool
- New: Plugin system for custom transports
- Breaking: Renamed `config.timeout` to `config.requestTimeout`
Create a tweet announcing this release. Make it exciting for
developers, mention the most impactful features first, and
include a call to upgrade.
What happens: Claude creates a developer-focused release announcement that highlights the most relevant changes.
Tip: For bigger releases, ask for a thread instead of a single tweet. Each major feature gets its own tweet.
18. Create an Engagement Thread Series
Prompt:
Create a "hot takes" engagement thread with 5 controversial
(but defensible) opinions about web development in 2026.
Format each as a standalone tweet that could go viral on its
own, but they also work as a thread. End with "What's your
hottest take? Reply below."
What happens: Claude creates a thread where each tweet is designed to provoke discussion and replies.
Tip: Engagement threads work best when each tweet can stand alone. People share individual tweets from threads, not the whole thing.
19. Set Up a Weekly Content Review
Prompt:
Show me everything I have in my queue: scheduled tweets for
this week, all drafts, and my posting analytics from last
week. Give me a summary: am I on track? What gaps do I have?
What should I create to fill them?
What happens: Claude pulls your scheduled posts, drafts, and analytics, then gives you a strategic overview of your content pipeline.
Tip: Do this every Sunday evening. It takes 2 minutes and ensures you start the week with a full queue and a clear plan.
20. Create a Tweet A/B Test
Prompt:
I want to test which style of tweet gets more engagement.
Create two versions of a tweet about our new dark mode feature:
- Version A: straightforward announcement
- Version B: storytelling approach (the problem, the journey,
the result)
Schedule version A for Tuesday 10am and version B for Thursday
10am.
What happens: Claude creates two distinct versions of the same message and schedules them on different days so you can compare performance.
Tip: Keep everything constant except the variable you're testing (style, format, time, etc.). Check analytics after both have run to pick the winner.
Putting It All Together
These 20 workflows cover the entire spectrum of Twitter management — from daily operations to strategic campaigns. The key insight is that you don't need to remember specific commands or navigate complex UIs. Just describe what you want in plain language.
Start with the workflows you need most (probably #1, #2, and #8) and expand from there. Over time, you'll develop your own variations and compound workflows that combine several recipes.
The OpenTweet MCP server documentation has the full list of available tools, and the Claude Code integration guide covers advanced setup options.
All workflows in this cookbook use the OpenTweet MCP server. 18 tools, natural language control, works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.
