MCP tools reference

The OpenTweet MCP server exposes 36 tools so an AI agent can post, schedule, recycle, and analyze content on X (Twitter) with one API key. This page lists every tool grouped by what it does. For install steps see the MCP setup guide.

One key, all agents

These tools work in any MCP client. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT, OpenClaw, Hermes, and any other MCP or REST client can call them once you connect the server below.

Connect the server

Hosted endpoint (nothing to install, paste into any MCP client):

mcp config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opentweet": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://mcp.opentweet.io/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ot_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

Or run it locally over npm with your key in the environment:

mcp config (local)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opentweet": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@opentweet/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "OPENTWEET_API_KEY": "ot_your_key" }
    }
  }
}
