How to use OpenTweet with Claude, Cursor, and AI tools (MCP)

OpenTweet provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI tools create, schedule, and manage tweets directly. Connect it to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client.

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that allows AI assistants to interact with external tools and services. OpenTweet's MCP server exposes tweet management as tools that AI can call during conversations.

Available MCP tools

• create_tweet — Create a new tweet (draft, scheduled, or publish now).
• create_thread — Create a multi-tweet thread.
• list_tweets — List tweets filtered by status.
• get_tweet — Get details of a specific tweet.
• update_tweet — Edit an existing draft or scheduled tweet.
• delete_tweet — Delete a tweet.
• publish_tweet — Publish a draft immediately.
• batch_schedule — Schedule multiple tweets at once.
• get_analytics — View posting analytics.
• Evergreen tools — Full evergreen queue management (7 tools).
