OpenTweet is the posting layer for X (Twitter), built for AI agents, developers, and creators. AI agents post through the MCP server and REST API with no X developer account. Automated accounts run on smart connectors (RSS, GitHub, Stripe). And creators get a full Twitter scheduler: visual calendar, AI content generation, thread scheduling, and an evergreen queue. One tool, whether the one posting is you or your agent.

Yes. OpenTweet has an MCP server (Model Context Protocol) and REST API that lets AI agents post to X. Point Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible client at the hosted server at https://mcp.opentweet.io/mcp, or install the npm package locally. Your agent gets 36 tools including create_tweet, schedule_tweet, create_thread, batch_schedule, create_article, get_analytics and add_to_evergreen. No X developer account needed.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard by Anthropic that lets AI assistants connect to external tools. The OpenTweet MCP server gives your AI agent direct access to post, schedule, and manage your X account through natural conversation. Run it two ways: point your client at the hosted endpoint at https://mcp.opentweet.io/mcp with nothing to install, or install the npm package so it runs locally and your API key never leaves your machine.

OpenTweet has an MCP server (Model Context Protocol) that connects to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and any MCP-compatible AI client. Add three lines to your MCP config file with your OpenTweet API key, and your AI assistant gets 36 tools to post tweets, schedule threads, check analytics, and manage your evergreen queue, all through natural conversation.

No. You connect your X account through OpenTweet's dashboard with one click. OpenTweet handles the Twitter API for you: no developer applications, no API key management from X, and setup takes under 2 minutes.

The official X API and XMCP both require an X developer account and pay-per-use API pricing since February 2026: about $0.015 a post, $0.200 when the post contains a link, and $0.005 a read. The $200 Basic and $5,000 Pro tiers were retired to new signups in May 2026. OpenTweet sits on top of all that: you connect your X account with one click, and your agent gets an MCP server, REST API, and CLI with scheduling, threads, analytics, and an evergreen queue already built in, for a flat $11.99 to $49 a month with no meter. No developer application, no OAuth token management, no usage-based bill.

No, and no other tool on a self-serve tier can either. On 23 February 2026 X restricted programmatic replies through POST /2/tweets: an app can only reply when the original author @mentions it or quote-posts it. That applies to the pay-per-use tier too, and only Enterprise access is exempt. OpenTweet posts through the official X API, so the restriction applies to us as well. Threads still work, because a thread is a reply to your own post, which is unaffected.

No. Scheduled and automated posting is allowed under X’s automation rules as long as it goes through the official API on an account you authorized. OpenTweet publishes through the official X API. It does not scrape, it does not drive a logged-in browser session, and it never signs in with your password, which are the behaviours that get accounts suspended.

Both, within limits. It writes posts, threads and Articles, and reads back your own account’s analytics, top posts and best posting times. It can also search X for high-performing posts in your niche to repurpose. It is not a firehose and it does not monitor competitors or scrape other people’s timelines.

You get full access to all OpenTweet features for 7 days. During the trial, you can post up to 20 tweets per day, schedule unlimited posts, use AI generation, set up connectors, and explore everything. If you love it, subscribe to continue. If not, cancel anytime before the trial ends.

OpenTweet offers a 7-day free trial with full access to all features. After the trial, plans start at $11.99/month (or $9.99/month billed annually). There is no permanent free plan, but the trial gives you full access to test every feature including AI generation, connectors, and the MCP server.

After your 7-day free trial, you'll be prompted to choose a paid plan to continue posting. Your scheduled posts, drafts, and connector configurations are all saved. If you don't subscribe, your account moves to a read-only state and no posts are deleted. You can reactivate anytime.

OpenTweet runs your prompt through any of seven models across Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and xAI. Pick a tone, give it a topic, and it returns several variations. Nothing publishes until you review, edit and approve it.

Yes! You can schedule both single tweets and multi-part threads with up to 25 tweets per thread. Create your thread in the editor, preview how it will look, and schedule it to post automatically. All parts post in sequence at your scheduled time.

Yes. Connect your blog's RSS feed using OpenTweet's RSS Connector. Every time you publish a new post, OpenTweet detects it within minutes, uses AI to generate an engaging tweet from the title and content, and schedules it automatically. WordPress, Substack, Ghost, and any RSS-enabled blog are supported, no code required.

Connectors are automated content pipelines that generate posts from your existing content. Connect an RSS feed to auto-share new blog posts, link a JSON API to post updates, connect GitHub to share your latest commits and releases, or connect Stripe to celebrate revenue milestones. AI transforms the raw content into engaging tweets.

Absolutely! You can bulk import posts via JSON, generate multiple posts with AI at once, or use the batch scheduling feature to schedule an entire week of content in minutes. Drag and drop posts on the visual calendar to adjust timing.

An evergreen queue automatically recycles your best-performing tweets on a schedule you control. Mark any tweet as 'evergreen,' set a cooldown period (e.g., 30 days), and OpenTweet will re-post it automatically after the cooldown expires. Your top content keeps getting new reach without you writing anything new.

The OpenTweet Companion is a free Chrome extension that works directly inside X (Twitter). It lets you analyze any profile's posting patterns, see engagement heatmaps, discover optimal posting times, and highlight viral posts. It syncs with your OpenTweet dashboard so you can apply insights to your schedule.

Currently, OpenTweet supports X (Twitter). We are laser-focused on making it the best Twitter scheduling tool available. Support for additional platforms like LinkedIn, Bluesky, and Threads is on our roadmap.

Yes. Pro supports 1 X account, Advanced supports up to 3, and Agency supports up to 10 X accounts. All accounts are managed from a single OpenTweet dashboard. You can switch between accounts, filter your post queue by account, and schedule posts to specific accounts.

X's built-in scheduler only supports single tweets and requires an X Premium subscription. OpenTweet supports single tweets, threads up to 25 parts, bulk scheduling, evergreen recycling, AI content generation, automated connectors, and full API access, all without an X Premium subscription. OpenTweet also provides analytics and scheduling history that X's native tool lacks.

Typefully is great for writers focused on multi-platform posting. OpenTweet is built specifically for X/Twitter with deeper automation: five smart connectors (RSS, GitHub, Stripe, SaaS, API), an evergreen recycling queue, an MCP server for AI agents, and a REST API for developers, features Typefully doesn't offer. OpenTweet starts at $11.99/month vs. Typefully's $12.50/month.

OpenTweet starts at $11.99/month (Pro). Advanced is $29/month with 100 posts/day and up to 3 X accounts. Agency is $49/month with 300 posts/day and up to 10 X accounts. All plans include AI content generation, connectors, MCP server, REST API, and a 7-day free trial.

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. No questions asked, no cancellation fees. Your scheduled posts will continue to publish until the end of your billing period.

We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied with OpenTweet for any reason within the first 7 days of your paid subscription, contact us for a full refund. We want you to be completely happy with the product.
