X (Twitter)

by rafaljanicki

Read and post on X — profiles, followers, timelines, search, trends, tweets, polls, bookmarks — with several tools stating in their own text that they are simulated or mocked.

Social Media Accounts & PostingVerified
Summary
Four tools say in their own descriptions that they are simulated or mocked, which is unusually honest and is the first thing to read here.

It would have been easy to leave those unlabelled and let a caller assume the data was real — a simulated 'followers you know' returns something plausible either way. Marking them means an agent has a chance of not building on fiction, and it tells you something good about the rest of the surface. The other labelling worth having is delete_all_bookmarks announcing itself as destructive and irreversible before saying what it does. Set expectations correctly: this is a mixed surface where most tools hit the real API, several do not, and the API tier decides which of the real ones work at all.

What it is

A broad X client covering user lookup and social graph, tweet reading and posting, engagement, bookmarks, timelines, search and trends.

What you get
  • Users by screen name, by id, or as a full profile, with followers and following lists.
  • Tweets posted with optional media, reply and tags; deleted; read in detail; and created as polls.
  • Engagement covered both directions — favourite and unfavourite, bookmark and remove.
  • Two timelines kept distinct: the algorithmic For You and the chronological Following.
  • search_twitter for queries, get_trends for trending topics, and get_user_mentions for tweets mentioning a user.
  • delete_all_bookmarks opens its own description with DESTRUCTIVE AND IRREVERSIBLE and states it deletes them one by one.
  • Four tools mark themselves as not real: get_user_followers_you_know and get_highlights_tweets are labelled simulated, vote_on_poll is labelled mocked, and get_user_subscriptions notes it uses a substitute.
  • get_bookmarks states it requires Basic API access, so the tier is named rather than discovered.
Requirements

X API credentials, with UV_PYTHON since it launches through uv. Some tools require a specific API access tier, which they name in their own descriptions.

Setup effort

One command plus a key — pip install x-twitter-mcp, then supply credentials
