This MCP server allows Clients to interact with Twitter, enabling posting tweets and searching Twitter.

Quick Start

  1. Create a Twitter Developer account and get your API keys from Twitter Developer Portal

  2. Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:

Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "twitter-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@enescinar/twitter-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "API_KEY": "your_api_key_here",
        "API_SECRET_KEY": "your_api_secret_key_here",
        "ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_access_token_here",
        "ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET": "your_access_token_secret_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Restart Claude Desktop

That's it! Claude can now interact with Twitter through two tools:

  • post_tweet: Post a new tweet
  • search_tweets: Search for tweets

Example Usage

Try asking Claude:

  • "Can you post a tweet saying 'Hello from Claude!'"
  • "Can you search for tweets about Claude AI?"

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications, providing a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

What are MCP Servers?

MCP Servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol. They act as bridges between LLMs like Claude and various data sources or services, allowing secure access to files, databases, APIs, and other resources.

How do MCP Servers work?

MCP Servers follow a client-server architecture where a host application (like Claude Desktop) connects to multiple servers. Each server provides specific functionality through standardized endpoints and protocols, enabling Claude to access data and perform actions through the standardized protocol.

Are MCP Servers secure?

Yes, MCP Servers are designed with security in mind. They run locally with explicit configuration and permissions, require user approval for actions, and include built-in security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy.
