What it can do
Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
read_x_postFetches a public X (Twitter) post and returns it as clean Markdown with title, author, date and source link. X Articles (long-form) keep headings, lists, links, quotes and images; for a thread, any post of it returns the author's whole self-thread in order (other people's replies

Common questions
Is Xtracticle safe?
It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (3.2.0) reached the registry 36 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.
What can I use instead?

Getting Started
git clone https://github.com/ahmetdeveci3112-crypto/Xtracticle.git
cd Xtracticle npm install npm run dev
The dev server runs at http://localhost:5173. /api/* is served by the same handler as the Worker (src/shared/api.ts), and every landing page is rendered on the fly — no wrangler needed.
| Script | Description |
|---|---|
npm run dev | Vite dev server with the API |
npm run build | Production build → dist/ (all landing pages, 404, sitemap) |
npm run preview:worker | Build and run the real Worker locally with wrangler dev (SSR status pages, 404s, _headers) |
npm run lint | Type-check the app and the Worker |
Deployment
Cloudflare Workers + Static Assets, deployed automatically on push to main (build: npm run build, deploy: npx wrangler deploy). No environment variables.
wrangler.json:
run_worker_first— only/api/*,/mcp,/video/*and/*/status/*hit the Worker; everything else is served straight from the CDNnot_found_handling: "404-page"— unknown URLs return a real404(no soft-404s)public/_headers— security headers,Link:, download headers for the iOS Shortcut

Heavy export libraries are dynamically imported, so the initial page only loads React + the app.
SEO & AI Discoverability
| Layer | Implementation |
|---|---|
| Intent pages | /x-article-to-pdf, /x-article-to-markdown, /x-thread-to-pdf, /x-article-to-epub, /save-x-articles-to-obsidian, /thread-reader-app-alternative — each with unique, visible HTML content and FAQ |
| Languages | Every page in 7 languages (/, /es/…, /pt/…, /ja/…, /zh/…, /ar/…, /tr/…) + UI in 7 languages; first-visit language banner, remembered choice redirects (never for crawlers) |
| Crawlable content | Content is static HTML outside the React root — no JS needed to index it |
| Structured data | WebApplication, FAQPage (matches visible FAQ), BreadcrumbList |
| i18n | Reciprocal hreflang for every translation group + x-default |
| Share pages | /{user}/status/{id} get post-specific OG/Twitter tags; noindex, follow |
| Sitemap / 404 | Generated at build; real 404 status for unknown URLs |
| AI | /llms.txt, /llms-full.txt, AI crawlers allowed in robots.txt |
API
GET /api/thread/:id → { tweets: Tweet[], count, isThread } # self-thread containing :id
GET /api/tweet/:id → Tweet GET /api/markdown/:id → text/markdown # ?format=markdown|text&thread=0|1&front_matter=0|1 POST /mcp → MCP (Streamable HTTP, stateless), tool read_x_post
Tweet mirrors the FxTwitter status object (text, author, media, quote, article, …). Responses are edge-cached for 5 minutes — please be gentle.
Weekly “Best X Articles”
/best-x-articles is a hand-reviewed weekly selection built from site/curated/*.json (title, author and a one-sentence summary in our own words — never the article text).
npm run curate -- 2026-W41 https://x.com/user/status/123 https://x.com/other/status/456
→ site/curated/2026-w41.json with title/author/lang filled in; write "intro", "topic" and "summary"
npm run build # issues with an empty summary are skipped automatically
The newest issue is shown on /best-x-articles (its /best-x-articles/ page canonicals to the hub until the next issue); older issues stay at /best-x-articles/ .

Notes:
- Landing page copy lives in
site/pages.ts; runnpm run buildto see the generated HTML - Keep
src/shared/*free of DOM/Node-only APIs — it runs in both the Worker and the dev server - Test Worker-only behavior (SSR, 404, headers) with
npm run preview:worker
