Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "twittertools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "twittertools-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TWITTERTOOLS_API_BASE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add twittertools --env TWITTERTOOLS_API_BASE=your-value -- npx -y twittertools-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "twittertools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "twittertools-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TWITTERTOOLS_API_BASE": "your-value"

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "twittertools": {

Common questions

Is TwitterTools MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.2) reached the registry 31 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

twittertools-mcp

Model Context Protocol server for TwitterTools — brings the toolkit to AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, ZCode, …). No login, no tracking, no API keys. Listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.steley/twittertools-mcp.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`get_tweet`	Fetch a public post by URL or ID: text, author, media with direct CDN URLs
`get_thread`	Unroll a thread into its posts, in order (partial results are flagged)
`count_chars`	Measure text against X's real 280-character limit (CJK ×2, links = 23)
`split_thread`	Split long text into numbered, limit-fitting posts
`parse_tweet_url`	URL/ID → ID, author handle, posting time, canonical permalink

get_tweet / get_thread call the stateless twittertools.com API, which resolves public posts through X's free syndication endpoint. The other three run entirely offline. Media is not proxied: tweet results carry the direct pbs.twimg.com / video.twimg.com URLs, which any client can fetch on its own.

The package has zero dependencies: the MCP protocol layer is hand-rolled (line-delimited JSON-RPC over stdio), so the entire supply-chain surface is the couple hundred lines in this directory — verifiable against Socket or any scanner.

Install

# Claude Code

claude mcp add twittertools -- npx -y twittertools-mcp

Or add it to any client that reads an mcpServers config (Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json, Cursor's .cursor/mcp.json, …):

"mcpServers": { "twittertools": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "twittertools-mcp"] } } }

Requires Node 18+.

Tip: npx resolves the latest version from the registry on every launch

(instant once cached, a few seconds the very first time). For zero startup

delay, npm i -g twittertools-mcp once and set "command": "twittertools-mcp".

Self-hosting

Point TWITTERTOOLS_API_BASE at your own instance of server/downloader_server.py to keep lookups entirely on your infrastructure:

{ "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "twittertools-mcp"], "env": { "TWITTERTOOLS_API_BASE": "https://your-instance.example" } }

Privacy

The server is stateless: nothing is stored, no telemetry, no accounts. It talks only to the configured API base. The API itself is rate-limited per IP and keeps only aggregate, anonymous counters — see twittertools.com/privacy.

Development

npm install

cd .. && npx vitest run mcp # unit + stdio protocol tests (offline, mock API)

MIT — same as the main project.
