🐦 Twitter/X MCP Server

Free Twitter/X integration for AI agents — no API key needed. Read tweets, post, search, trending — all via Playwright browser automation.

What

Twitter/X MCP Server provides a complete integration layer between AI agents and Twitter/X using Playwright browser automation. Unlike traditional Twitter API approaches that require API keys and face rate limits, this server leverages browser automation to access Twitter functionality without API restrictions. It offers tools for reading tweets, posting content, searching, trending topics, and more — all accessible through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
