## What is this?

An MCP server that gives Claude, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, and other AI assistants **instant, offline access** to [TwitterAPI.io](https://twitterapi.io) documentation.

- **67 active API endpoints** with full HTTP method, body/query parameters, cURL examples, and response schemas
- **32 guide pages** covering pricing, authentication, rate limits, webhooks, streaming
- **24 blog posts** with tutorials and use cases
- **All v2 write endpoints** documented with `login_cookies`, `proxy`, and body params
- **All deprecated v1 endpoints removed** — only current v2 endpoints remain
- **Zero API key required** — everything is bundled locally

Unlike other Twitter MCP servers that proxy live API calls (and need your API key), this one ships a complete documentation snapshot. Your AI assistant reads it locally, instantly.

### Recent Changes
- **v1.2.0**: OpenAPI-first scraper rewrite — structured parameters with types, response schemas, eliminates Vercel checkpoint issues
- **v1.1.x**: Added `list_timeline` + `get_user_timeline`, removed 7 deprecated V1 endpoints, security fixes (hono, ajv, express-rate-limit)
- **v1.0.23**: Platform advisory — Twitter disabled `since:/until:` search operators. Use `since_time:UNIX` / `until_time:UNIX` instead
- **v1.0.22**: Added 7 endpoints (`get_space_detail`, `get_tweet_replies_v2`, `get_user_about`, etc.)

See [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) for full history.

## Available tools

| Tool | Description | Best for |
|------|-------------|----------|
| `search_twitterapi_docs` | Full-text search across all docs (fuzzy matching, typo-tolerant) | Finding endpoints, guides, or blog posts by keyword |
| `get_twitterapi_endpoint` | Get full endpoint documentation with params, examples, response schema | Deep dive into a specific API endpoint |
| `list_twitterapi_endpoints` | List endpoints, optionally filtered by category | Browsing what's available in a category |
| `get_twitterapi_guide` | Get guide pages (pricing, auth, rate limits, webhooks, etc.) | Understanding platform rules and setup |
| `get_twitterapi_url` | Fetch content by URL path or page key | When you have a direct link to docs |
| `get_twitterapi_pricing` | Quick pricing overview | Cost questions |
| `get_twitterapi_auth` | Quick authentication guide | Auth setup and API key usage |

## For AI assistants

If you're an AI assistant using this MCP server, here's a quick reference:

| User wants... | Use this tool | Example |
|---------------|---------------|---------|
| Find an endpoint | `search_twitterapi_docs` | `query: "advanced search"` |
| Endpoint details | `get_twitterapi_endpoint` | `endpoint_name: "tweet_advanced_search"` |
| List all endpoints | `list_twitterapi_endpoints` | `category: "user"` (optional) |
| Pricing info | `get_twitterapi_pricing` | No params needed |
| Auth guide | `get_twitterapi_auth` | No params needed |
| Any guide/page | `get_twitterapi_guide` | `guide_name: "qps_limits"` |
| Fetch by URL | `get_twitterapi_url` | `url: "pricing"` |

**Tips:**
- Search is fuzzy and typo-tolerant: `"twet object"` still finds results
- Use `max_results: 5` for focused results
- All endpoints are current v2 — no deprecated endpoints remain

## What can you ask?

Here are real prompts that work well with this MCP server:

- *"What are the rate limits for TwitterAPI.io?"* — triggers `get_twitterapi_guide`
- *"Show me the tweet advanced search endpoint"* — triggers `get_twitterapi_endpoint`
- *"How do I authenticate with the API?"* — triggers `get_twitterapi_auth`
- *"What's the pricing?"* — triggers `get_twitterapi_pricing`
- *"List all user-related endpoints"* — triggers `list_twitterapi_endpoints` with `category: "user"`
- *"How do webhook filter rules work?"* — triggers `search_twitterapi_docs`
- *"What write endpoints need login?"* — triggers `search_twitterapi_docs` with `query: "login_cookies"`
- *"How do I upload media and create a tweet?"* — triggers sequential `get_twitterapi_endpoint` calls

All 67 endpoints by category

| Category | Count | Endpoints |
|----------|-------|-----------|
| **User** | 11 | `get_user_by_username`, `get_user_timeline`, `get_user_last_tweets`, `get_user_followers`, `get_user_followings`, `get_user_mention`, `get_user_verified_followers`, `get_user_about`, `batch_get_user_by_userids`, `check_follow_relationship`, `search_user` |

## Configuration

| Environment Variable | Default | Description |
|---------------------|---------|-------------|
| `TWITTERAPI_MCP_DISK_CACHE` | `1` (on) | Set to `0` to disable disk caching |

## Troubleshooting

**`npx` hangs or fails on first run**

The first run downloads the package from npm. If it hangs, try:
```bash
npx -y twitterapi-io-mcp@latest
```
Or install globally: `npm install -g twitterapi-io-mcp`

**"Node.js version not supported"**

This server requires Node.js 18.18.0 or later. Check your version:
```bash
node --version
```

**`claude mcp add` not recognized**

Make sure Claude Code CLI is installed and up to date:
```bash
claude --version
```

**Server starts but no tools appear**

Restart your MCP client after adding the server config. Most clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor) need a restart to detect new MCP servers.

## How it works

```
┌─────────────┐     MCP (stdio)      ┌──────────────────┐
│   Claude /   │ ◄──────────────────► │ twitterapi-io-mcp│
│  Cursor /    │                      │                  │
│  VS Code     │                      │  Bundled docs    │
└─────────────┘                      │  (67 endpoints)  │
                                     └──────────────────┘
                                       No network needed
```

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Runtime | Node.js 18.18.0+ (ES Modules, no build step) |
| Protocol | MCP via stdio |
| Caching | Hybrid (memory + disk), 24h TTL |
| Search | N-gram tokenization with fuzzy matching |

1. AI assistant calls an MCP tool (search, get endpoint, etc.)
2. Server searches the bundled documentation snapshot
3. Results return instantly with no network requests

## Why I built this

I use [TwitterAPI.io](https://twitterapi.io) daily for my projects. Switching between my editor and their docs site got old fast. So I packaged the entire documentation into an MCP server. Now I ask Claude and get answers without leaving my terminal.

If you work with the Twitter/X API through TwitterAPI.io, this saves you the same context-switching. Install it, forget about it, and just ask.

## Development

```bash
git clone https://github.com/dorukardahan/twitterapi-io-mcp.git
cd twitterapi-io-mcp
npm install
npm test        # Run tests (48 tests)
npm start       # Start server locally
npm run scrape  # Update docs snapshot from twitterapi.io
```

## Not using MCP?

If your AI tool doesn't support MCP (like OpenClaw), use the **skill version** instead — a single markdown file with all 67 active endpoints:

👉 **[twitterapi-io-skill](https://github.com/dorukardahan/twitterapi-io-skill)** — works with OpenClaw, Claude, GPT, Gemini, and any LLM.
