MCP support
It exposes `post_tweet` and `search_tweets` as tools for MCP clients. The setup instructions show a Claude Desktop configuration.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

From the project READMETwitter MCP Server
This MCP server allows Clients to interact with Twitter, enabling posting tweets and searching Twitter.
Quick Start
-
Create a Twitter Developer account and get your API keys from Twitter Developer Portal
-
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": "node",
"args": [
"actual path to your folder\\twitter-mcp\\build\\index.js"
],
"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"
}
}
}
}
- Restart Claude Desktop (Simply closing and reopening the Claude desktop app won’t work — you need to go to the files and click the exit option instead.)
That's it! Claude can now interact with Twitter through two tools:
post_tweet: Post a new tweetsearch_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?"

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
