MCP support
The MCP server exposes the XFlux read API through tools for profiles, search, timelines, tweets, monitors, and Smart Money data. It connects to MCP clients using the XFLUX_API_KEY environment variable.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Details
From the project READMEXFlux
Read-only X/Twitter API for agents and apps: profiles, search, timelines, account monitors with signed webhooks, and Smart Money. Not for posting.
Site: xfluxapi.com · MCP: xfluxapi.com/mcp · Agents: llms.txt
Free tier: 1,000 calls/month, 1 monitor, no credit card. Paid plans add signed HTTP webhooks and higher quotas.
What it does
- Read API — public profiles, timelines, single tweets, and search. Bearer key, JSON.
- Monitors — watch @handles on a schedule. New tweets are delivered with a signed webhook on paid plans. Create monitors in the Dashboard, not by posting to the API.
- Smart Money — ranked KOL accounts and recent calls (read-only).
- MCP server — the same read API inside Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients.
This service does not post tweets, send DMs, or require official X API approval.

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.
