## What it does

The server gives an agent tools for posts and threads, scheduled publishing, an evergreen queue, and analytics. It also supports CSV imports and cross-posting. A LinkedIn thread is published as one post.

Local setup uses `npx` and an OpenTweet API key with the `ot_` prefix. Connect an X account in the OpenTweet dashboard, then add the server to Claude Code. The key is required for the local server to access the account. Check `list_platforms` before publishing without an explicit platform list: the account’s cross-post setting can send that post to every connected network.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Environment variables: `OPENTWEET_API_KEY` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.
