twitterapi-io-mcp — Claude Code MCP server: docs and install
This MCP server puts TwitterAPI.io endpoint docs, guides, and posts in local context. Use it when an assistant needs API details without live service calls.
claude mcp add twitterapi-io-mcp -- npx -y twitterapi-io-mcpWhat twitterapi-io-mcp does
twitterapi-io-mcp connects Claude Code and the other supported platforms to a local TwitterAPI.io documentation set. It can search the docs, return endpoint details with parameters and response schemas, browse endpoints by category, and open guides on pricing, authentication, limits, and webhooks.
The package covers current v2 endpoints, including write operations with login_cookies and proxy parameters, plus 32 guide pages and 24 blog posts. The content ships with the npm package, so the MCP server itself does not need a TwitterAPI.io key. Node.js 18.18.0+ is required to run it.
Its tools include search_twitterapi_docs, get_twitterapi_endpoint, list_twitterapi_endpoints, get_twitterapi_guide, get_twitterapi_url, get_twitterapi_pricing, and get_twitterapi_auth. It serves documentation rather than forwarding live TwitterAPI.io requests.
What it helps with
- find a TwitterAPI.io endpoint by keyword
- inspect a method’s parameters and response schema
- check API authentication and rate limits
- review pricing and webhook rules
- browse endpoints within a category
Example prompts for the agent
- Find the advanced tweet search endpoint and show its parameters.
- Explain TwitterAPI.io rate limits and authentication requirements.
- List the user endpoints and describe what each one does.
