xdataapi: X (Twitter) data — Claude Code MCP server
Provides read-only access to public X (Twitter) profiles and search queries. Usage charges deduct credits per returned item without fixed subscriptions.
claude mcp add --transport http xdataapi https://api.xdataapi.io/mcpWhat xdataapi: X (Twitter) data does
This server connects coding agents to public X data through a remote HTTP endpoint at https://api.xdataapi.io/mcp. Built-in tools include get_user, get_user_tweets, search_tweets, get_thread, and get_balance. Queries accept standard search operators recognized by x.com.
Authentication handles OAuth automatically on first launch. For environments without OAuth support, clients pass an x-api-key HTTP header. Stdio-only clients can connect through the mcp-remote bridge package.
All available tools are strictly read-only, meaning the server cannot post updates or modify accounts. Every returned post or profile consumes one credit from a prepaid balance. Empty queries and network errors cost nothing.
What it helps with
- fetch complete conversation threads by tweet ID
- search public posts on X using native query operators
- inspect profile details and follower lists for an account
- track remaining prepaid credits via
get_balance
Example prompts for the agent
- Search for recent posts from user
xdiscussing AI agents. - Fetch the entire reply thread for tweet ID
1234567890. - Check my remaining credit balance in xdataapi.
