X (Twitter) MCP Server

No. X offers its own hosted X MCP at api.x.com/mcp for searching and reading posts and managing bookmarks and Articles. InsightfulPipe is an independent, hosted MCP server that connects to the X API through your own X developer app. InsightfulPipe is not affiliated with X Corp.

X's server is reached through its local xurl bridge or an app-only token, and its writes are bookmarks and Articles, with no tool listed for creating posts. InsightfulPipe is a remote server you add with one URL. It publishes posts, replies and threads, edits recent posts, sends direct messages and manages lists and media, with per-account action controls. Both run on your own X developer app, so X bills the API calls to you.

Yes. Create an app in the X Developer Console, add credit, set its permissions to Read and write and Direct message, and generate an access token. Then paste the Consumer Key, Secret Key, Access Token and Access Token Secret into InsightfulPipe. This connects the X account that owns the app, and X bills every call to that developer account.

Any AI client that supports remote MCP servers. The setup guide on this page covers Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI and Codex. You can also work with the same connected accounts from the terminal with the InsightfulPipe CLI.

Yes. In Claude, add https://x-organic.insightfulmcp.com/ as a custom connector, click Connect and sign in to InsightfulPipe if asked. You can also add InsightfulPipe from the Claude Directory, which connects all of your linked accounts at once.

Yes. Add the server URL as a custom connector in ChatGPT Developer mode, or add InsightfulPipe from the ChatGPT app directory to connect all of your linked accounts. Developer mode availability depends on your ChatGPT plan.

It can read timelines, posts, mentions, replies, reposts and quote posts, search recent posts and count matches, read post and video analytics, followers, following, lists, bookmarks, direct messages, communities, Spaces, trends and news. With Read & Write access it can publish posts, replies and threads with media, edit recent posts, repost, hide replies, send direct messages, manage lists, mutes and blocks, and publish Articles.

Yes, on accounts connected with Read & Write access. It publishes posts, replies and threads, attaches images, GIFs and videos with alt text and subtitles, and edits recent posts where X allows it. Posts go live immediately, so turn off create_post for any account where agents should not publish.

Yes, when your X app has the Read and write and Direct message permission. It reads conversations, sends a message to one user or into an existing conversation, and starts group conversations. Deleting a message stays off until an admin enables it.

You control the risk. You can connect an account as Read-only, and on Read & Write accounts owners, admins and operators choose exactly which actions each account exposes, across read, write and destructive, and your AI is given exactly that set; anything outside it is blocked. The 10 destructive actions, such as deleting a post or a message and undoing a repost, stay off by default. Publishing and sending messages are regular write actions that take effect at once, so turn them off where agents should not post. Each write is sent once and never retried automatically, so a slow response does not publish a post twice.

X bills every call to your developer account at its pay-per-use rates, and in October 2026 X listed $0.005 per post read and $0.015 per post created. Results come 10 at a time and nothing pages automatically, so the assistant fetches more only when you ask, and it can check your remaining credit with get_credit_balance.

Liking posts, following users and creating quote posts are not available, because X removed them from its self-serve API plans, and bookmarks are read-only. Reading likes, followers, quote posts and bookmarks works. Full-archive search and archive counts depend on your X plan. Paid campaigns are covered by the separate X Ads MCP server.

X Organic covers your account's own posts, replies, direct messages, lists and analytics, on your own X developer app. The X Ads MCP server covers campaigns, line items and promoted posts, connects with an X sign-in and needs no developer app. You can connect both.

The X Organic MCP server is included in every InsightfulPipe plan, together with all other MCP servers and the CLI. Plans start at $29.99/month and include a trial. X bills the API calls to your own developer account. See insightfulpipe.com/pricing for current plans.
