2. Set all required API keys in the environment variables
3. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/Dishant27/twitter-mcp.git
4. Install dependencies: npm install
5. Run the server:

• With environment variables:

TWITTER_API_KEY=your_api_key 
TWITTER_API_SECRET=your_api_secret 
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_token 
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=your_access_token_secret 
npm start

• Using a .env file:

# Create a .env file with your X API keys
echo "TWITTER_API_KEY=your_api_key
TWITTER_API_SECRET=your_api_secret
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_token
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=your_access_token_secret" > .env

# Start the server
npm start

6. Use with a MCP client, such as Claude.

Claude Configuration

To use this server with Claude, you’ll need to set up the MCP configuration. Here’s an example of how the configuration structure should look:

{
  "name": "x",
  "display_name": "X",
  "description": "X MCP allows Claude to interact with X (formerly Twitter)",
  "path": "path/to/twitter-mcp/dist/index.js",
  "startup": {
    "env": {
      "TWITTER_API_KEY": "your_api_key",
      "TWITTER_API_SECRET": "your_api_secret",
      "TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_access_token",
      "TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET": "your_access_token_secret"
    }
  },
  "transport": "stdio"
}
