Install

How do I install the io.github.kaitoInfra/twitterapi-mcp-server server?

io.github.kaitoInfra/twitterapi-mcp-server is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.twitterapi.io/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 12 exposed · ~1,987 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
get_trends ~167

Fetch current trending topics/hashtags for a location. Pass a Yahoo Where-On-Earth ID (woeid). Common: 1=Worldwide, 23424977=USA, 23424975=UK, 23424856=Japan, 23424848=India, 23424881=South Korea. Use woeid=1 for global trends if you don't know a specific location.

NameTypeReqDescription
cursorstringPagination cursor; omit for first page (~20 replies per page).
queryTypestring'Latest' or 'Top' — sort order of replies. Default 'Latest'.
tweetIdstringyesNumeric ID of the tweet to fetch replies for.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_tweet_retweeters ~95

Fetch users who retweeted a specific tweet (the simple 'retweet' action, not quote-tweets — for those use get_tweet_quotes). Returns user profiles with metadata. Paginates via cursor (~100 per page).

NameTypeReqDescription
cursorstringPagination cursor; omit for first page (~100 per page).
tweetIdstringyesNumeric ID of the tweet to fetch retweeters for.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

Use this to analyze who follows an account, build follower audiences, or sample for competitive analysis. For large accounts use pagination; you will not get all followers in one call.

NameTypeReqDescription
cursorstringPagination cursor from previous response's next_cursor. Omit for first page.
pageSizeintegerFollowers per page (default 200, max 200). Each follower includes full profile metadata (name, bio, follower count, etc.).

NameTypeReqDescription
cursorstringPagination cursor; omit for first page.
pageSizeintegerFollowings per page (default 200, max 200). Each includes full profile metadata.
userNamestringyesTwitter/X screen name without @ — fetches accounts this user follows.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_user_info ~101

Fetch basic profile info for a Twitter/X user by their screen name (handle). Returns user ID, display name, bio, follower/following counts, verified status, profile picture, banner, location, website, and account creation date. Use this as the starting point for any user analysis.

userNamestringyesTwitter/X screen name (handle) WITHOUT the leading @ sign. Example: 'elonmusk', not '@elonmusk'.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_user_last_tweets ~296

⚠️ ONLY for 'latest / recent / what's new' queries about a user. DO NOT use for date-range queries (e.g. 'tweets from January 2026', 'tweets last week', 'tweets between X and Y', 'tweets in 2025'). For specific dates / older tweets, use **search_tweets** with query like 'from:elonmusk since:2026-01-01 until:2026-02-01'. Fetch the MOST RECENT tweets posted by a Twitter/X user, sorted by created_at descending (newest first). Provide EITHER userName (screen name, no @) OR userId (numeric). Use userId when known — handles can change. Set includeReplies=true to include the user's reply tweets in addition to top-level tweets. Paginates via cursor (~20 per page).

NameTypeReqDescription
cursorstringPagination cursor; omit for first page.
includeRepliesbooleanInclude the user's reply tweets in addition to top-level tweets. Default false — only top-level tweets.
userIdstringTwitter/X numeric user ID (e.g. '44196397'). Provide EITHER userName OR userId. Prefer userId if known — handles can change.
userNamestringTwitter/X screen name without @ (e.g. 'elonmusk'). Provide EITHER userName OR userId.

No output schema declared.

cursorstringPagination cursor; omit for first page (~20 per page).
sinceTimeintegerUnix timestamp (seconds) lower bound — only mentions after this time. Omit for no lower bound.
untilTimeintegerUnix timestamp (seconds) upper bound. Omit for no upper bound.
userNamestringyesTwitter/X screen name without @ — fetches tweets that mention this user (@userName).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_tweets ~420

🎯 PRIMARY CHOICE for date-range / historical / keyword-based tweet queries. Use this (NOT get_user_last_tweets) whenever user asks about a SPECIFIC TIME RANGE or historical tweets: • 'tweets from January 2026' → query='from:elonmusk since:2026-01-01 until:2026-02-01' • 'tweets between X and Y' → 'from:USER since:X until:Y' • 'tweets last week / last month' → translate to since:/until: dates • 'tweets containing keyword X by user Y' → 'from:Y X' • 'older tweets' / 'archive' / 'in 2025' → use date range, not pagination Date format: YYYY-MM-DD (UTC midnight). 'until:' is exclusive (until:2026-02-01 = up to Jan 31). General: Search Twitter/X for tweets matching a query. Supports the full Twitter advanced search syntax (from:, to:, since:, until:, lang:, filter:, has:, -, OR, etc). Returns ~20 tweets per page in reverse chronological order ('Latest') or by engagement ('Top'). Use this for keyword research, monitoring mentions of a brand/topic, finding tweets in a date range, or any open-ended tweet discovery.

NameTypeReqDescription
cursorstringPagination cursor from a previous response's next_cursor field. Omit for first page. Each page returns ~20 tweets.
