How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security92
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token. View diagnostics → Pass
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- The authorisation server supports Client ID Metadata Documents, the current MCP client-registration mechanism. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability72
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2047 tokens (~170/item across 12 items; 12 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 12 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 13 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail

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 →

get_user_last_tweets Get User's Recent 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).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cursor | string | – | Pagination cursor; omit for first page. |
| includeReplies | boolean | – | Include the user's reply tweets in addition to top-level tweets. Default false — only top-level tweets. |

| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cursor | string | – | Pagination cursor; omit for first page (~20 per page). |
| sinceTime | integer | – | Unix timestamp (seconds) lower bound — only mentions after this time. Omit for no lower bound. |
| untilTime | integer | – | Unix timestamp (seconds) upper bound. Omit for no upper bound. |
| userName | string | yes | Twitter/X screen name without @ — fetches tweets that mention this user (@userName). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_tweets 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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cursor | string | – | Pagination cursor from a previous response's next_cursor field. Omit for first page. Each page returns ~20 tweets. |
| query | string | yes | Twitter advanced search query string. Supports operators: from:USER, to:USER, since:YYYY-MM-DD, until:YYYY-MM-DD, lang:en, filter:replies, -filter:retweets, has:images, etc. Example: 'from:elonmusk s… |
| queryType | string | yes | 'Latest' returns most recent tweets first; 'Top' returns highest-engagement tweets first. Default to 'Latest' for time-sensitive queries. |

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.
