## MCP tools (5)

### `get_tweet` (~114 tokens)

Fetch one public X (Twitter) post by URL or ID: text, author, engagement counts, and media with direct CDN URLs (photos, or MP4 video variants sorted by quality). Use for a specific post the user links or cites — not for searching X, timelines, bookmarks, or DMs. Deleted, protected, or age-restricted posts are not available without an X login.

Input parameters:

- `url_or_id` (string, required): Post URL (x.com or twitter.com), bare numeric ID, or text containing one

### `get_thread` (~94 tokens)

Unroll a public X thread into its posts in order. For a single post, use get_tweet instead. Expensive upstream — call sparingly, and prefer pasting the thread's LAST post, which returns the whole chain. Results may be partial; the response says so when they are.

Input parameters:

- `url_or_id` (string, required): Post URL (x.com or twitter.com), bare numeric ID, or text containing one

### `count_chars` (~56 tokens)

Count text against X's real 280-character limit: CJK and emoji weigh 2, any link weighs exactly 23. Same engine as twittertools.com/tweet-character-counter/.

Input parameters:

- `text` (string, required): The text to measure

### `split_thread` (~84 tokens)

Split long text into numbered posts (1/, 2/, …) that each fit X's 280 weighted-character limit, preferring sentence boundaries and never breaking a URL. Same engine as twittertools.com/tweet-splitter/.

Input parameters:

- `numbering` (boolean): Prefix each post with 'n/ ' (default true)
- `text` (string, required): The text to split

### `parse_tweet_url` (~64 tokens)

Parse a post URL, bare ID, or free text containing an ID: returns the numeric ID, author handle, posting timestamp (decoded from the Snowflake ID), and canonical permalink. Offline.

Input parameters:

- `input` (string, required): URL, ID, or text containing either
