The Twitter MCP Tool automates common social media tasks with Python, helping you post tweets, fetch recent activity, track username changes, and send direct messages. It streamlines repetitive actions so you can focus on content strategy and engagement.

How to use

You run the Twitter MCP Tool through an MCP client, using the provided stdio configuration to start the local tool. After setting up authentication keys in your environment, you can perform core actions like posting tweets (with or without images), retrieving another user’s recent tweets, tracking username history, and sending direct messages.
