Search X (Twitter) posts, pull user profiles, fetch specific tweets, and read reply threads for sentiment, news, and event research. Triggers on 'X', 'Twitter', 'tweets about', 'sentiment on', 'what are people saying about', 'historical tweets', or any request to read public X content.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# X (Twitter) API
Read-only access to X content via five MCP tools. Use for sentiment on tickers, exec announcements, launches, event tracking, and qualitative research alongside SEC/market data.
> **Not for single-post URL lookups.** If the user hands you a specific X post URL and just wants its text or context, use `web_fetch` on the URL — no vault, no auth, no rate limit. Reach for this skill when the task is **search, aggregation, or thread traversal**.
## Auth
Every tool requires a `bearer_token`. Read it once per code block from the vault:
```python
from vault import get
token = get("X_BEARER_TOKEN")
```
If `token` is `None` or empty, the user hasn't added it yet. For the setup walkthrough and per-error fixes, see [TROUBLESHOOTING.md](./TROUBLESHOOTING.md).
## Tools at a glance
The primary use case is **search** — the first two tools are what you'll reach for most.
| Tool | Use for | Page size | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `search_posts` | Posts from the last ~7 days | default 10, max 100 | Default choice. Query ≤512 chars. |
| `search_all_posts` | Posts older than 7 days (back to 2006) | default 10, max 500 | Paid-tier X plan only. Query ≤1024 chars. |

How to install
mdr add ginlix-ai/langalpha/x-api@sha256:4c3966ed0bf2a2aaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.de2d0b4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
