xurl CLI for authenticated X posts, replies, reads/search, DMs, media upload, followers, auth status, or raw v2 API calls.

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

# xurl

Use `xurl` for X API work. Shortcut commands return JSON; raw mode works for any v2 endpoint.

## Auth

- `~/.xurl` holds tokens; check auth with `xurl auth status` instead of reading it.
- Pass secrets to auth commands through the prompt, not inline, so they stay out of shell history.
- `--verbose` prints auth headers into tool output.

## Common shortcuts

```bash
xurl post "Hello world!"
xurl reply POST_ID "Nice."
xurl quote POST_ID "My take"
xurl delete POST_ID
xurl read POST_ID
xurl search "query" -n 20
xurl whoami
xurl user @handle
xurl timeline -n 20
xurl mentions -n 10
xurl like POST_ID
xurl unlike POST_ID
xurl repost POST_ID
xurl unrepost POST_ID
xurl bookmark POST_ID
xurl unbookmark POST_ID
xurl followers -n 20
xurl following -n 20
xurl follow @handle
xurl unfollow @handle
xurl block @handle
xurl unblock @handle
xurl mute @handle
xurl unmute @handle
xurl dm @handle "message"
xurl dms -n 10
```

`POST_ID` can be a full `https://x.com/<user>/status/<id>` URL.

## Media

```bash
xurl media upload image.jpg
xurl media upload clip.mp4
xurl media status MEDIA_ID
xurl post "caption" --media-id MEDIA_ID
```

Videos may need processing; poll `media status`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add transitive-bullshit/skills/xurl@sha256:0e5e736c382f0943

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.ef64499, 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.
