Get Started

Install XMCP

Tool Catalog (200+)

🔌

XMCP - Call the X API

A local MCP server that loads the X API OpenAPI spec and turns 200+ operations into callable tools. Create posts, search, look up users, manage lists, and more.

📚

Docs MCP - Search the Docs

A hosted MCP server at docs.x.com/mcp with search_x and get_page_x tools, so your agent can look up endpoints, auth, and code examples without leaving the workflow.

🧭

Agent-Ready Documentation

llms.txt, llms-full.txt, the .md suffix on every page, skill.md, and AGENTS.md give LLM tools structured, machine-readable access to the entire platform.

🔑

Authentication & Limits

OAuth 1.0a user context, OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, and app-only Bearer tokens - plus 15-minute rate-limit windows and the headers to watch.

🛠️

Step-by-Step SOPs

Clone and install XMCP, configure credentials, register your callback, connect Cursor / Windsurf / Claude, and lock down tools with an allow-list.

Quick Reference

The full 200+ tool catalog, every environment variable, troubleshooting for 401/403/429, and the streaming/webhook limitations to plan around.

Two servers, one platform

The X Developer Platform ships two Model Context Protocol servers. They are complementary and can run side by side.

Server	What it does	Where it runs
XMCP	Calls X API endpoints - create posts, search, look up users, manage likes and lists	Local: `http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp`
Docs MCP	Searches and reads the X API documentation	Hosted: `https://docs.x.com/mcp`

Point an MCP-compatible client (Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, or your own agent) at one or both, and your assistant can look up documentation and call the live API.
