WEIR

X MCP server

An X (Twitter) MCP server for research, not for posting.

Give your assistant X search, threads, profiles, followers, Lists, Spaces and long-form Articles through one hosted MCP server. Read-only, and it never touches your X account.

5,000 free credits every month · no card needed

How it differs from X's own MCP

X publishes its own MCP tooling, which works through your X account and bills reads at X's pay-per-use API rates. Weir is independent: it reads public data without your account, so it suits research and monitoring, and it is billed per result at Weir's rates.

Your account stays out of it

No X login, no tokens tied to your handle, no risk of an agent acting as you.

The whole public surface

search_x, get_x_thread, get_x_replies, get_x_quotes, get_x_user, get_x_user_followers, get_x_list_posts, get_x_space, get_x_article and more.

Long-form Articles

get_x_article returns an X Article's full body as Markdown, so the assistant reads the piece, not just the link.

Paste a link

Tools accept x.com links as well as ids, so you can paste the post you are looking at.

Add it to Claude Code, then ask

claude mcp add --transport http weir https://api.weirapp.io/mcp

# then, in Claude:
# "Read the replies to https://x.com/... and group the main objections."

Every endpoint and its parameters are in the docs.

Questions

Can it post or reply on X?

No. Every tool is read-only and annotated as such, so clients know it cannot change anything.

Which clients does it work with?

Any MCP client that supports remote servers: Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and others.

How is it billed?

Per result: an X post is 1 credit plus 1 per request, a profile 2. 5,000 credits are free every month.

Is there a REST API as well?

Yes. Every MCP tool is a REST endpoint under https://api.weirapp.io/v1/x, with the same key.
