cheapxapi — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can cheapxapi do?

It exposes 31 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: x_article, x_community_info, x_community_members, x_community_moderators, x_community_search_tweets, x_community_tweets and 25 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is cheapxapi mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around user, tweet and community. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is cheapxapi working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 83 of 83 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 525 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect cheapxapi?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does cheapxapi need an API key?

No. cheapxapi completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 31 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is cheapxapi?

It answers our handshake in 525 ms on average, which is faster than 22% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
