Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

                out = subprocess.check_output([path, "--version"], timeout=10, text=True)

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add x-use -- uvx x-use-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "x-use": {

      "args": [
        "x-use-mcp"
      ]

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: X_USE_HOME (Absolute private directory for configuration, cookies, action journals and account state. Keep this stable across MCP client working directories), OPENAI_API_KEY (Optional. Only needed for server-side text generation ('auto' replies, composite draft tools, background automation). Interactive MCP use is keyless because the calling agent writes the text), OPENAI_BASE_URL (Optional. OpenAI-compatible endpoint, for example https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 or http://localhost:11434/v1 for Ollama. Defaults to api.openai.com).

X-Use - X (Twitter) MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for X-Use - X (Twitter) MCP Server?
X-Use - X (Twitter) MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package x-use-mcp was installed 147 times last week.
How do I connect X-Use - X (Twitter) MCP Server?
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 runs locally, so the command pulls x-use-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use X-Use - X (Twitter) MCP Server?
The pypi package x-use-mcp was installed 147 times in the last week. Week over week that is -62%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is X-Use - X (Twitter) MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 180 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
