Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Claims read-only, but the code runs commands src/twscrape_twitter_mcp/auth.py:164, [пакет] src/twscrape_twitter_mcp/auth.py:164

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.

twscrape Twitter/X (read-only) — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for twscrape Twitter/X (read-only)?

twscrape Twitter/X (read-only) 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 twscrape-twitter-mcp was installed 142 times last week.

How do I connect twscrape Twitter/X (read-only)?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls twscrape-twitter-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use twscrape Twitter/X (read-only)?

The pypi package twscrape-twitter-mcp was installed 142 times in the last week. Week over week that is -64%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is twscrape Twitter/X (read-only) open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 3 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.
