What the code does

In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

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

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check TwitterTools MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

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

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: TWITTERTOOLS_API_BASE (API base of a self-hosted twittertools instance (default: https://twittertools.com)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

TwitterTools MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for TwitterTools MCP?
TwitterTools MCP 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 npm package twittertools-mcp was installed 1 386 times last week.
How do I connect TwitterTools MCP?
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 twittertools-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use TwitterTools MCP?
The npm package twittertools-mcp was installed 1 386 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is TwitterTools MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Astro and 1 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.
