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

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.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: TWITTERAPIS_KEY (Your twitterapis.com API key. Create one at https://www.twitterapis.com/dashboard. Required: every tool call authenticates with it.), TWITTERAPIS_BASE_URL (Override the API base URL. Defaults to https://api.twitterapis.com. Only set this if you were given a different endpoint.), TWITTERAPIS_TIMEOUT_MS (Per-request timeout in milliseconds. Raise it if you page through large follower lists on a slow link.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

TwitterAPIs — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for TwitterAPIs?
TwitterAPIs 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 @twitterapis/mcp was installed 1 026 times last week.
How do I connect TwitterAPIs?
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 @twitterapis/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use TwitterAPIs?
The npm package @twitterapis/mcp was installed 1 026 times in the last week. Week over week that is +124%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is TwitterAPIs open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 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.
