X (Twitter) API Gateway Service
This specific utility server enables client applications to communicate with the X platform, specifically allowing for the composition of status updates and the retrieval of platform content via query operations.
Initial Setup Guide
-
Secure credentials by establishing a Developer Account on X and obtaining the requisite application keys from the X Developer Portal
-
Incorporate the subsequent configuration block into your Claude Desktop initialization file:
Windows OS Path: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
macOS Path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{ "mcpServers": { "twitter-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@enescinar/twitter-mcp"], "env": { "API_KEY": "your_api_key_here", "API_SECRET_KEY": "your_api_secret_key_here", "ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_access_token_here", "ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET": "your_access_token_secret_here" } } } }
- Reinitialize the Claude Desktop application.
Setup complete! Claude is now equipped to interface with X through two primary functions:
post_tweet: To disseminate a fresh micro-post.search_tweets: To query the platform's archives.
Operational Demonstrations
Test Claude by issuing requests such as: - "Could you publish a new post stating 'Greetings from Claude!'?" - "Please execute a search for social media discourse pertaining to Claude AI."
Diagnostics and Logging
Troubleshooting logs are accessible at the following locations:
- Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\logs\mcp-server-twitter.log
- macOS: ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp-server-twitter.log
Source Code Contribution
For those interested in modifying or running the code locally:
-
Obtain the source repository: bash git clone https://github.com/EnesCinr/twitter-mcp.git cd twitter-mcp
-
Install requisite packages: bash npm install
-
Compile the project: bash npm run build
-
Initiate execution: bash npm start
Running Evaluation Suites
The evaluation package loads an MCP client that immediately executes the primary TypeScript file, negating the need for rebuilds between test cycles. Environment variables can be injected by prefixing the invocation command. Comprehensive documentation is available here.

WIKIPEDIA: XMLHttpRequest (XHR) represents an Application Programming Interface, structured as a JavaScript object, utilized for transferring Hypertext Transfer Protocol requests from a web browser instance to a designated web server. The methods provided permit client-side applications to dispatch queries to the server post-page load and subsequently receive inbound data. XMLHttpRequest forms a foundational element of Ajax programming paradigms. Before Ajax gained prominence, the primary means of server interaction involved standard hyperlink navigation and form submissions, actions which typically mandated a full page refresh.
== Chronology == The underlying concept for XMLHttpRequest was conceptualized in the year 2000 by software architects associated with Microsoft Outlook. This concept was first materialized within the Internet Explorer 5 browser release (1999). However, the initial interface syntax did not utilize the canonical XMLHttpRequest identifier. Instead, developers employed constructor calls such as ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP") and ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"). As of Internet Explorer 7 (released in 2006), all mainstream browsers officially recognized the XMLHttpRequest identifier. The XMLHttpRequest identifier has since become the established standard across all major browser engines, including Mozilla's Gecko rendering engine (2002), Apple's Safari 1.2 (2004), and Opera 8.0 (2005).
=== Formal Specifications === The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) issued a preliminary Working Draft specification for the XMLHttpRequest object on April 5, 2006. Subsequently, on February 25, 2008, the W3C released the specification for Level 2. Level 2 introduced several enhancements, such as mechanisms to track request progress, provisions for cross-site operations, and the capacity to handle raw byte streams. By the conclusion of 2011, the features defined in Level 2 were integrated back into the core specification. In late 2012, stewardship of the document transitioned to the WHATWG, which now maintains a dynamic specification utilizing Web IDL notation.
== Operational Procedure == Generally, initiating a data request using XMLHttpRequest necessitates adherence to several programmed sequences.
Instantiate an XMLHttpRequest object via its constructor call: Invoke the "open" method to define the communication protocol (e.g., GET/POST), specify the target resource Uniform Resource Identifier, and select between blocking (synchronous) or non-blocking (asynchronous) execution mode: For asynchronous operations, establish an event handler function that will be triggered upon state transitions of the request: Activate the transmission process by calling the "send" method, optionally carrying payload data: Monitor state transitions within the assigned event listener. Upon successful server processing and data reception, the object's status property reverts to state 4, designated as the "done" state. The received data payload is typically accessible via the "responseText" attribute by default. Beyond these fundamental steps, XMLHttpRequest offers extensive control over request transmission parameters and response assimilation logic. Developers can inject proprietary header fields to dictate server behavior, and data can be uploaded concurrently using parameters within the "send" invocation. The incoming stream can be deserialized from JSON format into native JavaScript objects, or processed incrementally as data arrives, circumventing the need to await complete reception. Furthermore, the operation can be terminated prematurely or configured to time out if completion criteria are not met within a preset duration.
== Inter-domain Communications ==
During the nascent stages of the World Wide Web's evolution, limitations were quickly identified regarding the ability to initiate requests across different origin domains, which presented security challenges.
