Configuration

Variable	Required	Secret	Description
X_API_KEY	yes	yes	OAuth 1.0a consumer key. developer.x.com -> your project -> your app -> Keys and tokens.
X_API_KEY_SECRET	yes	yes	OAuth 1.0a consumer secret, issued together with X_API_KEY.
X_ACCESS_TOKEN	yes	yes	User access token. Set the app permissions to Read and Write BEFORE generating it: a token keeps the permissions it was created with, and a read-only one fails every write until it is regenerated.
X_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET	yes	yes	User access token secret, issued together with X_ACCESS_TOKEN.
MEDIA_ROOT	yes	—	Absolute path to an existing directory - the only one x_media_upload may read files from. Anything outside it is refused, symlinks included. Checked at startup.
MCP_TRANSPORT	—	—	stdio (client spawns the process) or http (streamable HTTP listener).
MCP_NAME	—	—	Server name reported in the MCP initialize handshake.
MCP_PATH	—	—	HTTP path the MCP endpoint is served on. Used only when MCP_TRANSPORT=http.
SERVER_PORT	—	—	TCP port to listen on. Used only when MCP_TRANSPORT=http.
SERVER_READ_TIMEOUT	—	—	HTTP read timeout as a Go duration. Used only when MCP_TRANSPORT=http.
SERVER_WRITE_TIMEOUT	—	—	HTTP write timeout as a Go duration. Used only when MCP_TRANSPORT=http.
LOG_MODE	—	—	local (text, debug) or prod (JSON, info). Logs go to stderr.
MAX_IDLE_CONNS_PER_HOST	—	—	Idle connections the outbound HTTP client keeps per host.
X_DEBUG	—	—	Log the raw requests sent to the X API. Verbose; the output can contain request details, so keep it off outside debugging.
POSTS_MAX_QUERIES	—	—	Queries accepted in one x_posts_search or x_posts_count call.
POSTS_MAX_USERNAMES	—	—	Usernames accepted in one x_posts_by_user call.
POSTS_MAX_IDS	—	—	Post ids accepted in one x_posts_lookup call. The X API caps this at 100.
POSTS_DEFAULT_RESULTS	—	—	Posts returned per query when the call does not ask for a count. Every post returned is billed.
POSTS_MAX_RESULTS	—	—	Upper bound for posts per query. The X API caps this at 100.
POSTS_DEFAULT_DAYS	—	—	How far back post searches look when the call does not say, in days.
POSTS_MAX_DAYS	—	—	Furthest back a post search may look, in days. Recent search cannot exceed 7.
POSTS_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS	—	—	Timeout for a posts call in milliseconds when the call does not request one.
POSTS_MIN_TIMEOUT_MS	—	—	Lowest timeout a posts call may request, in milliseconds.
POSTS_MAX_TIMEOUT_MS	—	—	Highest timeout a posts call may request, in milliseconds.
USERS_MAX_USERNAMES	—	—	Usernames accepted in one x_users_lookup call. The X API caps this at 100.
USERS_MAX_IDS	—	—	User ids accepted in one x_users_lookup call. The X API caps this at 100.
USERS_DEFAULT_RESULTS	—	—	Users returned per page when the call does not ask for a count.
USERS_MAX_RESULTS	—	—	Upper bound for users per page.
USERS_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS	—	—	Timeout for a users call in milliseconds when the call does not request one.
USERS_MIN_TIMEOUT_MS	—	—	Lowest timeout a users call may request, in milliseconds.
USERS_MAX_TIMEOUT_MS	—	—	Highest timeout a users call may request, in milliseconds.
LISTS_DEFAULT_RESULTS	—	—	Items returned per list page when the call does not ask for a count.
LISTS_MAX_RESULTS	—	—	Upper bound for items per list page. The X API caps this at 100.
LISTS_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS	—	—	Timeout for a lists call in milliseconds when the call does not request one.
LISTS_MIN_TIMEOUT_MS	—	—	Lowest timeout a lists call may request, in milliseconds.
LISTS_MAX_TIMEOUT_MS	—	—	Highest timeout a lists call may request, in milliseconds.
MEDIA_CHUNK_BYTES	—	—	Bytes per upload segment. The X APPEND endpoint caps a segment at 5 MB.
MEDIA_POLL_INTERVAL_MS	—	—	How often the upload status is polled while X transcodes a video, in milliseconds.
MEDIA_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS	—	—	Timeout for a whole upload in milliseconds when the call does not request one.
MEDIA_MIN_TIMEOUT_MS	—	—	Lowest timeout an upload may request, in milliseconds.
MEDIA_MAX_TIMEOUT_MS	—	—	Highest timeout an upload may request, in milliseconds.

For Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop and Windsurf, use the install tabs above.

›Does X (Twitter) require an API key?

Yes. It expects X_API_KEY, X_API_KEY_SECRET, X_ACCESS_TOKEN, X_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET, MEDIA_ROOT, of which 4 are secrets.

›Can I use X (Twitter) as a remote (hosted) MCP server?

No hosted endpoint is published; it runs locally over stdio.
