Just talk to your AI assistant. It handles the rest.

Write 3 tweets about the benefits of TypeScript and schedule them for this week

I'll create 3 TypeScript tweets and schedule them across the week. 1. "TypeScript isn't just types — it's documentation that never gets stale. Your IDE becomes a pair programmer that actually reads the codebase." → Tuesday 9:00 AM 2. "Hot take: TypeScript's biggest benefit isn't catching bugs. It's making refactoring fearless. Rename a property and watch every file update." → Thursday 12:30 PM 3. "Still writing JavaScript in 2026? TypeScript has 92% satisfaction on the last dev survey. The migration cost is real — but so are the 3am prod bugs you'll never see again." → Saturday 10:00 AM All 3 tweets created and scheduled!

How's my posting streak looking?

Your current streak: 12 days! Longest ever: 23 days. This week: 8 posts (vs 5 last week — up 60%) Best category: Tech (42% of posts) Best posting hour: 9:00 AM Keep it going — you're 11 days from beating your record.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Claude post tweets?

Yes. With the OpenTweet MCP server installed, Claude can create, schedule, and publish tweets directly to X/Twitter. You can also create threads, upload media, and check analytics — all through natural conversation.

What is an MCP server?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and services. An MCP server for Twitter gives your AI assistant the ability to manage your Twitter/X account — schedule tweets, check analytics, create content — through conversation instead of clicking through a UI.

How do I set up the OpenTweet MCP server?

Three steps: 1) Get an API key from your OpenTweet developer dashboard, 2) Add the MCP server config to your AI client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.), 3) Start chatting. Setup takes about 2 minutes.

Do I need a Twitter developer account?

No. OpenTweet handles the X/Twitter API connection for you. You just need an OpenTweet account with a connected X account and an API key.

Which AI assistants are supported?

Any MCP-compatible client works: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, and more. The MCP standard is open, so new clients are added regularly.

Is the MCP server free?

The MCP server package is free and open-source. You need an OpenTweet subscription ($11.99/month, 7-day free trial) to get an API key. This includes AI tweet generation, scheduling, analytics, connectors, and all features.

What can I do with it?

Create and schedule tweets, build threads, upload media, batch schedule up to 50 posts, check posting analytics and streaks, view follower growth, find best posting times, and manage your entire content calendar — all by chatting with your AI assistant.

How is this different from other Twitter MCP servers?

Most Twitter MCP servers are thin wrappers around the raw Twitter API. OpenTweet's MCP server gives you scheduling, analytics, streak tracking, content management, and AI generation — a full content management layer, not just API access.

Manage Twitter from Your AI Assistant
