<strong>Give your AI agents access to Twitter/X data via the Model Context Protocol</strong>
Give your AI agents access to Twitter/X data via the Model Context Protocol. Exposed over MCP by the scrapebadger mcp mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
get_twitter_user_profile — Get a user's profile by username (bio, followers, following, etc.)get_twitter_user_about — Get extended "About" info (account location, username history)search_twitter_users — Search for users by queryget_twitter_followers — Get a user's followersget_twitter_following — Get accounts a user followsget_twitter_tweet — Get a single tweet by IDget_twitter_user_tweets — Get recent tweets from a usersearch_twitter_tweets — Search for tweets (supports Twitter search operators)get_twitter_trends — Get global trending topics (optionally by category)get_twitter_place_trends — Get trends for a specific location (by WOEID)search_twitter_places — Search for Twitter places by nameget_twitter_list_detail — Get details about a Twitter listInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at scrapebadger-mcp on PyPI and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
You will need one environment variable: SCRAPEBADGER_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Scrapebadger MCP's toolset — get_twitter_user_profile, get_twitter_user_about, search_twitter_users and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by scrape-badger; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
