How do I get started?

You need an X Developer account with API keys. Then, clone the repository, install dependencies, configure your API keys, and run the server.

What can I do with this server?

You can automate your X presence, integrate X functionality into other applications like Claude, manage multiple accounts, and perform advanced searches using the X API.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `TWITTER_API_KEY`, `TWITTER_API_SECRET`, `TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN`, `TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.
