• Users — The Users tool exposed by this server
• Dates — The Dates tool exposed by this server
• Engagement — The Engagement tool exposed by this server

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: RAPIDAPI_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

• Node.js v16+ - Claude for Desktop - Free RapidAPI key with access to the "The Old Bird API" (Twitter154) endpoint

Getting it running

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

How it compares

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. X Tools For Claude MCP's toolset — Prerequisites, Users, Dates and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by 0xGval; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Things to watch

• It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
• Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
• Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
