Xbird

checkra1neth/xbird

Connects to Twitter/X with 30 different operations running from your local machine. The big draw here is x402 micropayment support baked in, which means you can handle payment flows directly through Twitter's payment protocol. Since it runs locally using your own IP rather than proxying through external services, you maintain direct control over rate limits and authentication. Reach for this when you need comprehensive Twitter automation beyond basic posting, whether you're building social media dashboards, content schedulers, or integrating micropayment functionality into Twitter workflows. The stdio transport means it plugs straight into Claude Desktop or any other MCP compatible client.
