Shippost Mcp
Let your agent read X timelines, post updates, search conversations, and engage so you can ship launch threads without living in the Twitter UI.
Overview
ShipPost MCP is an MCP server for the Launch phase that lets agents use Twitter/X to read feeds, post, search, and engage.
What is this MCP server?
- Twitter/X read, post, search, and engagement tools exposed for AI agents
- OAuth 2.0 via TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN with optional refresh and client ID
- ShipPost API key unlocks AI-powered features at shippost.ai
- PyPI stdio package shippost-mcp for standard MCP clients
- Server version 0.1.1
- Required secret TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN for authenticated calls
- Stdio transport via PyPI identifier shippost-mcp
What problem does it solve?
Posting and monitoring X during a launch forces constant context switching between your IDE and the Twitter client.
Who is it for?
Indie hackers and micro-SaaS founders who treat X as a primary launch channel and already run MCP-capable agents.
Skip if: Builders who do not use X, brands that require strict compliance review before every post, or teams wanting LinkedIn-only tooling.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After OAuth setup, your agent can run distribution actions on X from MCP tools while you stay in Claude Code or Cursor.
- Agent-driven posts, timeline reads, and search results on X
- Engagement actions callable from your MCP host during launch or grow cycles
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Launch → Distribution is the primary shelf because posting and timeline reads are how solo builders announce ships and build initial reach. Distribution captures outbound tweets, replies, and search-driven engagement tied to release moments rather than long-run analytics dashboards.
How it compares
Social API MCP for agents, not a standalone scheduling SaaS or a copywriting-only skill.
