Xbird
Wire your coding agent to post, search, and interact on X/Twitter from your own IP with optional x402 micropayments for paid API actions.
Overview
io.github.checkra1neth/xbird is a MCP server for the Launch phase that exposes about 30 Twitter/X tools to coding agents over local stdio with optional x402 USDC micropayments.
What is this MCP server?
- 30 MCP tools covering Twitter/X read and write workflows
- Runs locally via stdio so traffic uses your machine IP, not a shared proxy
- x402 micropayments on Base (USDC) for metered tool usage
- npm package xbird-mcp v0.1.4 with stdio transport
- Auth via x.com cookie tokens (auth_token, ct0) from browser DevTools
- 30 tools advertised in server description
- Package version 0.1.4, registry npm, transport stdio
- Three required secret environment variables for auth and wallet
What problem does it solve?
Agents cannot natively post, search, or act on X, so builders copy-paste between the terminal and the browser for every launch or support reply.
Who is it for?
Solo builders who already use X for launches and want Claude Code or Cursor to draft posts, fetch timelines, or run repetitive X tasks from stdio MCP.
Skip if: Teams that need official Twitter API enterprise contracts, fully headless auth without browser cookies, or zero crypto/wallet setup.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can call X operations from the IDE after you configure cookies and wallet env vars, keeping distribution inside the same session as your ship workflow.
- stdio MCP connection with access to the documented ~30 X/Twitter tools
- Agent-callable X workflows from your local machine IP
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Distribution is where solo builders publish launches, threads, and replies on X without leaving the agent workflow. Social distribution on X is a core launch channel; this MCP exposes many X operations as agent-callable tools.
How it compares
X/Twitter MCP integration with micropayments, not a copywriting or SEO agent skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is io.github.checkra1neth/xbird for?
Indie developers and agent users who distribute on X and want thirty MCP tools wired into Claude Code, Cursor, or other stdio MCP clients.
When should I use io.github.checkra1neth/xbird?
Use it during launch and grow when you need agent-driven X actions from your local IP, especially if you accept x402 USDC payments on Base for metered usage.
How do I add io.github.checkra1neth/xbird to my agent?
Install the npm package xbird-mcp, set XBIRD_AUTH_TOKEN, XBIRD_CT0, and XBIRD_PRIVATE_KEY, register the server in your MCP config with stdio transport, then restart the agent.
