Twist integration
Twist API v3 for asynchronous team communication: list workspaces and channels, create and archive channels, open, update, close and reopen threads, read and post comments, browse conversations and send direct messages, and work through the inbox. Authentication uses an OAuth access token or a personal token sent as a bearer token.
Say what should happen.

What you can do with Twist
Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.
Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use Twist from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex
Connect Twist in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Twist operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.
claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"
[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"{
"mcpServers": {
"livecontext": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}How to connect Twist
- Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
