What you can do with Twitter / X

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.

Twitter / X API rate limits

300 requests per minute

Varies by endpoint and access level. Post creation: 200 per 15 min (user). Search: 450 per 15 min (app), 180 per 15 min (user). User lookup: 300 per 15 min (app). Timeline: 1500 per 15 min (app). See https://docs.x.com/x-api/rate-limits for details.

These are the limits Twitter / X documents, not ones LiveContext measured. They can change and often depend on your plan, so check the Twitter / X documentation for current values.

Use Twitter / X from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Twitter / X in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Twitter / X operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
