x launches mcp. here's what we get

Cyberpunk operator at monitors displaying X trending topics, bookmarks, and draft article editor ai agents

what it does: lets agents call x api endpoints directly under your own account's permissions

what agents can now do on x:

– full-archive post search
– user search + news search
– look up any user, read their posts/timeline/mentions
– list, add, remove bookmarks + manage bookmark folders
– pull trends by location, get news stories
– draft and publish articles
– post on your behalf, see likers/reposters/quoters

plus a separate docs mcp server to search the x api docs directly from your ai tool

auth runs through a local bridge (xurl mcp) – oauth2, your own dev app, tokens auto-refresh

what you could build with this:

• an agent that monitors trends + auto-drafts articles for review
• a research assistant that pulls full-archive context before you reply to anything
• a competitor/brand-rivalry tracker pulling mentions + sentiment in real time
• a news-to-radio pipeline that turns trending stories into scripted segments
• a personal "x analyst" that summarizes your mentions + timeline every morning

basically: any agent stack can now act on x natively
