Twitter / X

Search tweets, explore trending topics, and analyze user profiles and engagement.

Setup

Connect the Twitter / X toolkit by configuring your own API key from a supported data provider. This toolkit uses API key authentication — no OAuth login is required.

Prerequisites

Before configuring the Twitter / X toolkit, ensure you have:

Configured an MCP server in your toolforest.io dashboard.
An API key from at least one of the supported providers (see below).

Supported Providers

Provider	Description
X (Official API)	Twitter's official API. Requires a developer account at developer.x.com.
SocialData	Third-party Twitter data provider at socialdata.tools.
TwitterAPI.io	Third-party Twitter data provider at twitterapi.io.

You only need an API key from one provider to get started. You can configure multiple providers for additional flexibility and reliability.

Setup Steps

Step 1: Open Configuration

Navigate to your MCP server panel in the toolforest.io dashboard.
Locate the Twitter / X toolkit.
Click the Configure button.

Step 2: Enter Your API Key(s)

A configuration modal will appear with fields for each supported provider. Enter your API key for at least one provider.

Step 3: Confirmation

After submitting, the toolkit status will change to Connected and you can begin searching tweets and exploring Twitter data immediately.

Managing Your Connection

Reconfigure

To update your API keys, click the ⋮ (three-dot button) and select Reconfigure. You can add, change, or remove provider keys at any time.

Disconnect

To disconnect the toolkit:

Click the Disconnect button in your MCP server panel.
toolforest.io will delete all stored API key credentials.

🔒 Security

Your API keys are encrypted at rest. They are only decrypted when your AI assistant makes a request to the Twitter API on your behalf.
