Claude creates the tweet and schedules it using opentweet_create_tweet.

Create a thread

"Create a 5-tweet thread about TypeScript migration tips, save as draft"

Claude builds a complete thread using opentweet_create_thread — hook, tips, and closer.

Plan a week of content

"Plan my tweets for next week about AI and startups, 2 per day, casual tone"

Claude uses the Weekly Content Plan prompt to generate and schedule 14 drafts.

Manage evergreen content

"Add my top 3 performing tweets to the evergreen queue with a 14-day cooldown"

Claude lists your posts, picks the best ones, and adds them to auto-recycling with opentweet_add_to_evergreen.

Security

• Desktop Extension: API key stored in OS keychain (macOS Keychain / Windows Credential Manager), never in plaintext
• Write operations (creating, publishing, deleting) require explicit user confirmation in Claude Desktop
• Read operations (analytics, listing tweets) run automatically
• All communication uses HTTPS to the OpenTweet API

Privacy

OpenTweet's privacy policy: opentweet.io/privacy

The MCP server sends your tweets and requests to the OpenTweet API. No data is stored locally beyond the API key. Your X/Twitter credentials are managed by OpenTweet's servers — the MCP server never has direct access to them.

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Description
OPENTWEET_API_KEY	Yes	Your OpenTweet API key (starts with ot_)
OPENTWEET_BASE_URL	No	API base URL (default: https://opentweet.io)
