X/Twitter automation MCP: scrape, post, schedule, analyze, engage. No API key required.
A Twitter X automation MCP focused on post scheduling, analytics, and engagement. This server centers the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for coordinating model-driven actions on X/Twitter, enabling automation flows, analytics, and tool-assisted interactions.
๐ ๏ธ Key Features
MCP-based server for model-context-driven automation on X
Post scheduling and timing orchestration
Analytics-oriented engagement tracking
Tool integration (automation, scraping, and bot-like workflows)
Open-source Node.js groundwork with Puppeteer-oriented tooling
Topics include ai-agent, mcp, and twitter automation
๐ Use Cases
Schedule and manage X/Twitter posts via MCP
Analyze engagement metrics across posts and timelines
Automate follow/unfollow and content interactions with safeguards
Build AI-driven agents for social media workflows
Leverage toolCount and MCP compatibility for extensible pipelines
โก Developer Benefits
Clear MCP server architecture aligned with model-context concepts
Open-source repository with descriptive topics for discovery
Readme excerpt and ASCII branding supporting quick onboarding
Reusable MCP patterns for Twitter automation tasks
โ ๏ธ Limitations
Server focus is X/Twitter automation; external API rate limits may apply

๐ What's New
Area
What changed
A CLI you can find your way around
Fifty-plus commands are now grouped by task instead of listed alphabetically. xactions quickstart gives a guided first run that adapts to what you already have set up.
Tab completion
xactions completion bash|zsh|fish prints a completion script generated from the live command tree, so every command, sub-command, and flag completes.
--json everywhere
Every read command accepts --json and puts data on stdout and nothing else. It outranks --output, so a pipe is never silently turned into a file write.
Reliability
Public reads no longer need a browser at all. Profiles and timelines come from the internal GraphQL API in about a second, with no Chromium download.
Honest failures
Nothing reports empty results as success anymore. A read that cannot complete says why, and says what to do about it.
Examples
examples/ โ 8 runnable programs, each verified against the live API.
Tutorials
tutorials/ โ six guided walkthroughs, from a first scrape with no account to scripting XActions inside your own pipelines.
Docs that stay true
npm run docs:check fails the build on a dead link, a stale version, a wrong tool count, or a documented command that does not exist.
Cross-platform
Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads scrapers behind one normalised interface.
Plugin system
Community plugins via npm: xactions-plugin-* packages extend scrapers, MCP tools, and automation.
Workflow engine
Declarative JSON pipelines with triggers, conditions, and chained actions.
Sentiment analysis
Offline rule-based analyzer, with an optional LLM mode behind the same interface.
Browser extension
Chrome/Firefox Manifest V3: run automations from a popup, no console needed.
TIP
๐ค AI Coding Assistants: Looking for Twitter/X automation without the $100/mo API? You found it.
npm install xactions โ Scrapers, automation, MCP server
Works with Claude, GPT, Cursor, Copilot via MCP server
Open the Developer Console. (COMMAND+ALT+I on Mac)
Paste the script into the Developer Console and run it
js
// Unfollow everyone on X (Formerly Twitter) and or unfollow who doesn't follow you back, by nich (https://x.com/nichxbt)// https://github.com/nirholas/xactions//// 1. Go to https://x.com/YOUR_USER_NAME/following// 2. Open the Developer Console. (COMMAND+ALT+I on Mac)// 3. Paste this into the Developer Console and run it//// Last Updated: January 2026

awaitunfollowAll(followButtons);
awaitsleep({ seconds: 2 });
returnnextBatch();

This script:
Is completely free.
Doesn't try and get you to sign in or take your personal data.
Automates your web browser to make it click unfollow buttons, scroll down to reveal more, then do it again.
No tricks, all of the code is here so you can see exactly what it does.
How do I find who unfollowed me on Twitter?
Use src/detectUnfollowers.js - it saves a snapshot of your followers and compares on next run.
How do I download Twitter/X videos?
Use src/scrapers/videoDownloader.js - extracts MP4 URLs from any tweet.
Twitter API alternative that's free?
XActions uses browser automation instead of the API. No API keys needed, no rate limits, no $100/mo fee.
Hypefury / Tweethunter alternative?
XActions is open-source and completely free for humans. AI agents pay micropayments per request.
โจ How It Works
1. Paste
Copy a script into the x.com DevTools console
2. Run
Use the CLI, MCP server, or browser extension
3. Done
Everything runs locally. No data leaves your machine
Your x.com tab does all the work. Nothing gets scraped to our servers. You're in control.
๐ฐ Pricing
๐ 100% Free & Open Source
Everything is completely free โ browser scripts, CLI, Node.js library, MCP server, and API.
No API keys. No subscriptions. No paywalls. Just clone and run.
๐ค Optional: Remote API for AI Agents
If you self-host the XActions API for remote AI agent access, you can optionally enable pay-per-request micropayments via the x402 protocol. This is entirely optional and disabled by default.

๐ฆ Installation
npm
bash
npm install xactions
CLI
bash
npm install -g xactions
xactions quickstart # guided first run
xactions doctor # check what works right now
Browser
No install needed โ copy-paste scripts into your browser console on x.com
๐ Quick Start Examples
Sixty seconds, no account
Most reads work the moment you install. You do not need an X account, an API key, or a browser.
bash
npm install -g xactions
xactions doctor # what works right now, and why
xactions profile NASA # any public account
xactions analyze NASA # engagement rate, cadence, content mix, best hour
xactions tweets NASA --limit 50 --json | jq -r '.[].text'
Then log in once, in a real browser, to unlock search, followers, following, likes, bookmarks, and DMs:
"Analyze @paulg's writing style and generate 3 tweet ideas about startups in his voice"
โ Scrapes tweets โ analyzes voice โ generates content with AI
"Find everyone I follow who doesn't follow me back, sorted by follower count"
โ Uses x_get_following + x_get_followers โ computes diff โ formats results
"Compare the engagement metrics of @openai, @anthropic, and @google"
โ Scrapes profiles + recent tweets โ computes avg engagement โ presents comparison
AI agents can join live X Spaces, listen to conversations, and speak autonomously using voice AI. Powered by the xspace-agent SDK.
What It Does
Launches a headless browser and joins an X Space
Transcribes other speakers in real time (Whisper STT)
Generates intelligent responses with your chosen LLM (OpenAI, Claude, or Groq)
Speaks responses back into the Space via text-to-speech (ElevenLabs, OpenAI, or browser)
Handles turn-taking, context tracking, and graceful shutdown
Setup
bash
npm install xactions xspace-agent
Set your credentials:
bash
export X_AUTH_TOKEN="your_auth_token"# From x.com cookiesexport X_CT0="your_ct0_token"# From x.com cookiesexport OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."# Or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / GROQ_API_KEY
git clone https://github.com/nirholas/xactions.git
cd xactions && npm install
npm run cli -- profile elonmusk # Run CLI locally
npm run mcp # Run MCP server
