To use MCP Twitter with Claude, you need to add it to your claude_mcp_config.json file. This will allow Claude to interact with Twitter through the MCP server.

Add the following entry to your claude_mcp_config.json file:

"mcp_twitter": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["mcp_twitter"],
  "env": {
    "TWITTER_AUTH_MODE": "CREDENTIALS",
    "TWITTER_USERNAME": "YOUR_TWITTER_USERNAME",
    "TWITTER_PASSWORD": "YOUR_TWITTER_PASSWORD",
    "TWITTER_EMAIL": "YOUR_TWITTER_EMAIL"
  }
}

Replace the placeholder credentials with your actual Twitter account information. This configuration will launch the MCP Twitter server using npx when Claude needs to interact with Twitter.

Once configured, Claude will be able to use all the Twitter functionalities provided by the MCP server, such as creating posts, retrieving tweets, and more. You can simply ask Claude to perform Twitter actions, and it will utilize the MCP server to execute them.
