CarryFeed Overview

CarryFeed MCP server gives MCP-capable agents access to public X/Twitter profile, post, article, and media metadata through the hosted CarryFeed API. It runs as a stdio package installed with npx and preserves the source URL alongside returned context. Reach for it when an agent needs structured public X/Twitter data without browser automation, account login, or direct scraping code. Private, protected, deleted, restricted, and login-only content are outside its scope.

Primary Use Cases for CarryFeed:
  • Resolve a public X/Twitter post into structured text and media metadata
  • Read public profile information for an agent workflow
  • Retrieve media candidates from a public post URL
  • Preserve source URLs when analyzing public X/Twitter content
