Xbird Overview

checkra1neth/xbird MCP server exposes Twitter/X capabilities to AI agents through a local MCP process. It provides 247 tools for reading, searching, posting, engagement actions, and media uploads, while using browser cookies instead of an X developer account, API key, or OAuth. MCP requests run locally and use x402 payments for the server-side payment check, with Twitter API calls made from the user's machine. Reach for it when an MCP-compatible client needs to operate an authenticated Twitter/X account.
