## About

DataWhisker’s X MCP Server connects AI assistants to X API workflows such as reading timeline content and creating posts.

## Key Features

- Bring supported X reading and posting tools into an assistant.
- Use a TypeScript integration with the configured X account.

## Use Cases

Retrieve X data in an agent workflow using the selected provider and credentials.

## Limitations

X API permissions and pricing can change. Check the provider’s current access requirements rather than relying on old pricing tables in the repository.
