# Twitter/X Scraper MCP — tweet search, profile, followers (unofficial)

Unofficial X scraper. Tweet search by query or user, account metadata, followers/following lists — without an X API subscription.

## Install

```
npm i -g twitter-scraper-mcp
```

## Configuration

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "twitter": {
      "command": "twitter-scraper-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## What it adds

Claude searches tweets, retrieves account metadata and posting history, and enumerates followers/following — without paying for the X API. Useful for subject profiling, tracking narrative spread, and identifying account networks.

**Fragility caveat:** This relies on unofficial scraping. X UI changes can break it without warning. For court-admissible or long-running monitoring work, use the paid X API or a dedicated archiving tool like Hoarder or Xquik.
