No X developer account
X now hosts an MCP server of its own, billed per read against an X developer account. Manifold needs no X account and bills from the same balance as every other source, but it reads the accounts and posts you name and does not search all of X.

Questions about the X (Twitter) MCP
Is there an official X MCP server?
Yes. X hosts one that calls its API with your developer account and bills each read to it. Manifold is for when you would rather not hold an X developer account: it reads public X through a data provider.
Can it search all of X for a keyword?
No. It reads the accounts and posts you name. To find people talking about a topic, LinkedIn post search and Reddit search are on the same server. LinkedIn MCP
Can my agent post, like or reply?
No. Every tool is read-only. Your agent reads and reports; you decide what to post.
Which clients does it work with?
Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok, OpenCode and any other client that connects to a remote MCP server. Sign in with OAuth, or use an API key from the dashboard for scripts. Setup guides for every client
