How to Set Up and Use X (Twitter) Scraper
X Twitter Scraper is a real-time X (Twitter) data platform delivered as an MCP server, providing AI agents with access to over 120 REST API endpoints through just 2 MCP tools. It covers tweet search, user profile lookups, bulk follower and engagement extraction, timeline analysis, account monitoring, and write actions such as posting tweets, liking, and following — all authenticated through the Xquik dashboard rather than raw API keys. Researchers, marketers, and developers use it to automate social media intelligence and engagement workflows directly from their AI assistant.

Insufficient credits error
Log into your Xquik dashboard and top up your credit balance. Bulk extraction operations (followers, retweets, likes) consume more credits than simple lookups.
Write actions (tweet, like, follow) failing
Write actions are confirmation-gated. Ensure your MCP client supports interactive confirmation dialogs. Also verify that your Xquik account has write permissions enabled in the dashboard.
npx command not found or skill not installing
Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed and npx is on your PATH. Try installing the skills CLI globally first with: npm install -g skills, then re-run the add command.
