Xtap Down MCP Server

14 X (Twitter) creator tools - tweet download, hashtags, hooks, engagement & ads-revenue calc. This MCP entry surfaces a curated ranking/list from the project README rather than a classic multi-tool integration surface. It still exposes 14 documented tools (including download_tweet, get_x_hashtags, get_best_time_to_post_x) for browsing or selecting items from that list.

People connecting social media tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.

      "args": [
        "-y",
        "xtapdown-mcp"
