X launches hosted MCP server so AI tools can plug into its API directly
X now offers a hosted MCP server that lets AI tools like Claude and Cursor connect to its API directly, joining GitHub, Slack, and Stripe in the MCP wave.
TL;DR
- X introduced a hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing AI tools to connect directly to its API.
- This eliminates the need for developers to build and host their own MCP servers and manage authentication.
- X also launched a second MCP server providing AI tools direct access to its developer documentation.
- The move aims to reduce spam by leveraging existing API rules and increased API posting costs.
- X joins other platforms like GitHub, Slack, Notion, Stripe, and Salesforce in offering official MCP endpoints.
