X.com Interact via Tavily

Tavily is configured as an MCP server and provides the interface for X.com content through search indexing.

Prerequisites

• Tavily API key — free at tavily.io
• mcporter — OpenClaw skill for MCP tool calling

Setup Tavily MCP

bash

mcporter config add tavily https://mcp.tavily.com/mcp/?tavilyApiKey=<YOUR_KEY>

Core Operations

Search X.com

bash

# Search for a user's tweets
mcporter call tavily.tavily_search query="from:username keyword" max_results=5

# Search tweets by keyword
mcporter call tavily.tavily_search query="keyword site:x.com" max_results=10

# Search for a specific tweet or thread
mcporter call tavily.tavily_search query="site:x.com username tweet context" max_results=3

Extract Content from Linked URLs

bash

# Extract from a news article or blog linked in a tweet
mcporter call tavily.tavily_extract urls='["https://example.com/article"]'

Deep Research on a Topic

bash

# Full research with Tavily (search + extract combined)
mcporter call tavily.tavily_research query="topic name" search_depth="basic" max_results=5

Notes

• X.com blocks direct extraction (403). Use tavily_search to find tweet content via search index, or ask Z to paste tweet text.
• Tavily search indexes X.com profiles, tweet URLs, and threads.
• Combine Tavily search for finding tweets + Tavily extract for diving into linked articles.
• Rate limit: 20 requests/minute on Tavily free tier.
