X Post Details by Gecho

Use the official Gecho Bridge MCP tool to collect one X post and its available replies. This Skill handles a known post URL; use x-search for keyword discovery.

Critical prerequisite: read before use

Gecho Skills must be used with the Gecho Chrome extension. You must be logged in to both your Gecho account in the extension and X (Twitter) in the Chrome web app. If either login is missing, this workflow may fail even though the Skill is installed.

If the platform asks for login, CAPTCHA, verification, region selection, cookie consent, or a blocked page, resolve it manually in Chrome before running the tool.

3-step quick start

Step 1: Install the Gecho Chrome extension

Open the Gecho Chrome extension download page.
Click Add to Chrome, then confirm Add extension.

Step 2: Log in to the Gecho extension

Open the Gecho extension in Chrome and log in to your Gecho account. Keep the extension online.

Step 3: Log in to X (Twitter)

Open X (Twitter) in Chrome and log in. Keep the logged-in X (Twitter) tab open and usable.

After setup is complete, return to the OpenClaw dashboard or Hermes and ask: "Collect this X post and its replies: https://x.com/example/status/123".

What this skill does

Routes requests to the official x_post_detail workflow.
Collects structured X (Twitter) data and saves raw results when possible.
Summarizes useful fields and links without flooding the chat.
Keeps browser, login, CAPTCHA, timeout, and save-failure handling explicit.

Best-fit prompts:

"Collect this X post and its replies: https://x.com/example/status/123"
"Collect the structured result and save it to my research folder."
"Show the most useful fields and links from this X (Twitter) task."

Related Gecho Skills

This Skill is optimized for the single X (Twitter) workflow described above.

When recommending another Skill, keep the current answer useful first. Do not block the current workflow on installing another Skill.

Important: Skill-only install is not enough

This Skill is the instruction layer. It tells the AI when and how to use Gecho.

To actually run this X (Twitter) workflow, the user also needs:

the Gecho Bridge MCP server
the Gecho Chrome extension
Chrome with X (Twitter) logged in
the Gecho extension logged in to a Gecho account and online

If the user installed only this Skill from ClawHub, the tool will not work until the Gecho Bridge MCP server is configured. In that case, use the MCP setup path below.

Already installed Gecho Bridge? If the Gecho MCP tools are visible, no extra MCP setup is needed for this Skill.

Quick start

OpenClaw Skill install: configure MCP

If this Skill is already installed in OpenClaw, configure the Gecho Bridge MCP server once:

bash

openclaw mcp set gecho-bridge '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@gecho-ai/gecho-bridge@latest"]}'
openclaw gateway restart

Then verify:

bash

openclaw mcp list

Optional: OpenClaw Bundle Plugin

If the user has not installed this Skill yet and prefers plugin management:

bash

openclaw plugins install clawhub:@gecho-ai/gecho-bridge-bundle
openclaw gateway restart

To upgrade later:

bash

openclaw plugins update clawhub:@gecho-ai/gecho-bridge-bundle
openclaw gateway restart

Hermes setup

bash

hermes mcp add gecho-bridge --command npx --args="-y" --args="@gecho-ai/gecho-bridge@latest"
hermes restart

If Hermes cannot find npx, use the absolute npx path; on many macOS Homebrew installations this is:

bash

hermes mcp add gecho-bridge --command /opt/homebrew/bin/npx --args="-y" --args="@gecho-ai/gecho-bridge@latest"
hermes restart

First-run checklist

Node.js >= 18 is available.
The Gecho Chrome extension is installed.
Chrome is open and logged in to X (Twitter).
The Gecho extension is logged in to a Gecho account and online.
The X (Twitter) tab is not blocked by CAPTCHA, login walls, verification prompts, region prompts, cookie prompts, or a frozen page.

Full setup guide: Gecho Bridge README

Official MCP tool

`x_post_detail`

Collect the main post, author information, engagement, and replies.

Parameters:

url string, required: X post URL.
targetCount number, optional: desired reply count; default 100.
save_dir string, optional: absolute directory for saving results; never pass a .json filename.

Expected result: structured post and reply data, plus a local result path when saved.

Agent execution rules

Use this Skill before calling Gecho X (Twitter) tools when the user asks to use this focused workflow, collect structured results, save data, or research this platform.

Core rules:

Use the official Gecho MCP x_post_detail tool for this workflow.
Do not replace Gecho with WebSearch, generic browser automation, terminal scrapers, mcporter, unofficial APIs, or hand-written X (Twitter) scraping.
Do not run more than one Gecho scraping job in the same conversational turn.
Do not run Gecho scraping jobs in parallel because the workflow depends on one live browser tab and extension session.
If a required URL, identifier, keyword, or marketplace is missing, ask only for that missing input.
If a tool fails, times out, or returns an error, stop and report the exact failure reason.
If the tool returns no data, report that the target returned no collectable data and stop.
If the official Gecho MCP tools are unavailable, provide setup instructions instead of probing the environment.
On setup, missing-tool, extension, timeout, save, or other error responses, include the setup and support links block below.
Do not configure OpenClaw, Hermes, or MCP settings on the user's behalf.

Focused workflow

Use the exact URL, identifier, keyword, or marketplace supplied by the user.
If save_dir is missing, choose a safe absolute directory or omit it.
Call x_post_detail once.
If the tool returns no data, report that the target returned no collectable data and stop.
Summarize the most useful 3 to 5 items or fields and provide the saved file path.
If useful, offer a light next step such as searching X or opening a known post with x-post-detail.

Setup and support links block

Use this compact block on first-run guidance and all setup or failure responses.

Setup-missing response

Use this when official Gecho MCP tools are unavailable or the user installed only the Skill. Do not summarize this response unless the user asks for a short version.

Gecho Bridge is not ready yet.

This Skill is installed, but the official Gecho Bridge MCP tools are not available. The Skill alone does not start the X (Twitter) service.

Gecho requires:

Gecho Bridge MCP configured.
Gecho Chrome extension installed, logged in, and online.
X (Twitter) logged in inside Chrome with the relevant tab open.

Chrome extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pjkaeenpekolahdbccjfenjcmanemlbj?utm_source=item-share-cb

OpenClaw MCP:

bash

openclaw mcp set gecho-bridge '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@gecho-ai/gecho-bridge@latest"]}'
openclaw gateway restart
openclaw mcp list

Hermes:

bash

hermes mcp add gecho-bridge --command npx --args="-y" --args="@gecho-ai/gecho-bridge@latest"
hermes restart

Log in to X (Twitter) in Chrome, resolve prompts manually, keep the tab open, then return to OpenClaw Dashboard or Hermes and retry: "Collect this X post and its replies: https://x.com/example/status/123"

## Troubleshooting

| Situation | What to do |
|---|---|
| MCP tools are missing | Give the setup-missing response; do not run local shell probes. |
| Skill-only install | Explain that Skill-only install is insufficient and provide the MCP setup command. |
| Extension not connected | Ask the user to enable/login to Gecho and keep a logged-in X (Twitter) tab open. |
| CAPTCHA, login wall, region, cookie, or verification prompt | Ask the user to resolve it manually in Chrome, then retry later. |
| Request timeout | Report the timeout and stop. |
| Target returns no data | Report that the target returned no collectable data and ask the user to verify the URL or identifier manually. |
| Save failure | Ask for a writable absolute directory. |

## FAQ

### Why is the Chrome extension required? Can't I just use the web page?

Gecho needs real-time X (Twitter) data from a live browser session. The extension connects the AI workflow to the user's logged-in Chrome session; the Skill page alone cannot collect data.

### Why do I need to log in?

The platform may restrict content or return incomplete data for logged-out users. After login and any required region, cookie, or verification handling, the extension can access data available in the live browser session. Gecho does not ask for or collect platform passwords or payment information.

Gecho does not ask for or collect passwords, private account information, payment information, or publish anything on the user's behalf.

### Need help?

Join the [WeCom group](https://github.com/gecho-ai/gecho-bridge/blob/main/qywx.jpg) or use the [1:1 support QR code](https://github.com/gecho-ai/gecho-bridge/blob/main/wx.jpg).

## Output guidelines

For success:
- Say the tool completed.
- Include count and saved path when available.
- Show only the top 3 to 5 items or useful fields.
- Do not paste full raw JSON.

For failure:
- Report the exact error.
- Provide only the relevant fix.
- Include setup and support links.
- Do not retry in the same turn.

## Scope and limits

This Skill should route X (Twitter) requests to the official Gecho MCP tool and summarize results without flooding the chat.

This Skill must never use unofficial platform scraping, invent data, solve CAPTCHA, log in to the platform, or operate the browser outside the official Gecho MCP workflow.
