Twitter for AI agents
Twitter, now X, is a social network for short public posts, and here an agent posts, reads, and manages content and direct messages for a connected account. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.
What agents do in Twitter.
Get a user's followers
Pull the list of accounts following a user as a read-only check.
Post an update
Publish a new post to the connected account's timeline.
Confirm before deleting a direct message
Check with the user before deleting a direct message, since that removes it for the sender's view permanently.
79 Twitter actions, graded by risk.
Every Twitter action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

Twitter in three steps.
- 01Your users connect TwitterThey sign in to Twitter on Arc0 Connect, under your brand, and approve the access you ask for.
- 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create a list” can wait for the user, and “delete direct message” can be denied outright.
- 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Twitter through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
await arc0.policies.set('twitter', { read: 'allow', write: 'ask', // create_list destructive: 'deny', // delete_dm }) # Claude Code: the same connection, one URL $ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \ https://mcp.arc0.ai/u/u_8f2
How Twitter connects.
Users sign in to Twitter on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Twitter OAuth app, or bring your own so the Twitter consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.
The same Twitter connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →
- AUTH
- OAuth 2.0
- CREDENTIALS
- Per-tenant encrypted vault
- MODEL SEES
- Results only, never credentials
- AUDIT LOG
- Every call, on every plan
Use Twitter from any agent.
Twitter and Arc0, answered.
Can I use Twitter with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. Connect Twitter to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Twitter actions you allow.
How do users connect Twitter?
Users sign in to Twitter on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Twitter OAuth app, or bring your own so the Twitter consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.
Which Twitter actions can my agent take?
79 in total: 33 read, 39 write and 7 destructive, such as “create a list”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.
Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Twitter?
Yes. Actions like “delete direct message” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.
Can my own backend call Twitter too?
Yes. The same Twitter connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
Plug Twitter into your agent.
Your users connect Twitter once, under your brand. Your agent gets 79 actions behind your policies, with every call on the record.
