X (Twitter) MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT
Buzzsift is a hosted remote MCP server that lets Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code or Cursor search this year's X (Twitter) posts that name a brand or topic and read the replies under the busiest ones, with likes, date and a link. No X API plan or developer account, nothing to install: add your private address as a custom connector. $1 a search, no subscription.
What it returns
Up to 150 X posts and replies from the past year, most liked first: the text, author, likes, date and a link.
| Tool | find_mentions with platforms: ["x"] (leave it out to search TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, Instagram and X together) |
|---|---|
| Price | 100 points a search ($1); nothing charged if nothing is found. A new account gets 100 points, so the first search costs nothing |
| Also | run_report: a finished report with sentiment shares and linked quotes (1,000 points) |
Ask it like this
"Search X for what people say about Linear's new pricing. Group the complaints and link the posts."
Set it up in Claude
Add it to Claude
On claude.ai or Claude Desktop, open Customize → Connectors (older versions: Settings → Connectors), press Add, then Add custom connector. Name it Buzzsift and paste https://sociallisteningai.com/mcp as the URL; leave the advanced settings empty. Custom connectors work on every Claude plan, Free included (Free allows one). On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first.
Sign in and allow
Press Connect. A Buzzsift page opens: sign in with Google or your email (a new account comes with 100 points, one search) and press Allow. You go back to Claude, connected.
Ask
"What do people complain about with Owala bottles?" Claude calls find_mentions, reads the posts and answers with links; ask for "a full report" to get the finished report.
Set it up in ChatGPT
Open Plugins
On chatgpt.com (web), open Plugins in the sidebar, press the + button and choose "Add custom MCP server". Tested on a Plus account on November 14, 2026; on Business and Enterprise an admin may have to allow custom servers first.
Add the server
Name it Buzzsift, paste https://sociallisteningai.com/mcp as the Server URL, set Authentication to OAuth, tick "I understand and want to continue" and press "Create as a plugin", then Connect: sign in to Buzzsift and press Allow.
Use it in a chat
In a chat, type @ and pick Buzzsift, then ask about a brand. Searches and reports spend points, so ChatGPT asks before a full report.
Claude Code, Cursor and others
| Claude Code | In a terminal: claude mcp add --transport http buzzsift https://sociallisteningai.com/mcp, then /mcp in Claude Code to sign in. |
|---|---|
| Cursor | Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server, or in ~/.cursor/mcp.json: {"mcpServers": {"buzzsift": {"url": "https://sociallisteningai.com/mcp"}}}; Cursor opens the sign-in page. |
| Other MCP clients | Any client that connects to a remote MCP server over Streamable HTTP with OAuth: use https://sociallisteningai.com/mcp. A client without OAuth can use a private address from your account page instead (it carries the key; no sign-in). |
Questions
Do I need an X API key?
No. It reads public posts and replies; there's no X developer account or paid API tier to set up.
How is it different from the open-source Twitter MCP servers?
Most of those post and read with your own X API keys, which cost money for search. This one only reads, is hosted, and charges per search: paste an address and it works in Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Cursor.
Can it post or reply?
No. It only reads public posts and replies.
