Installation: Two Paths to Integration

Choose the installation method that best suits your workflow:

1. Streamlined Installation via Smithery

For users of Claude Desktop, Smithery offers a one-click installation experience:

npx -y @smithery/cli install mcp-twikit --client claude

This command automatically configures MCP-Twikit for seamless integration with your Claude environment.

2. Manual Installation: Fine-Grained Control

For advanced users who require greater control over the configuration process, manual installation provides flexibility and customization:

{
    "mcpServer": {
        "command": "uvx",
        "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/adhikasp/mcp-twikit", "mcp-twikit"],
        "env": {
            "TWITTER_USERNAME": "@example",
            "TWITTER_EMAIL": "[email protected]",
            "TWITTER_PASSWORD": "secret",
        }
    }
}

Important Considerations:

• Replace @example, [email protected], and secret with your actual Twitter credentials.
• Ensure you have the necessary dependencies (e.g., uvx) installed in your environment.
