A set of rules for retrieving and analyzing articles published on X, formerly known as Twitter. It requires using a browser-based article tool because these pages need JavaScript to load their content.

Use it when an agent must fetch or analyze an X article or a matching Twitter article URL.

Simple web requests may return empty or incomplete X articles. These rules direct the agent to the method that can render and read them correctly.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00626	$0.00626
Opus 5.5	$0.00250	$0.00250
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00125	$0.00125
Haiku 4.5	$0.00063	$0.00063

Security

Grade A, and why

cursorrules scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Cursor Rules for XMCP

CRITICAL: X/Twitter Article Fetching

When the user asks you to read, fetch, or analyze an X/Twitter article:

ALWAYS use the get_article MCP tool - it uses Playwright to render JavaScript
NEVER use WebFetch, curl, or requests - they will return empty/broken content
X articles require JavaScript rendering - only Playwright works

Correct Pattern

User: "Read this X article: https://x.com/user/status/123"
You: Use mcp__x-twitter__get_article with the URL

Wrong Pattern (DO NOT DO THIS)

User: "Read this X article"
You: WebFetch("https://x.com/...")  # WRONG - will fail
You: requests.get("https://x.com/...")  # WRONG - will fail

Article URLs That Need Playwright

Any URL matching these patterns requires get_article:

https://x.com/*/status/*
https://twitter.com/*/status/*
https://x.com/i/article/*
https://twitter.com/i/article/*

Available MCP Tools

The x-twitter MCP provides these tool categories:

Research (Read-Only)

search_twitter - Search with engagement metrics
search_articles - Find tweets with articles
get_article - Fetch article content (USES PLAYWRIGHT)
get_user_profile, get_user_by_screen_name - User info
get_tweet_details - Tweet info
get_trends - Trending topics

Engagement

favorite_tweet / unfavorite_tweet - Like/unlike
retweet / unretweet - Retweet
bookmark_tweet - Save tweets

Publishing

post_tweet - Post a tweet
create_thread - Post a thread
quote_tweet - Quote tweet
create_poll_tweet - Create poll

Conversations

get_conversation - Get full thread
get_replies - Get replies to a tweet

Permissions

Tools are permission-gated by profile. If a tool fails with "not enabled":

Default profile is researcher (read-only)
Publishing requires creator profile
Social actions require manager profile

When User Mentions Twitter/X

If they want to search: Use search_twitter
If they want to read an article: Use get_article (PLAYWRIGHT)
If they want to see a thread: Use get_conversation
If they want to post: Use post_tweet or create_thread
If they want user info: Use get_user_by_screen_name

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

Choose ordered/reliable vs unreliable per use case deliberately. Set maxRetransmits or maxPacketLifeTime (never both) for partial reliability; leave both unset only when full reliability is actually required. State sync wants reliable; real-time telemetry wants unreliable. (W3C WebRTC — RTCDataChannel /…
