A hosted gateway that connects Claude to X/Twitter and Reddit without requiring API keys or dealing with rate limits. Exposes twelve read-only tools: search tweets, pull threads, fetch user timelines, search Reddit posts, grab full comment trees, and pull subreddit metadata. Useful when you need live social data for sentiment analysis, trend research, or grounding responses in current discussions without maintaining scraping infrastructure or paying for enterprise API access. Runs over streamable HTTP, free during beta, with token-optimized responses that strip unnecessary JSON bloat. Good fit for research agents, monitoring workflows, or anything that needs to check what people are actually saying right now.

https://superpowers.social/mcp (Streamable HTTP)All ten tools are read-only and idempotent. Eight of them trim the upstream
response to the fields listed below and, when the trim saves enough to be worth
reporting, append a stats line saying how much was stripped. twitter-news and
reddit-get-user-comments are the exceptions: they return the upstream objects
as they arrive, so the field lists below do not describe them and no stats line
is emitted.
| Tool | What it does | Arguments |
|---|---|---|
twitter-search | Search tweets matching a query | query (required), count (default 10), cursor, text_only |
twitter-read | Read a single tweet | tweet (URL or ID, required), text_only |
twitter-thread | Read a full conversation thread | tweet (URL or ID, required), cursor, text_only |
twitter-user-tweets | Recent tweets from one account | handle (required, no @), count (default 20), cursor, text_only |
twitter-news | Trending news on X | count (default 10), category (for-you, news, sports, entertainment, trending) |
Tweet fields, for twitter-search, twitter-read, twitter-thread and
twitter-user-tweets: id, text, createdAt, author, authorName, url,
and replyCount / retweetCount / likeCount when X returns them. Quoted
tweets are nested under quotedTweet. text_only reduces each tweet to
{id, text}. twitter-news returns news items, not tweets, and passes their
fields through unchanged apart from a curation prefix stripped off category.
| Tool | What it does | Arguments |
|---|---|---|
reddit-search | Search posts across Reddit or one subreddit | query (required), subreddit, count (default 10), sort, time_filter, text_only |
reddit-get-post | A post plus its comments | post_id (required), subreddit, comment_limit (default 10) |
reddit-get-posts | Top posts from a subreddit for a time window | subreddit (required), count (default 10), time_filter (default week), text_only |
reddit-get-user-posts | Posts submitted by a user | username (required), count (default 10), sort (default new), time_filter (default all), text_only |
reddit-get-user-comments | Comments by a user | username (required), count (default 10), sort (default new), time_filter (default all) |
Post fields: id, title, author, subreddit, createdUtc, url, and the
post body when there is one. The list tools — reddit-search,
reddit-get-posts, reddit-get-user-posts — truncate that body to a
500-character selftext_preview; reddit-get-post returns the full selftext
and its comments as id, author, body, plus depth where the source gives
one. text_only reduces each post to {id, title}. None of these carry a
Reddit score or comment count — the source does not provide them.
reddit-get-user-comments applies no field filtering — its comment objects come
through as the source returns them.
Authentication is required for every call — an unauthenticated initialize
returns 401.
