Previously, developers had to build, host, and authenticate their own MCP servers to access X. The hosted MCP simplifies integration without adding new API capabilities, positioning X as a real-time data network for AI applications. X joins GitHub, Slack, Notion, Stripe, and Salesforce in offering official MCP servers. The announcement comes alongside recent API pricing increases and anti-spam measures, including updated API v2 rules targeting AI-generated spam. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What does X's new hosted MCP server do differently from building your own MCP server for X? X now hosts the Model Context Protocol server itself, so developers no longer need to build, host, and manage authentication for their own MCP server to connect AI tools like Claude or Cursor to X. Users authenticate with their own X account permissions, and the server exposes existing API capabilities such as search, reading posts, and trend analysis without adding new features. _Developers wiring AI agents into social platforms follow integration shifts like this via daily.dev._ ### Which companies besides X offer official MCP servers for AI tools? GitHub, Slack, Notion, Stripe, and Salesforce all provide their own official MCP servers or endpoints, joining X in supporting the Model Context Protocol standard for connecting AI assistants to their platforms. This reflects a broader trend of companies exposing hosted MCP endpoints rather than requiring developers to build custom integrations. _Anyone comparing platform integrations for AI agents can track which vendors ship MCP support via daily.dev._ ### How much does X charge to post links and publish posts through its API? X charges $0.015 to publish a post and $0.20 to post a link through its API, pricing increases introduced to curb vectors of misuse such as spam. These changes came alongside an earlier API v2 update addressing LLM-generated spam, particularly programmatic replies to conversations. _Developers budgeting for X API usage in AI-driven posting tools can watch pricing changes via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [X launches hosted MCP server so AI tools can plug into its API directly](https://daily.dev/posts/x-launches-hosted-mcp-server-so-ai-tools-can-plug-into-its-api-directly-apzmcn3w1) · The Next Web · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#mcp](https://daily.dev/tags/mcp) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/x-now-offers-an-mcp-server-to-make-its-platform-easier-for-ai-tools-to-use-trv67ebvs) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"X now offers an MCP server to make its platform easier for AI tools to use","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/x-now-offers-an-mcp-server-to-make-its-platform-easier-for-ai-tools-to-use-trv67ebvs","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/x-now-offers-an-mcp-server-to-make-its-platform-easier-for-ai-tools-to-use-trv67ebvs"},"datePublished":"2026-06-30T15:12:47.024Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T07:00:17.100Z","description":"X has launched a hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and Grok Build to connect directly to the X API using a...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/9c1b5262d6ab698cdc6d2fecbebda5d9?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/9c1b5262d6ab698cdc6d2fecbebda5d9?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"TechCrunch","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"TechCrunch","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/tc","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tc"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/x-now-offers-an-mcp-server-to-make-its-platform-easier-for-ai-tools-to-use-trv67ebvs","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":1},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai-agents,mcp","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"TechCrunch","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tc"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"X now offers an MCP server to make its platform easier for AI tools to use"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/x-now-offers-an-mcp-server-to-make-its-platform-easier-for-ai-tools-to-use-trv67ebvs#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What does X's new hosted MCP server do differently from building your own MCP server for X?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"X now hosts the Model Context Protocol server itself, so developers no longer need to build, host, and manage authentication for their own MCP server to connect AI tools like Claude or Cursor to X.
