X's MCP server puts your tweets in Claude but makes spam pricey

x launched a hosted model context protocol (mcp) server, enabling ai assistants like claude and cursor to connect directly to the platform using a user's account permissions. the open standard approach removes previous integration hurdles for developers while aligning x with competitors like github and notion. despite fears of increased automated spam, x maintains strict api rules and recently raised publishing costs to $0.20 for links to deter abuse. this move positions x as an information network for ai consumption rather than just a social platform.
