Superpowers.social — MCP server for X/Twitter & Reddit

A hosted MCP server that gives Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any agent runtime live tool-use access to X/Twitter and Reddit. No API keys. No scraping setup. No banned accounts.

Endpoint: https://superpowers.social/mcp (Streamable HTTP)

---

Why

The official APIs are paywalled into oblivion (X starts at $100/mo, Reddit is heavily rate limiting). Direct scraping flags accounts in days. Most agents end up stuck on stale article snippets while the actual conversation happens on X and Reddit.

This server runs the gateway so you don't have to. One URL, twelve tools, schema-validated responses, token-optimized payloads.

Tools

X/Twitter (5)

Tool	What it does
twitter-search	Search tweets by query with engagement metrics
twitter-read	Read a single tweet by URL or ID
twitter-thread	Read a full conversation thread
twitter-user-tweets	Recent tweets from a user
twitter-news	Trending news on X

Reddit (7)

Tool	What it does
reddit-search	Search posts across Reddit
reddit-get-post	Get a post + comments
reddit-get-posts	Get posts from a subreddit
reddit-get-subreddit-info	Subreddit metadata
reddit-get-user-info	Reddit user profile
reddit-get-user-posts	Posts submitted by a user
reddit-get-user-comments	Comments by a user

All tools are read-only, idempotent, and return token-optimized responses (up to 90% smaller than raw API JSON).
