🤖X Launches Hosted MCP Server for AI Tools

AI tools now have a direct line to X's API

X has launched a hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for developers to integrate their AI tools directly into the platform's API using user account permissions. Previously, devs had to build and host their own MCP servers. Now, this new service handles authentication and integration work, saving time and effort. The move positions X as an information network with real-time data retrieval capabilities. Key details: no new features but easier access; joins other companies like GitHub, Slack, Notion in offering official endpoints; API pricing updated earlier this year to curb misuse.
