x-api composio mcp twitter dev-tools Original

The X API now charges per use β€” $0.005 per tweet read, meaning 20,000 reads costs $100.

@xBenJamminx forked a CLI Twitter tool originally shared by @frankdegods and connected it through Composio instead β€” their free tier gives you 20,000 calls/month at zero cost.

What You Can Do

  • Search tweets from any time period
  • See likes, impressions, and bookmarks on any post
  • Find every reply to your posts sorted by engagement
  • Track specific accounts’ recent activity
  • Results get cached to save API calls

Composio follows the same playbook as Vercel and Supabase β€” free tier as a developer funnel, revenue from paid tiers. For individual developers, the free tier is more than enough.
