Pick Twitter MCP if you prefer its approach (post tweets and search twitter/x from claude or any mcp client using your twitter api keys).

Pick LinkedIn MCP Server if you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option, and you want zero-setup with no API key.

Add Twitter MCP

Install / run

npx -y @enescinar/twitter-mcp

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "twitter-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@enescinar/twitter-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "API_KEY": "<your-api-key>",
        "API_SECRET_KEY": "<your-api-secret-key>",
        "ACCESS_TOKEN": "<your-access-token>",
        "ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET": "<your-access-token-secret>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add LinkedIn MCP Server

Install / run

uvx mcp-server-linkedin@latest

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkedin-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-linkedin@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "UV_HTTP_TIMEOUT": "300"
      }
    }
  }
}

Requires `uv` (the Python package runner). Install it from https://docs.astral.sh/uv/ if `uvx` is not found.
