Credentials
X API bearer tokenbearerGet token ↗

Create an app in the X Developer Console and use the quickstart in Make your first request to obtain API credentials. The X API v2 OpenAPI defines a BearerToken security scheme, and X's hosted MCP announcement says the bridge injects a fresh Bearer token after OAuth login. For MCP, the easiest path is to create an app with OAuth 2.0 enabled in the console, register redirect URI http://localhost:8080/callback, then authenticate through xurl as described in Announcing the hosted X MCP.

X OAuth app (client ID and client secret)oauth2Set up OAuth ↗

Create an app in the X Developer Console. For the hosted MCP flow, X documents creating an app with OAuth 2.0 enabled, registering redirect URI http://localhost:8080/callback (or setting REDIRECT_URI), and placing CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET in the MCP client config before running xurl mcp https://api.x.com/mcp as described in Announcing the hosted X MCP. On first run, xurl opens a browser for one-time OAuth login and caches/refreshes the token.
