Ayrshare API + MCP vs TwitterAPI.io MCP

Ayrshare API + MCP 77

Instatus page at status.ayrshare.com with API, dashboard, link shortener and 13 per-network components (20). In the 90 days to 4 November 2026 it shows two incidents, both minor, 45 minutes of latency on 11 August that errored a small number of posts, and a 46-minute Pinterest partial outage on 14 August that Ayrshare put down to Pinterest. September, October and November show no notices (20). 300 requests per 5 minutes per user profile and 8 profile deletions a second (15). 429s come with x-ratelimit headers and a 5-minute wait, and 1,000 429s in 24 hours suspends the profile. No Retry-After and no idempotency key for posts, but errors carry retryAvailable, Retry a Post resubmits a failed post, the Retry a Post page says to check that a post hasn't already been published before retrying it, and the 27 October changelog entry says to retry only TikTok in a multi-network post when TikTok is briefly unavailable, since the others may already have published. That is safe-retry guidance without idempotency keys (12). The pricing page claims 99.99 per cent API uptime, and no SLA terms were found behind it (0). REST is GA (10). 20+20+15+12+0+10 = 77.

TwitterAPI.io MCP 40

No status page found (0). No incident history (5). Per-account QPS limits documented by tier (15). 'Hitting the ceiling returns an HTTP 429 (no Retry-After header is sent). Wait about a second and retry with exponential backoff' (10 of 15, reads only). No SLA; the terms disclaim uninterrupted service (0). Not labelled beta (10). 0 + 5 + 15 + 10 + 0 + 10 = 40.

Ayrshare API + MCP 77

Last API change on 2 November 2026, the formatUTC option for Instagram online followers (30). Dozens of dated changelog entries in the 90 days to 4 November, 44 in October alone (20). The changelog moves several times a week and support runs by email and chat (12). Official SDKs exist in Node and Python, both at 1.3.0 since May 2026 per clones on 4 November, and the official Claude Code plugin reached 0.2.2 on 12 October (10). The Node package is MIT with node 18 or later stated. Neither SDK repository has a CI workflow (5). 30+20+12+10+5 = 77.

TwitterAPI.io MCP 40

Registry entry io.twitterapi/mcp-server updated 6 November 2026 (30). No dated changelog (0). Support channel not checked (0 of 15). Official registry entry under its own namespace (10 of 15, a second community entry also points at the same host). No package health read (0). 30 + 0 + 0 + 10 + 0 = 40. Registry presence read from Anchor Terminal's own daily import of the official MCP registry (/api/v1/registry.json, 6 November 2026), not the registry's API.

Ayrshare API + MCP 71

Closed service with published terms, last revised 20 August 2026 (15).

Retention after account deletion is per the 1 October reading (20). Breaking changes and Meta metric retirements are dated in the changelog, with no stated notice period (14). Some subprocessors named, no data locations (8).

TwitterAPI.io MCP 41

The MCP package is MIT on npm; the service is closed under terms from September 2025 that don't name the company, which appears in the footer as Prism Digital, LLC of Newark, Delaware (15). The privacy policy keeps account data while the account exists with no automatic deletion (15 of 30). No deprecation policy (0). Subprocessors not listed in the pages read (5 of 20). 15 + 15 + 0 + 5 = 35.

Ayrshare API + MCP 20

No x402 or other machine payment (0). Plan prices are public, with per-profile rates on Business, but no per-call price (10). No free plan. The pricing page on 4 November lists a 28-day free trial of Launch and no longer says whether a card is needed, while the help centre said on 30 September that it is, so half credit as before (10). A person has to sign up in a browser and link accounts (0). 0+10+10+0 = 20.

TwitterAPI.io MCP 40

No machine payment protocol (0). Per-result prices public (20). Up to $1 in free credits, no card (20). A Google sign-in in a browser gets the key (0). 0 + 20 + 20 + 0 = 40.

Ayrshare API + MCP 26

One account API key as a Bearer header, with a Profile-Key header to act for a sub-profile. No scopes, no OAuth on the hosted MCP and no documented rotation, so close to one all-powerful key (12). No read-only mode and no tool annotations. The official Claude Code plugin's confirmation hook covers 12 write tools only from version 0.2.2 (12 October 2026), and validate_post is a dry run (3, an earlier partial kept). get_comments and get_messages hand comments and DMs from strangers to the agent, and we found no prompt-injection guidance (0). Dashboard 3.0 has post history search and a webhook events tab (7). A security help page claims AES encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 with a post-quantum key exchange, and a DPA exists. No security.txt (404 on 4 November), disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification found (4).

TwitterAPI.io MCP 37

OAuth or a single API key per account (20 of 30). All tools are reads (12 of 20). Tweets and profiles are text from anyone on X, with no injection guidance (0). No audit log (0). No security.txt or programme found (5 of 20). 20 + 12 + 0 + 0 + 5 = 37.

Ayrshare API + MCP 69

Graded by the listed kind, http-api, on response sizing. Get Messages returns pages of 100 with a cursor and limit, analytics take date ranges, quarters and daily parameters, and no field selection was found (15 of 25, an earlier partial kept). The MCP catalogue now lists 33 tools (27 on 1 October) with no toolsets or read-only subset. Get Messages pagination and analytics ranges (15). Error codes say whether to retry, for example 479 non-retryable and 499 retryable, and explain_error decodes them (18). No idempotency key and no readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations. validate_post gives a dry run and retry_post resubmits a failed post (6). Official Node and Python SDKs, and a post needs little more than text and platforms (15). 15+15+18+6+15 = 69.

TwitterAPI.io MCP 78

12 compact tools, about 12 KB (15). Cursor-based paging on followers and search (18 of 20). 429 handling documented (10 of 20). All 12 annotated read-only (20). Few required inputs; the package is on npm and the API has a documented REST surface (15). 15 + 18 + 10 + 20 + 15 = 78.
