No status page, changelog, security contact or free API access was found, and each account has a single key with full access.\n\n**X MCP.** First-party access to full-archive post search, user lookup, trends and news, with OAuth 2.0 PKCE scopes and per-resource prices published without a login. Every user must create a paid X developer app, the tool list isn't published, and the documented tools don't create posts.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Blotato\n\n1. Call `blotato_list_accounts` or `GET /v2/users/me/accounts` first, and fetch `pageId` or `boardId` before posting to a Facebook Page, LinkedIn company Page or Pinterest\n2. Keep the `postSubmissionId` and poll the status until `published`, `scheduled` or `failed`. It is a receipt, not proof of publication\n3. After a timeout on a create call, list existing posts before sending again, because there is no idempotency key\n4. Do not generate an API key on a trial account unless the owner accepts the Starter charge\n5. Keep REST bodies and MCP arguments apart. REST nests `post.content` and `post.target`, and the MCP tool takes flat arguments\n\n### X MCP\n\n1. Use the app-only Bearer header for read-only work. Bookmarks, Articles and any tool working in the user's name need the xurl bridge\n2. Set the client's startup timeout to 300 seconds or more, because the bridge holds the handshake until the first browser login ends\n3. On a headless host run `xurl auth oauth2 --headless` first, with CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET exported in that shell\n4. On `client-not-enrolled`, move the app to Pay-per-use and Production in the developer portal\n5. On 429, wait until the Unix time in `x-rate-limit-reset`. No Retry-After header is documented\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Blotato or X MCP?\n\nX MCP scores 55.4 (C) on agent readiness against Blotato's 46.1 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Blotato leads on schema \u0026 documentation and agent ergonomics.\n\n### Do Blotato and X MCP need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Blotato and X MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes. Blotato has a hosted endpoint at https://backend.blotato.com/v2 and X MCP at https://api.x.com/mcp.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/blotato-vs-x-mcp.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/blotato-vs-x-mcp.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"blotato\", \"b\": \"x-mcp\"}`.
