Why the edge

Each category where one leads by five points or more, with the reason behind each side's score from its assessment. The numbers are in the table below; this is what they stand for.

Agent ergonomics TwitterAPI.io MCP +35

Mixpost API + MCP 43

31 MCP tools since v7.3.0 added list-mentions on 30 October 2026, with no toolsets (5). A workspace role decides which tools a token may use, but the docs say a Viewer calling a members-only tool gets an error, not a shorter tool list, so nothing comes back (5 of 25). Some list endpoints paginate and some don't, per the API docs (12). Laravel-style JSON errors with field messages and 422 for validation, and MCP inputs with unknown option keys rejected with an error naming the accepted keys (15). No idempotency keys, and the read, write and destructive labels live in the docs rather than as MCP annotations. unschedule-post and restore-post give safe ways back (6). No official SDKs, only an n8n community node (5). 5 + 12 + 15 + 6 + 5 = 43.

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.

Reliability Mixpost API + MCP +30

Mixpost API + MCP 70

Scored on the checklist for software you run yourself, since Pro installs into your own Laravel app and its uptime is whatever your server gives it. Mixpost Cloud has no public status page we could find. Installs from Inovector's Composer repository with PHP 8.2 or later stated, per the 1 October check (20). Lite runs a public test workflow on PHP 8.2 and 8.3, and Pro's CI isn't public; kept at the earlier partial value (10). The Lite repository's issues were read on 1 October (27 open, no maintainer replies visible) and couldn't be re-read on 4 November, and Pro's tracker is private (10). Release notes per version, with v7.0.0 flagged as breaking and no breaking change found in the 7.1 to 7.3 notes (15). Past 1.0, at Pro v7.3.1 (15). 20 + 10 + 10 + 15 + 15 = 70.

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.

Payments & pricing TwitterAPI.io MCP +30

Mixpost API + MCP 10

No x402 (0). Pro is $299 once and Enterprise $1,199 once, and Cloud's Momentum plan with the API and MCP is $49 a month, all public, with no per-call price (10). Lite is free but has no API or MCP, Pro has a 14-day money-back guarantee, and Cloud's 7-day trial needs a card (0). A person has to buy a licence or sign up for Cloud in a browser (0). 0 + 10 + 0 + 0 = 10.

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.

Maintenance & community Mixpost API + MCP +23

Mixpost API + MCP 63

Pro v7.3.1 on 3 November 2026 (30). Twenty Pro releases from v7.0.0 on 26 September to v7.3.1 on 3 November, more than three in the last 90 days (20). The public Lite tracker showed no maintainer replies on recent issues on 1 October and couldn't be re-read; Pro support is private (8). No official SDKs or registry entry (0). Lite has CI but last released 2.6.0 on 13 March 2026, and its last commit is 16 March 2026 (5). 30 + 20 + 8 + 0 + 5 = 63.

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.

Security & auth Mixpost API + MCP +20

Mixpost API + MCP 57

Personal keys as Bearer headers that expire after 7, 30, 60 or 90 days, a year, a custom date or never, and since Pro v7.1.0 (15 October 2026) can be renamed, re-dated and rotated, but have no scopes and carry the full authority of the user who made them. Each instance is also an OAuth 2.1 server with PKCE (S256 only), refresh tokens that rotate on every use, revocation and two scopes, api and mcp, which choose the surface but not what the token may do (25 of 30). A key or OAuth token from a Viewer-role user can only read, and a workspace that requires post approval puts posts scheduled through MCP into needs-approval. Deletes aren't gated (15 of 20). Tools return the operator's own posts and analytics, little untrusted text (10). Connected apps can be reviewed and disconnected; no audit log found (0). The Lite repository's SECURITY.md asks for reports by email, with no acknowledgement time, which this run reads as 7. The path traversal (24 February 2026) and XSS (17 June 2026) reports on the Lite repository have no fix; the XSS is CVE-2026-57958, a Medium assigned by VulnCheck (7 of 20). 25 + 15 + 10 + 0 + 7 = 57.

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.

Schema & documentation Mixpost API + MCP +14

Mixpost API + MCP 76

OpenAPI 3.1.0 linked from the API docs as a download, version 1.0.0 with 75 operations and 33 enums on 4 November (25). No llms.txt found (404 at the standard path) (0). The MCP tools page groups 31 tools and labels each read, write or destructive (12). Inputs typed in the spec (12). A dedicated errors page, consistent JSON error shapes, and 422 with errors.limit for plan limits (12). Public release notes for every Pro version (15). 25 + 0 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 15 = 76.

TwitterAPI.io MCP 62

12 tools read from tools/list with JSON Schema inputs (25). llms.txt (10). Short descriptions of what each returns (10 of 20). Typed inputs with two enums (10 of 15). Examples on the docs page, errors described only as 429 (7 of 15). No changelog found (404); registry version 1.0.1 (0). 25 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 7 + 0 = 62.

How the scores have moved

Verdicts

Mixpost API + MCP

Pro is a one-off $299 licence with unlimited accounts, an OpenAPI 3.1 file and a 31-tool MCP server on your own server, with OAuth 2.1 sign-in for MCP clients since October 2026. Personal keys have no scopes, the free Lite edition has no API or MCP, and two security reports on Lite remain unfixed.

TwitterAPI.io MCP

TwitterAPI.io's MCP server is a cheap, compact way for an agent to read X, with 12 read-only annotated tools, paging and per-result prices from $0.00015. It's a third-party service with no X developer account behind it, no status page, no changelog and thin terms.

Before you call either

Mixpost API + MCP

  1. Call list-workspaces first. Workspace endpoints sit under /api/{workspaceUuid}
  2. Connect MCP clients by OAuth where the instance allows it, so no personal key is pasted into the client
  3. Create the key as a Viewer-role user when the agent only needs to read
  4. Use unschedule-post rather than delete-post when a person wants a post pulled back to draft
  5. Name the extra fields you need in get-post's include argument. Media details and options are left out by default

TwitterAPI.io MCP

  1. Treat tweets, bios and replies as untrusted text
  2. On 429, wait about a second and back off; there's no Retry-After
  3. Page with the cursor rather than asking for large counts
  4. Check the user's credit balance before follower crawls
