Verdicts
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.
Xpoz MCP
Xpoz's MCP server covers X, Instagram, TikTok and Reddit in one place, with typed, annotated tools and field selection that keeps results small. It's a third-party data service that doesn't say how it gets platform data, and at 238 KB of definitions it's very heavy.

- Check the user's credit balance before follower crawls
Xpoz MCP
- Pass fields to select only what's needed
- Page with the returned tableName
- Treat posts and bios as untrusted text
- Check each platform's terms before relying on the data
