A command-line interface for Twitter/X using cookie-based authentication

Project description

clix

Twitter/X from your terminal. No API keys. No bullshit.

Python 3.11+ PolyForm NC 1.0 PyPI


Why?

Twitter killed free API access. clix uses cookie-based auth — just log in with your browser, and you're in. Works for humans (rich terminal output) and AI agents (structured JSON). Zero API keys, zero OAuth dance.

Quick Start

# install
uv pip install clix0

# authenticate (extracts cookies from your browser)
clix auth

Commands

Command Description
clix feed [--type for-you|following] [--count N] Timeline
clix search <query> [--type top|latest|photos|videos] Search tweets
clix tweet <id> View tweet + thread
clix user <handle> Profile + recent tweets
clix post <text> [--reply-to ID] Post a tweet
clix delete <id> Delete a tweet
clix like <id> / clix unlike <id> Like / unlike
clix retweet <id> / clix unretweet <id> Retweet / undo
clix bookmark <id> / clix unbookmark <id> Bookmark / remove
clix bookmarks List bookmarks
clix auth Auth status / setup
clix config Manage config

Agent Mode

Every command supports --json for structured output. Pipe detection is automatic — non-TTY gets JSON by default.

# explicit
clix feed --json | jq '.tweets[0].text'

# automatic when piped
clix search "LLM" | python process.py

See SKILL.md for AI agent integration docs.

MCP Server

clix ships as an MCP server — any MCP-compatible client can use it.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clix": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["clix0", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Or with explicit auth:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clix": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["clix0", "mcp"],
      "env": {
        "X_AUTH_TOKEN": "your-token",
        "X_CT0": "your-ct0"
      }
    }
  }
}

14 tools: get_feed, search, get_tweet, get_user, list_bookmarks, post_tweet, delete_tweet, like, unlike, retweet, unretweet, bookmark, unbookmark, auth_status
