clix0 0.4.2

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

X from terminal. Built for humans and AI agents. No API keys.

---

Why?

Twitter killed free API access. clix uses cookie-based auth — just log in with your browser, and you're in. Zero API keys, zero OAuth dance.

Three interfaces, one tool: rich terminal output for humans, --json/--yaml/--compact for scripts, and a built-in MCP server for AI agents.

Quick Start

# install
uv pip install clix0

# authenticate (extracts cookies from your browser)
clix auth login

Output Modes

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

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

# token-optimized for AI agents
clix feed --compact

# YAML
clix feed --yaml

# full text (no truncation)
clix feed --full-text

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"
      }
    }
  }
}

38 tools covering all commands: feed, search, trending, tweets, users, bookmarks, lists, DMs, post, delete, like, unlike, retweet, unretweet, bookmark, unbookmark, follow, unfollow, block, unblock, mute, unmute, schedule, download, and more.
