by kukapay

Lets your AI look up the past usernames of a Twitter account, so you can spot odd name swaps.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Show username history for @OSINT_Ukraine”, the Twitter Username Changes MCP server connects it to Twitter, and you get back username history.

This is a small helper that lets your AI look up the history of a Twitter username. You give it a handle like @Mormonger, and it tells you what names that account used before. It is handy if you follow crypto projects or news accounts and want to see if a name has changed a lot.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app or service. This one connects your AI to a lookup of Twitter username history, so when you ask about a handle, the AI can go and check the past names for you. You do not need to understand how it works inside; you just ask in normal words.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like "show the username change history for @OSINT_Ukraine". The AI passes that handle to this helper. The helper looks up the account and its past screen names, then sends the list back. Your AI shows it to you in the chat as a short history with dates. If the handle does not exist or has no changes, you get a simple message saying nothing was found.
