ScrapeBadger MCP server
Lets your AI look up Twitter/X profiles, tweets, followers, trends, lists and communities for you.
This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to Twitter/X data through a service called ScrapeBadger. Once it is set up, you can just ask your AI things like who follows an account or what is trending, and it goes and finds the answer. It is handy for anyone who researches people, brands or topics on Twitter without wanting to click around the site all day.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you using what it already knows. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an outside service. This one connects your AI to ScrapeBadger, which fetches Twitter/X data. So when you ask about a Twitter account or a trend, your AI asks this helper, and the helper brings the information back into your chat.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI a question about Twitter/X in normal words. Your AI passes that request to this helper program running quietly in the background. The helper talks to the ScrapeBadger service, which looks up the profile, tweet, follower list, trend or community you asked about. The answer comes back and your AI shows it to you in the chat, often as a tidy list or table. You never have to open Twitter yourself or copy anything by hand.

What it gives back to you
You get back plain answers in the chat: profile details, lists of tweets, follower counts, trending topics, or community and list information. Your AI often formats these as short summaries, bullet lists or small tables so they are easy to read. If something is not found or your key is wrong, you get a short error message explaining what happened.
