Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant read public X (Twitter) posts, threads and X Articles as clean Markdown through a remote, read-only endpoint.

What it does
A remote MCP server exposing a single tool, read_x_post, over Streamable HTTP at the provider's /mcp endpoint. It converts public X posts, self-threads and X Articles into Markdown, with options for plain text, thread expansion and YAML front-matter. The same service also offers a Markdown HTTP API and web exports to PDF, EPUB, ZIP and text.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to quote, summarize or archive public X content as text rather than scraping the site. It fits research, reading threads in full, and feeding posts into notes or knowledge bases.
Requirements
A remote MCP client that supports Streamable HTTP; no package, runtime, account, API key or environment variable is declared. Network access to the provider's endpoint is required.
Before you install
Read-only and no authentication is declared, so no credentials are requested. Requests go to a third-party service that fetches X content on your behalf, and its responses are edge-cached for five minutes; the provider asks users to be gentle with request volume.

Content

  • 📝 X Articles — full Draft.js conversion: cover, inline images, videos, captions, embedded posts
  • 🧵 Threads from any post — paste the first, a middle or the last post; the whole self-thread is assembled (other people's replies are excluded)
  • 💬 Posts — line breaks, photos, videos and quoted posts
  • 🔗 Flexible input — x.com, twitter.com, mobile, fxtwitter/vxtwitter/fixupx, nitter/xcancel links, /i/web/status/, bare IDs, links inside shared text

Workflow

  • 🔁 URL swap — xtracticle.com/{user}/status/{id} opens a post directly, with rich link previews (Open Graph) when shared
  • 📚 Batch mode — up to 20 links → one ZIP of Markdown files
  • 🔖 Bookmarklet and PWA share target (share from the X app on Android)
  • 🔊 Listen — read aloud with the browser's text-to-speech
  • 📱 iPhone/iPad Shortcut — share a post from the X app straight to Xtracticle (public/shortcuts/)
  • 🤖 MCP server + Markdown API — AI assistants read X posts as Markdown (/mcp, /api/markdown/:id)
  • 📜 History, 🌙 dark mode, 🌍 English, Español, Português, 日本語, 简体中文, العربية, Türkçe (Arabic is right-to-left)
  • 📈 Analytics events — extract, download (format), copy, share, listen, batch_extract, errors — in GA4

Getting Started

bash
git clone https://github.com/ahmetdeveci3112-crypto/Xtracticle.gitcd Xtracticlenpm installnpm run dev

The dev server runs at http://localhost:5173. /api/* is served by the same handler as the Worker (src/shared/api.ts), and every landing page is rendered on the fly — no wrangler needed.

ScriptDescription
npm run devVite dev server with the API
npm run buildProduction build → dist/ (all landing pages, 404, sitemap)
npm run preview:workerBuild and run the real Worker locally with wrangler dev (SSR status pages, 404s, _headers)
npm run lintType-check the app and the Worker

Deployment

Cloudflare Workers + Static Assets, deployed automatically on push to main (build: npm run build, deploy: npx wrangler deploy). No environment variables.

wrangler.json:

  • run_worker_first — only /api/*, /mcp, /video/* and /*/status/* hit the Worker; everything else is served straight from the CDN
  • not_found_handling: "404-page" — unknown URLs return a real 404 (no soft-404s)
  • public/_headers — security headers, Link: </llms.txt>, download headers for the iOS Shortcut

Heavy export libraries are dynamically imported, so the initial page only loads React + the app.

Intent pages/x-article-to-pdf, /x-article-to-markdown, /x-thread-to-pdf, /x-article-to-epub, /save-x-articles-to-obsidian, /thread-reader-app-alternative — each with unique, visible HTML content and FAQ
LanguagesEvery page in 7 languages (/, /es/…, /pt/…, /ja/…, /zh/…, /ar/…, /tr/…) + UI in 7 languages; first-visit language banner, remembered choice redirects (never for crawlers)
Crawlable contentContent is static HTML outside the React root — no JS needed to index it
Structured dataWebApplication, FAQPage (matches visible FAQ), BreadcrumbList
i18nReciprocal hreflang for every translation group + x-default
Share pages/{user}/status/{id} get post-specific OG/Twitter tags; noindex, follow
Sitemap / 404Generated at build; real 404 status for unknown URLs
AI/llms.txt, /llms-full.txt, AI crawlers allowed in robots.txt

API

GET /api/thread/:id  → { tweets: Tweet[], count, isThread }   # self-thread containing :idGET /api/tweet/:id   → TweetGET /api/markdown/:id → text/markdown  # ?format=markdown|text&thread=0|1&front_matter=0|1POST /mcp            → MCP (Streamable HTTP, stateless), tool read_x_post

Tweet mirrors the FxTwitter status object (text, author, media, quote, article, …). Responses are edge-cached for 5 minutes — please be gentle.

Weekly “Best X Articles”

/best-x-articles is a hand-reviewed weekly selection built from site/curated/*.json (title, author and a one-sentence summary in our own words — never the article text).

bash
npm run curate -- 2026-W41 https://x.com/user/status/123 https://x.com/other/status/456# → site/curated/2026-w41.json with title/author/lang filled in; write "intro", "topic" and "summary"npm run build   # issues with an empty summary are skipped automatically

The newest issue is shown on /best-x-articles (its /best-x-articles/<week> page canonicals to the hub until the next issue); older issues stay at /best-x-articles/<week>.

Notes:

  • Landing page copy lives in site/pages.ts; run npm run build to see the generated HTML
  • Keep src/shared/* free of DOM/Node-only APIs — it runs in both the Worker and the dev server
  • Test Worker-only behavior (SSR, 404, headers) with npm run preview:worker
