Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ElizaOS, etc.):

{  "mcpServers": {    "twitter-scraper": {      "url": "https://twitter-scraper.api.klymax402.com/mcp"    }  }}

Quickstart -- HTTP (x402)

curl -X POST "https://twitter-scraper.api.klymax402.com/api/profile" \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -d '{"username":"..."}'# -> 402 Payment Required, with an x402 payment challenge in the response body
