Overview

Build an autonomous agent that connects to Twitter/X, collects social data — mentions, keyword trends, engagement metrics — and generates analytics reports in your workspace.
This example uses @enescinar/twitter-mcp, a community-maintained MCP server — not an official Twitter/X product. Review the package source and permissions before providing your API credentials.

​
Prerequisites

​
Environment Variables

# .env
TWITTER_API_KEY=your-api-key
TWITTER_API_SECRET=your-api-secret
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-access-token
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=your-access-token-secret
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-anthropic-key-here
Get these credentials from the Twitter Developer Portal. Create a project and app, then generate your API keys and access tokens under the “Keys and tokens” tab.

​
Installation

# With uv (recommended)
uv pip install upsonic python-dotenv

# With pip
pip install upsonic python-dotenv

​
Example: Brand Sentiment Report

The agent searches for mentions of a brand or keyword, performs sentiment analysis, and generates a report with CSV data. 
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from upsonic import AutonomousAgent, Task
from upsonic.tools.mcp import MCPHandler

load_dotenv()

twitter_handler = MCPHandler(
    command="npx -y @enescinar/twitter-mcp",
    env={
        "API_KEY": os.getenv("TWITTER_API_KEY"),
        "API_SECRET_KEY": os.getenv("TWITTER_API_SECRET"),
        "ACCESS_TOKEN": os.getenv("TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN"),
        "ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET": os.getenv("TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET")
    },
    timeout_seconds=60
)

agent = AutonomousAgent(
    model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6",
    workspace="./social-reports",
    tools=[twitter_handler]
)

task = Task(
    description="""
    Search Twitter for recent tweets mentioning "upsonic" or "AI agents"
    from the last 7 days. Collect at least 50 tweets.

    For each tweet, classify the sentiment as: positive, neutral, or negative.

    Write the following files:
    - 'tweets.csv' with columns: date, author, text, likes, retweets,
      replies, sentiment
    - 'sentiment_report.md' with:
      * Total tweets analyzed
      * Sentiment distribution (table with counts and percentages)
      * Top 5 most engaging tweets (highest likes + retweets)
      * Common themes in positive mentions
      * Common complaints in negative mentions
      * Key influencers (authors with highest follower counts)
      * Recommendations for engagement strategy
    """
)

Example: Competitor Monitoring Dashboard

The agent tracks multiple competitors and creates a comparative analysis report. 
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from upsonic import AutonomousAgent, Task
from upsonic.tools.mcp import MCPHandler

load_dotenv()

twitter_handler = MCPHandler(
    command="npx -y @enescinar/twitter-mcp",
    env={
        "API_KEY": os.getenv("TWITTER_API_KEY"),
        "API_SECRET_KEY": os.getenv("TWITTER_API_SECRET"),
        "ACCESS_TOKEN": os.getenv("TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN"),
        "ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET": os.getenv("TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET")
    },
    timeout_seconds=60
)

agent = AutonomousAgent(
    model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6",
    workspace="./social-reports",
    tools=[twitter_handler]
)

task = Task(
    description="""
    Monitor Twitter activity for three AI agent frameworks:
    "langchain", "crewai", and "upsonic".

    For each framework, search recent tweets and collect:
    - Tweet volume (number of mentions)
    - Average engagement (likes + retweets per tweet)
    - Overall sentiment

    Write the following files:
    - 'competitor_data.csv' with columns: framework, date, tweet_count,
      avg_likes, avg_retweets, positive_pct, negative_pct
    - 'competitor_report.md' with:
      * Comparison table (volume, engagement, sentiment per framework)
      * Share of voice analysis (% of total mentions)
      * Notable tweets for each framework
      * Trending topics per framework
      * Competitive positioning insights
    """

agent.print_do(task)

Available Tools

Twitter MCP servers typically expose tools including:
ToolDescription
search_tweetsSearch for tweets by keyword or query
post_tweetPost a new tweet
get_user_tweetsGet recent tweets from a user
get_mentionsGet mentions of the authenticated user
reply_to_tweetReply to a specific tweet
get_tweetGet details of a specific tweet

​
Security Notes

  • Use a dedicated Twitter app with read-only permissions for analytics agents.
  • Store all API keys and tokens in .env — never hardcode them.
  • Twitter API has rate limits — set appropriate tool_call_limit to avoid hitting them.
  • Only grant write permissions if the agent needs to post or reply.
