Spectre MCP: MCP tool for Hermes Agent

MCP server with 104 tools for X/Twitter automation, usable from Hermes Agent and other MCP clients

What Spectre MCP does

According to the README, Spectre talks to X's internal GraphQL and REST APIs directly, so it needs no browser, no Puppeteer and no official API keys. You add an account by copying the auth_token and ct0 cookies from a logged-in x.com session and running spectre add. The tool set covers search, posting, DMs, lists and communities, with separate documentation that groups every tool by feature, a safety guide for destructive tools and rate limits, and a reference for X query operators and environment variables.

The server is launched through uvx and configured like any MCP server. The README names ~/.hermes/config.yaml among the places to add it, next to claude_desktop_config.json and .cursor/mcp.json, and its integrations guide covers a Hermes skill, Claude, Cursor and Python. A comparison table positions it against XActions, which uses Puppeteer, and twikit, a Python API wrapper.
