About x-use

x-use Browser-native AI agents for X (Twitter). Multi-account, MCP-ready, no X API key required. x-use drives a real, stealth-hardened browser instead of the paid X API. It posts, replies, searches, and engages across as many accounts as you configure, writes content with your own LLM, and exposes everything as MCP tools, so Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP clients can run your X presence directly. The X API's pricing tiers put write access out of reach for exactly the people who want to automate a couple of accounts. x-use sidesteps the API entirely: if a logged-in browser can do it, an MCP client can ask for it. And because write actions go through a draft-approval step by default, an agent can prepare work all day while nothing reaches X until a human says yes. x-use is the v2 relaunch of twitter-automation-ai. The repository was renamed; old URLs keep redirecting, and stars, forks, and issues came along intact. [![Forks](https://img.shields.io/github/forks/

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
