How to connect X to Claude
- 1
Add the Scorper connector in Claude
The Claude desktop, web and iOS apps cannot run terminal commands, so they connect through Scorper's remote MCP server instead. In Claude, open Settings, Connectors, add a custom connector with the URL below and sign in with your Scorper email when prompted. That is the whole setup. It is a standard OAuth-protected MCP server, so the same URL works in any MCP client that supports OAuth.

Attach the media and say where it goes
post this on x: shipping v2 today. thread the changelog underneathAttach the photo or video to the chat. Claude proposes a caption, reads the post back and publishes to X after you confirm, or schedules it if you give a time.
What you can publish to X from Claude
Text posts, image posts and video posts to a connected X (Twitter) account.
X is the platform developers already post to from the terminal, which makes it the natural first connection for a build-in-public workflow. A prompt like "when I say a release shipped, post a one-liner to x and a longer version to linkedin" turns your AI into the posting step of your release process. X's 280-character limit is enforced on the standard tier, so your AI trims or threads accordingly and reads the result back before posting.
X's own rules, which your AI works within
| Rule | X |
|---|---|
| Length | 280 characters on standard accounts; longer posts need X Premium. |
| Images | Up to 4 images per post; JPEG, PNG, GIF; up to 5 MB each. |
| Video | MP4, up to 2 minutes 20 seconds on standard accounts, up to 512 MB. |
| Links | Every link counts as 23 characters regardless of length. |
Prompts that work in the Claude apps
Scheduling: “schedule this for 9am monday on x”. The calendar: “what's going out this week?”. Moving things: “move friday's post to saturday”. Everything you schedule from Claude also shows in the dashboard calendar.
Something only Claude users should know
The app connector and the terminal install share one account. Schedule something from the Claude iOS app on the train and it appears in the dashboard calendar and in Claude Code at your desk. Media you want to post from the app is attached to the chat rather than referenced by file path.

Honest limits
- X publishing goes through the official X API, so X's rules above apply. Scorper does not work around them.
- The AI-agent connection is on every plan. Pro posts to Instagram only. Max ($25 a month), Studio and Agency post to every social.
- The Claude app connector needs a Claude plan that supports custom connectors.
- Some things are easier in the dashboard than in chat: bulk-editing a month of scheduled posts, for example. Both views share one calendar.
Frequently asked questions
- Can Claude post to X on its own?
- Not without a connection. Claude can write a caption but has no permission to publish. Scorper is that permission: one connector URL links the Claude apps to your account, then Claude can publish and schedule to X through the official API.
- Can the AI post a thread on X?
- Ask for one: "post this as a thread". Your AI splits the text into 280-character posts, shows you the sequence, and publishes it after you confirm.
- Does this need X Premium or a paid X API plan?
- No. You connect your own X account through the approval page; Scorper handles the API on its side. Longer-than-280-character posts do need X Premium on the account itself.
- Does this work in the Claude iPhone app?
- Yes. Add the connector once in Claude (it syncs across your Claude devices), then post from the iOS app by attaching the photo or video to the chat and saying where it should go.
- Will it post without asking me?
- No. Claude reads the exact post back (platform, media, caption) and publishes only after you confirm. Scheduled posts are shown before they are queued.
- What does posting to X from Claude cost?
- The AI-agent connection is included in Scorper Max ($25 a month, one brand, all five platforms) and Studio ($55 a month, three brands). Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, card needed to start.
