## Usage Examples
* "Tweet 'Just learned how to tweet through AI - mind blown! 🤖✨'"
* "Create a thread about the history of pizza"
* "Show me my draft tweets"
* "Publish this draft!"
* "Delete that draft"
## Troubleshooting
If not working:
- Make sure UV is installed globally (if not, uninstall with `pip uninstall uv` and reinstall with `brew install uv`)
- Or find UV path with `which uv` and replace `"command": "uv"` with the full path
- Verify all X/Twitter credentials are correct
- Check if the x-mcp path in config matches your actual repository location
