Save the finalized X MCP node to your library so you can drop it into any future workflow.
Example Prompts
With 23 available tools, these examples showcase common use cases. Feel free to experiment with natural language to discover more possibilities. Monitor Brand MentionsTroubleshooting
If your X MCP node isn’t working as expected, try these best practices:Keep Prompts Simple and Specific
- Good: “Search tweets containing ‘product launch’ from the last 7 days and return text, author_id, public_metrics”
- Less Efficient: “Search tweets about product launches, analyze sentiment, and create a report”
Match What X Can Do
- Good: “Get followers of user ID 12345 and return id, name, followers_count”
- Less Efficient: “Get followers of user ID 12345 and add them to my HubSpot CRM”
Break Complex Tasks Into Steps
Instead of trying to do everything in one prompt (which might cause timeouts or complexity):1
Step 1: Search Mentions
Search tweets mentioning “your_brand” from the last 7 days and return text, author_id, public_metrics
2
Step 2: Analyze Sentiment
Use Ask AI to categorize each tweet as positive, negative, or neutral
3
Step 3: Identify Influencers
Filter for authors with high follower counts using a Filter node
Connect these nodes sequentially in your workflow. The tweet data from Step 1 becomes the input for Step 2, and filtered results feed into Step 3.
Focus on Data Retrieval
X MCP is great at getting information from X. For analysis or content creation, connect it to other nodes. Example:- Good prompt: “Get the last 50 tweets from user ID 12345 and return text, created_at, public_metrics”
- Less Efficient: “Get the last 50 tweets from user ID 12345 and summarize their content strategy”
