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 Mentions
Search tweets mentioning "gumloop" OR "@gumloop" from the last 7 days
and return text, author_id, created_at, public_metrics
Track Competitor Activity
Get the last 100 tweets from user ID `competitor_user_id`
excluding retweets and return text, created_at, public_metrics
Find Viral Content in Your Niche
Search tweets about "AI automation" with more than 100 likes
from the last 7 days and return text, author_id, public_metrics
Analyze Engagement on a Tweet

Audit Your Following List
Get accounts I'm following and return id, name, username, public_metrics
Start with a single action like “Search tweets” or “Get user tweets” to verify your X MCP node, then chain multiple nodes for multi-step workflows like content curation or competitor analysis.

Troubleshooting

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”
While the longer prompt might work, it’s more efficient to break it into separate nodes. X MCP works best with focused, single-action prompts.

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”
X MCP excels at X platform operations. For CRM updates, combine it with HubSpot or another appropriate node in your workflow.

Break Complex Tasks Into Steps

Instead of trying to do everything in one prompt (which might cause timeouts or complexity):
Search for tweets mentioning our brand, analyze sentiment,
identify influencers, and send them a DM
Break this into smaller, focused nodes that each handle one task:
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”
Use X MCP to fetch the tweets, then pass its output to Ask AI for summarization and analysis.

Troubleshooting Node Creation

In the node creation window, ask Gummie to add debug logs and verify the API response.
In the node creation window, describe to Gummie what you expected versus what you received.
MCP node creation often requires a few tweaks. Use Gummie chat during node creation to refine filters, output fields, or pagination.
