### Twitter Auth

Write actions (post, delete, like, bookmark, retweet, follow) require a connected Twitter/X account. Before attempting any write action, call `twitter_account_status` to check if an account is connected.

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `connect_twitter` | Connect a Twitter/X account (opens a browser window) |
| `twitter_account_status` | Check if a Twitter account is currently connected |
| `disconnect_twitter` | Disconnect and clear stored credentials |

**Connecting an account:**

1. Call `connect_twitter` — a Chrome window will open at x.com
2. The user logs in if prompted
3. Once confirmed, credentials are saved locally to `~/.twit-mcp-credentials.json`
4. Write actions are available immediately — no restart needed

If a write action is requested and no account is connected, call `connect_twitter` first and wait for confirmation before proceeding.

## How Payments Work

Each tool call makes an HTTP request to `x402.twit.sh`. The server responds with `402 Payment Required`. The MCP server signs a USDC payment locally using the configured `WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY` and retries — all automatically, in one round-trip. The private key never leaves the machine.
