Context API MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server to access the doppelgangers.ai Social Media Context API.

This MCP server provides access to contextualized renderings (XML descriptions) of Twitter/X posts. The contextualization allows for:

• More high-quality retrieval of relevant information from the posts,
• More high-quality analysis of insights, trends, topics, etc. from the posts

The contextualization is achieved by adding the following information to the XML description of each post:

• Descriptions of referenced posts and images
• When the post is a reply in a conversation, the conversation or a summary of the conversation.
• Metadata about the post (e.g., creation data, post ID, etc.)

Note that no descriptions are added yet related to referenced videos or links (external sites).

The XML structure helps to describe the relationship between posts and their context.

Using the available tools has a cost associated with it, with each call the credit balance is updated.

Features

• search_relevant_posts: Semantic search of contextualized post renderings of a certain Twitter/X user, based on a natural language queries like "What does @visionscaper think about the future of AI?".

• get_all_user_posts: Retrieve all contextualized post renderings of a specific Twitter/X user. This is useful to analyse the posts for insights, trends and topics over all posts.

• check_credits: View your API credit balance and usage.
