1. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/asadhuddleduck/thread-storm.git
   cd thread-storm
   

2. Install dependencies:

   uv sync

Environment Variables

Architecture

src/thread_storm/
  threads_client.py   — Threads HTTP client (GET via urllib, POST via curl)
  twitter_client.py   — Twitter client via tweepy (OAuth 1.0a)
  server.py           — FastMCP server with 13 tool definitions

Threads Publishing Flow

1. Create media container (POST)
2. Poll container status until FINISHED (2s intervals)
3. Publish container (POST)
4. Wait 10s propagation delay before next reply

Twitter Publishing Flow

1. Post tweet (POST /2/tweets)
2. Post next tweet with in_reply_to_tweet_id
3. No polling or delays needed

storm_publish_thread

Runs both platforms in parallel using ThreadPoolExecutor. Twitter finishes in seconds while Threads takes 1-2 minutes for a 9-post thread.

Token Management (Threads)

Threads tokens expire after 60 days. Auto-refresh kicks in at day 30:

1. Token saved to ~/.threads-mcp/token.json on first use
2. After day 30, exchanged for a fresh 60-day token
3. New token saved to both token.json and .mcp.json

Twitter OAuth 1.0a tokens do not expire.

Rate Limits

• Threads publishing: 250 posts per 24 hours
• Threads search: 500 queries per 7 days
• Twitter publishing: 500 tweets per month (Free tier)
