What is Grok-X?

Grok-X brings real-time X (Twitter) intelligence directly into Claude Code. Search, monitor, analyze, and extract structured intelligence from X using Grok’s native x_search tool — no browser required, no scraping. Access the full X firehose via the xAI Responses API.

Key Capabilities

Grok-X provides four distinct modes of operation:

X Search

Grok’s native x_search tool queries the live X platform. Monitor specific accounts, filter by date range, and analyze embedded images and videos in posts. This is not keyword scraping — it is semantic search against real-time X content.

Cross-platform Research

Add --web to run web_search alongside x_search. Verify claims, find corroborating sources, and get a full picture across X and the open web in a single query.

Data Analysis

Add --analyze to activate code_interpreter. Grok writes and executes code to compute engagement statistics, posting frequency, trend velocity, and other quantitative signals from search results.

Structured Extraction

Add --extract SCHEMA to get typed JSON output. Five built-in schemas cover sentiment scoring, narrative mapping, timeline construction, account profiling, and claim attribution. Useful for piping results into downstream systems.

Prerequisites

Before installing Grok-X, ensure you have:
xAI API keys begin with xai- and can be obtained from console.x.ai
