Missing twitter:site — Attribute Content to Your X/Twitter Account

Adding your X/Twitter @username helps attribute content to your account.

What is twitter:site?

The twitter:site meta tag specifies the X/Twitter @username of the website or organization that owns the content. It's displayed in card previews and helps attribute shared links back to your brand.

How platforms use it

X/Twitter — Shows "From @yourbrand" or attributes the card to your account
Analytics — Enables Twitter Card Analytics for your domain
Trust signal — Users see an established account linked to the content

Why should you add it?

Brand visibility — Your @username appears alongside shared links
Analytics access — Twitter Card Analytics tracks impressions, clicks, and engagement
Credibility — Links attributed to verified or established accounts get more trust
Discoverability — Users can click through to your Twitter profile

How to fix it

<meta name="twitter:site" content="@yourbrand" />

Also consider twitter:creator

<!-- Site/organization account -->
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@yourbrand" />

<!-- Individual author (for articles/blogs) -->
<meta name="twitter:creator" content="@authorhandle" />

Best practices

Include the @ symbol — @yourbrand, not just yourbrand
Use your main brand account — Not a personal account (use twitter:creator for that)
Keep it consistent — Same @username across all pages
Verify your account — Verified accounts get more trust in card previews

inspect_og — Fetch and score OG tags for any URL
suggest_og_tags — Generate recommended meta tag HTML

Add the server to your project's .cursor/mcp.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opengraph": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "opengraph-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor after adding the configuration.

  "servers": {
    "opengraph": {
      "command": "npx",

    }
  }
}
