Configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {

      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "--name", "twitter-mcp-server",
        "touchmeangel/twitter-mcp-server"

Or run http server like this

docker run -i --rm --name twitter-mcp-server -e APP_PORT=3000 -p 3000:3000 touchmeangel/twitter-mcp-server

    restart: unless-stopped
