Bluesky MCP Server

Bluesky MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server that connects to Bluesky and provides tools to interact with the ATProtocol.

You can use this MCP server to bring context from various Bluesky / ATProtocol API endpoints directly into the context window of your LLM based application. For example, you can add this server to Claude Desktop and then use it as a natural language Bluesky client.

Features & Tools

• Interact with common Bluesky features via natural language (e.g. "Get recent posts from David Roberts")
• Fetch and analyze feeds ("Find me a feed about Seattle and tell me what people are talking about")
• Fetch and analyze lists of followers ("What types of accounts does Mark Cuban follow? Give me a detailed report")
• Use an LLM to write a post and then post it for you 😱 ("Write a haiku about today's weather in my area and post it to bluesky")
• Search for feeds, posts, and people ("Find posts about the #teslatakedown and give me a summary of recent events")
• Analyze who follows you? ("Who follows me on Bluesky? Give me a report")
