MCP support
The server exposes Bluesky operations as tools to MCP clients, uses the atproto client, and is configured for authentication with a Bluesky identifier and app password.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
uvx 'git+https://github.com/gwbischof/[email protected]'BLUESKY_IDENTIFIERBLUESKY_APP_PASSWORDSecretLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

From the project READMEBluesky Social MCP
An MCP server for interacting with the Bluesky social network via the atproto client.
:wave: Leave an issue if you have any problems running this MCP. I should be able to push out fixes pretty quickly.
Quick Start
Get your Bluesky app password at: https://bsky.app/settings/app-passwords
Add the following to your MCP config file (Note that the version is pinned):
{
"mcpServers": {
"bluesky-social": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/gwbischof/[email protected]", "bluesky-social-mcp"],
"env": {
"BLUESKY_IDENTIFIER": "your-handle.bsky.social",
"BLUESKY_APP_PASSWORD": "your-app-password"
}
}
}
}
- For security reasons, I think its best to keep it pinned and manually change your config to update the version.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
