Bluesky

mcp-bluesky

Bluesky MCP — wraps the AT Protocol API

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1875+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

Tool	Description
get_profile	Look up a Bluesky user's profile by handle (e.g., "alice.bsky.social"). Returns display name, bio, follower/following counts, avatar, and verification status.
get_posts	Fetch recent posts from a Bluesky user's timeline. Returns post text, timestamps, likes, reposts, reply counts, and threaded replies.
search_posts	Search Bluesky posts by keyword or phrase. Returns matching posts with author handles, timestamps, engagement metrics, and content.Requires bsky_handle and bsky_app_password in the gateway URL query params.
get_feed	Get posts from a Bluesky feed (e.g., "discover", "what's-hot"). Returns recent posts with authors, timestamps, and engagement counts.
get_followers	Get a user's followers on Bluesky by handle. Returns follower profiles including handles, display names, bios, and follower counts.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bluesky": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/bluesky/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/bluesky/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1875+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/bluesky_get_profile \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"handle":"alice.bsky.social"}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/bluesky_get_profile. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bluesky": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-bluesky"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-bluesky

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Bluesky data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
