Search, read, and post to Bluesky from any MCP client — a thin server over the @kud/bsky AT Protocol library.

Features • Quick Start • Tools • Development

</div>

🌟 Features

• App-password auth — uses your Bluesky App Password via BLUESKY_HANDLE / BLUESKY_APP_PASSWORD (shared with @kud/bsky-cli).
• 11 tools — 5 read, 6 write.
• Writes are gated — every posting/engagement tool requires an explicit confirm: true, so an agent can never publish by accident.
• Thin wrapper — each tool is one line over @kud/bsky; the API logic lives in the core library, not here.
• TypeScript, ESM, zero business logic — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk + zod.

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+
• A Bluesky account and an App Password (Settings → App Passwords)

Installation

npx @kud/mcp-bsky

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

🧪 Development

git clone https://github.com/kud/mcp-bsky.git
cd mcp-bsky
npm install
npm run build
npm test

| Script | Description | | --------------------- | --------------------------------------- | | npm run build | Compile TypeScript to dist/ | | npm run dev | Run from source via tsx | | npm test | Run the vitest suite | | npm run inspect:dev | Launch the MCP Inspector against source |

Test against source with the Inspector:

export BLUESKY_HANDLE=you.bsky.social
export BLUESKY_APP_PASSWORD=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
npm run inspect:dev

🔐 Authentication

This server reads two environment variables — @kud/bsky's contract, intentionally not MCP_-prefixed so the credentials are shared with @kud/bsky-cli:

1. Sign in at bsky.app → Settings → App Passwords → Add App Password.
2. Set BLUESKY_HANDLE (e.g. you.bsky.social) and BLUESKY_APP_PASSWORD (the generated app password — never your main password).
