Bluesky MCP server

This MCP server implementation allows you to integrate Bluesky social media platform functionality with applications that use the Model Context Protocol, such as Claude Desktop. It provides tools for accessing and interacting with your Bluesky account programmatically.

Installation and Setup

To use the Bluesky MCP server, you need to configure it with your Bluesky credentials. For Claude Desktop, add the server configuration to your Claude settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bluesky": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-server-bluesky"],
      "env": {
        "BLUESKY_USERNAME": "username",
        "BLUESKY_PASSWORD": "password",
        "BLUESKY_PDS_URL": "https://bsky.social"
      }
    }
  }
}

The BLUESKY_PDS_URL parameter is optional and defaults to https://bsky.social if not specified.

Available Tools

The MCP server provides several tools for interacting with Bluesky:

Profile Management

• bluesky_get_profile - Retrieve a user's profile information
• bluesky_follow - Follow a user
• bluesky_delete_follow - Unfollow a user
• bluesky_get_follows - Get a list of accounts a user follows
• bluesky_get_followers - Get a list of a user's followers

Content Interactions

• bluesky_post - Create a new post
• bluesky_delete_post - Delete one of your posts
• bluesky_repost - Repost content

Using the Tools

After configuring the MCP server in Claude Desktop, you can access these tools through Claude's interface. Each tool has specific parameters and returns data in a structured format that Claude can interpret and use in conversations.

How to add this MCP server to Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > MCP and click "Add new global MCP server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "cursor-rules-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "cursor-rules-mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explictly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
