Pipe terminal output to this MCP Server

This Bluesky Social MCP Server enables Claude Code to use `create_post` directly from your command line interface. SREs can pipe build failures or system status updates directly into a private Bluesky feed. You can chain terminal commands so that a successful deployment automatically triggers a Bluesky post via Claude Code. No browser windows or heavy desktop apps are required to keep your followers updated.

Command-line feed monitoring with Claude Code

The `list_timeline` and `list_notifications` tools let Claude Code fetch your social feed directly into stdout. You can grep for mentions or error reports without leaving your SSH session. If you find an issue, Claude Code can use `get_profile` to identify the reporter. It makes triaging public bug reports fast and scriptable.

Automate community moderation via CLI

This MCP Server uses `mute_user` and `unmute_user` to help Claude Code handle spam accounts from the terminal. You can run batch scripts to mute lists of bots identified by your security tools. Claude Code reads the list of bad actors from a text file and runs the mute tools in a fast loop. It keeps your brand's social space clean without manual clicking.
