They ask their agent to run `search_posts` for those keywords, sorting by 'top,' and the system pulls the most engaged discussions from the entire network. ### Building an Early Adopter List A SaaS founder needs specific developers. They use `search_users` to find profiles matching technical keywords, then run `get_followers` on those accounts to build a qualified list of people interested in their product. ### Keeping up with Niche Trends A crypto analyst wants to know what's hot right now. They use `get_trending_topics` and then examine the full conversation thread using `get_post_thread` before writing an informed reply. ### Managing a High-Volume Community A product lead needs to ensure no one is ignored. They set up rules that use `get_notifications` to alert them instantly, and they can manage the conversation by calling `reply_to_post` when necessary. ## Benefits - Deepen your network presence. Instead of just posting, you can use `quote_post` to add commentary when sharing someone else's work, boosting your thought leadership. - Find contacts faster. You don't have to manually check profiles; the MCP lets you run `search_users` and analyze their follower graphs immediately. - Stay on top of conversations. Using `get_notifications` means your agent flags every mention or reply instantly, so you never miss a crucial engagement point. - Build better content. When drafting posts with `publish_post`, the system automatically handles rich text elements like clickable links and formatted hashtags for maximum visual impact. - Maintain focus. If your timeline gets noisy, use `mute_user` or `unfollow_user` to keep only the most relevant accounts in your feed. ## How It Works The bottom line is: it turns complicated social media actions and data retrieval into simple, actionable commands for your AI client. 1. First, navigate to Bluesky Settings > Advanced and create an App Password. You need this secure token. 2. Next, input your Bluesky handle along with that generated App Password into the MCP client settings. 3. Once connected, you can start calling tools like `search_posts` or `get_author_feed` directly from your AI agent. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How do I create an App Password?** Log into your Bluesky account on the web or mobile app, navigate to **Settings > Advanced > App Passwords**, and click 'Add App Password'. Name it 'MCP Server' and use the generated password. **Will my main Bluesky password be safe?** Yes. This MCP server explicitly requires an App Password, which provides scoped access without exposing your main account credentials. You can revoke this App Password at any time from your Bluesky settings. **Do links in posts appear clickable?** Yes. All posts automatically detect URLs, @mentions, and #hashtags and convert them into rich text facets — the AT Protocol standard for clickable elements. Posts with URLs also include a link card preview with the page's title and description. **Is there a character limit for the posts?** Yes, Bluesky enforces a strict 300-character limit per post. Your AI agent is instructed to automatically keep all published text within this limit, ensuring your posts are never rejected.
