Claude Code: allow. ### `bsky_get_author_feed` - The name "bsky_get_author_feed" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get a Bluesky user's recent feed ordered newest-first. Filter by post type: "posts_with_replies" (everything), "posts_no_replies" (excludes replies), "posts_and_author_threads" (posts the author started), "posts_with_media" (the actor's own posts with images or video — no link cards), or "posts_with_video" (the actor's own video posts). The first three include reposts, so items authored by other accounts appear alongside the actor's own writing — a "repostedBy" field marks those, and the "author" field always names who actually wrote the post; the two media filters return no reposts. Set include_pins to also get the post pinned to the profile, marked "pinned", first on the first page — in addition to "limit", and whether or not it matches the filter. Returns posts with full text, engagement counts, embeds, and AT-URIs for drilling into threads via bsky_get_post_thread. Because "limit" counts reposts too, a page from an account that reposts heavily holds far fewer of that account's own posts than the limit suggests; the enrichment fields report the split, so read "originalPosts" rather than the limit when you want the actor's own writing. Supports cursor pagination. ``` ### `bsky_get_feed` - The name "bsky_get_feed" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Read the posts a Bluesky feed generator serves, in the order the feed ranks them. Accepts the feed's AT-URI (at:///app.bsky.feed.generator/) or its bsky.app page (https://bsky.app/profile//feed/). Feeds come from the "feedUri" of each bsky_get_trending topic — the way to read what a trend is about — from a quoted feed in a post (an embed with recordKind "generator"), or from a shared link; Discover is at://did:plc:z72i7hdynmk6r22z27h6tvur/app.bsky.feed.generator/whats-hot. Returns posts with full text, engagement counts, embeds, and AT-URIs for drilling into threads via bsky_get_post_thread. A post the feed pinned to its top carries "pinned: true"; a repost carries "repostedBy". Personalized feeds, which Bluesky serves only to a signed-in account, cannot be read here. Supports cursor pagination. ``` ### `bsky_get_follows` - The name "bsky_get_follows" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Fetch the social graph edges for a Bluesky account — who follows them, or who they follow. Returns paginated actor profiles (handle, DID, displayName, bio, pronouns when set, and Bluesky verification status) plus a summary of the subject account. Follower, following, and post counts and the website are not on this view, for the listed accounts or the subject — bsky_get_profile returns them for one account. Accounts with large social graphs return only the first page; use cursor pagination to walk through the full list, or sort "top" to put the accounts Bluesky ranks most prominent first. ``` ### `bsky_get_post_quotes` - The name "bsky_get_post_quotes" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Read the quote posts behind a Bluesky post's "quoteCount" — the posts that embed it with commentary of their own, newest first. On Bluesky this is where much of the reaction to a post lives; bsky_get_post_thread returns replies only. Accepts the post's AT-URI (at:///app.bsky.feed.post/) from the "uri" field of any returned post, or its bsky.app URL (https://bsky.app/profile//post/); a handle costs one extra lookup. Returns each quote post with full text, author, engagement counts, and AT-URI. Each result's embed names the queried post by AT-URI and CID only — its text is not repeated on every result — and keeps any media the quoting post attached. "quoteCount" is an upper bound on what this returns: Bluesky's counter keeps quotes that have left the index. Supports cursor pagination. ``` ### `bsky_get_post_thread` - The name "bsky_get_post_thread" says "get": a word for reading. - Findings: info long-description Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Fetch the conversation for a post by AT-URI — the parent chain upward and the reply tree downward. Enter the thread at any point and traverse the discussion. AT-URIs have the format "at:////" and are returned in the "uri" field of every post the other post-returning tools emit, such as bsky_get_feed and bsky_get_author_feed; a bsky.app post URL (https://bsky.app/profile//post/) works as-is. Returns the root post, parent chain, and nested replies with per-post author and engagement data. Replies only: quote posts are not part of a thread — read them with bsky_get_post_quotes. The response is often a fraction of the conversation: Bluesky holds replies back past a per-post limit and offers no way to page the rest, so a thread with thousands of replies commonly returns a few hundred. Any node returning fewer replies than its own replyCount carries "truncated: true" with "unreturnedReplies" and a "truncationReason" — "depth" means the reply tree ended there and fetching that node's AT-URI as its own thread continues below it, "unavailable" means no request closes the gap. Read "unreturnedReplies" as an upper bound on what is missing rather than a count of readable replies: Bluesky's counter also includes replies that have left the index, so a small difference often means nothing is left to fetch. The parent chain is disclosed the same way: when it stops at parent_height instead of at the start of the conversation, the topmost node carries "parentChainTruncated: true" and fetching its AT-URI as its own thread continues upward. The enrichment fields total the difference for the whole thread; check them before describing a conversation as complete or naming its first post. A thread that would pass this server's 48,000-byte response budget is cut between whole posts — the target kept first, then its parents nearest-first, then replies level by level — with "budgetCapped: true" and the cut marked where it happened: "budgetOmittedReplyUris" on the target and "budgetOmittedReplies" on a kept reply name the replies left out, "budgetOmittedParents" on the topmost parent the ancestors; fetching those AT-URIs as their own threads reads the rest. In the rendered text nothing is indented: a reply's author heading carries how far it sits below the top-level reply it descends from ("### ↳2"), and every post also names its own parent on a "Reply to" line. ``` ### `bsky_get_profile` - The name "bsky_get_profile" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Fetch a Bluesky actor's public profile by handle (e.g. "bsky.app") or DID (e.g. "did:plc:z72i7hdynmk6r22z27h6tvur"). Returns displayName, handle, DID, bio, pronouns, website, follower/following/post counts, avatar URL, moderation labels, pinned post AT-URI, and Bluesky verification — whether the account is verified or a trusted verifier, and who verified it. Use this as the first step to resolve a handle to a DID before calling tools that require a DID or AT-URI. Handles and DIDs are interchangeable as input, and "@bsky.app" or the account's bsky.app page (https://bsky.app/profile/bsky.app) work as-is. ``` ### `bsky_get_trending` - The name "bsky_get_trending" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Fetch the current real-time trending topics on Bluesky. Returns topics with display name, Bluesky's one-sentence summary of the story, post count, category (politics, sports, pop-culture, etc.), status, start time, and the representative accounts driving each topic — so "who is talking about this" needs no follow-up call. Entry point for "what is Bluesky talking about right now". Each trend is a feed: pass its feedUri to bsky_get_feed to read the trend's posts. Note: uses the app.bsky.unspecced.getTrends endpoint, which is not part of Bluesky's stable lexicon and may change without notice. ``` ### `bsky_search_actors` - The name "bsky_search_actors" says "search": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Find Bluesky accounts by name or handle fragment. Returns ranked profiles with handle, DID, displayName, bio, pronouns when the account set them, and Bluesky verification status — which tells a verified account from a look-alike handle. Follower, following, and post counts and the website are not on this view — bsky_get_profile returns them for one account. Use before bsky_get_profile or bsky_get_author_feed when you have a name but not a confirmed handle. Supports cursor-based pagination for browsing beyond the first page of results. ``` ## Claude Code permissions For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `bluesky`: ```json { "permissions": { "allow": [ "mcp__bluesky__bsky_get_profile", "mcp__bluesky__bsky_search_actors", "mcp__bluesky__bsky_get_trending", "mcp__bluesky__bsky_get_feed", "mcp__bluesky__bsky_get_author_feed", "mcp__bluesky__bsky_get_post_thread", "mcp__bluesky__bsky_get_post_quotes", "mcp__bluesky__bsky_get_follows" ], "ask": [], "deny": [] } } ```
