What is a Bluesky MCP server?
A Bluesky MCP server is a tool server that lets an AI agent work with Bluesky through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The agent makes a request, the server acts on Bluesky through the AT Protocol, and the result comes back directly into the same chat. WoopSocial’s server publishes and schedules posts.
Does Bluesky have an official MCP server?
No (as of November 2026). Community servers exist and work with app passwords. If you only post to Bluesky and you can self-host, then you can just use a community server. WoopSocial is perfect for scheduling Bluesky alongside your other platforms.
| Community servers | ||
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Self-host + app password | Sign in |
| Scheduling | Rarely | Yes |
| Other platforms | No | 8 more |
| Validation before posting | Varies | Yes |
What your AI agent can do with Bluesky
Once connected, your agent can do eight things on Bluesky:
| What you ask | What happens |
|---|---|
| Post text | Publishes a text post. |
| Post up to 4 images with alt text | Publishes images, each with its own alt text. |
| Post video | Publishes a video post. |
| Schedule | Queues the post with SCHEDULE_FOR_LATER, converted to UTC. |
| Draft | Holds the post in WoopSocial for you to review. |
| Cross-post X, Threads and Bluesky versions | Sends different text to each platform with contentOverride. |
| Check delivery | Reports whether each post was published or failed. |
| Read performance | Returns post-level analytics. |
How to connect a Bluesky MCP server to your agent (3 steps)
- Get your MCP URL. Create a free WoopSocial account and open the API access page. Use the OAuth URL, https://api.woopsocial.com/mcp, or the API-key version for clients without sign-in. The key sits inside that URL, so treat the whole URL like a password.
- Connect your Bluesky account. In WoopSocial, connect any Bluesky account through the same authorization flow as the other platforms.
- Add WoopSocial to your agent. In Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or another MCP client, add WoopSocial as a remote MCP server and authorize it. Then ask: “List my social accounts in WoopSocial.” Our MCP setup guide covers each client.
Why use WoopSocial when the AT Protocol is open?
The AT Protocol is the most open API of the nine platforms WoopSocial supports - no app review, no paid tier, and app passwords. However, there are still some honest reasons to use WoopSocial:
- Scheduling: Bluesky has no native scheduling, so going direct means building your own queue.
- One fewer integration: session handling and blob uploads are one more thing to maintain.
- The short-form trio: Bluesky, X and Threads run behind one connection.
A real conversation
This is a recorded session, not a mock-up. The prompt was: “Post this to Bluesky now, with the screenshot and alt text, and schedule the same news for X at 15:00.”
Bluesky MCP prompts to try
Copy any of these into your agent. You can also swap in your own content.
- “Write a 300-character Bluesky version of this blog post and post it.”
- “Schedule these 3 Bluesky posts for tomorrow at 9, 12 and 17.”
- “Post these 4 photos with alt text to Bluesky.”
- “Post this to Bluesky, Threads and X with the right length for each.”
- “Save this as a Bluesky draft.”
- “Cancel the Bluesky post scheduled for tonight.”
Bluesky requirements and limits
These limits come from Bluesky and not WoopSocial - per its docs on creating posts (as of November 2026).
- Text: 300 characters.
- Images: up to 4 per post.
- Video: up to 3 minutes.
What it doesn’t do
WoopSocial is a publishing server that publishes and schedules Bluesky posts. However some features are out of its scope:
- Reply-chain threads
- Replies, likes and reposts
- Custom feeds
- Account-level analytics
