🚀 Getting Started with Installation

Installing via Smithery

To install Bluesky Context Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @laulauland/bluesky-context-server --client claude

Installing Manually

Alternatively, you can install the server manually:

Place the code somewhere on your computer.
Configure Claude Desktop to use the MCS server.

// ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/config.json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "bluesky": {
            "command": "/Users/laurynas-fp/.bun/bin/bun",
            "args": [
                "<path_to_this_directory>/bluesky-context-server/index.ts"
            ],
            "env": {
                "BLUESKY_APP_KEY": "",
                "BLUESKY_IDENTIFIER": ""
            }
        }
    }
}

💡 Key Use Cases in AI Workflows

Bluesky Context Server enhances AI workflows by allowing developers to integrate Bluesky into their applications. Here are two realistic scenarios:

Scenario 1: Real-time Blotting Analysis

Imagine a healthcare application where doctors need real-time blotting analysis data from Bluesky. The server would enable the AI application (such as Continue) to request and receive this data instantly, facilitating faster diagnosis and treatment.

const { MCSClient } = require("@modelcontextprotocol/mcs-client");

async function integrateBlueskyData() {
    const client = new MCSClient({
        url: "http://localhost:8090",
    });

    const response = await client.request("bluesky", "/data/blotting/123456");
    console.log(response.data);
}

Scenario 2: AI-Assisted Content Curation

A content curation platform could use Bluesky Context Server to integrate real-time data from various Bluesky instances. This would allow the AI application (like Cursor) to curate relevant and up-to-date content for users, enhancing user engagement and satisfaction.

const { MCSClient } = require("@modelcontextprotocol/mcs-client");

async function fetchCuratedContent() {
    const client = new MCSClient({
        url: "http://localhost:8090",
    });

    const response = await client.request("bluesky", "/content/curated/user-123");
    console.log(response.data);
}
