create-post

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:212-266 (registration)

  Registration of the 'create-post' MCP tool, including inline schema and handler function.

  server.tool(
    "create-post",
    "Create a new post on Bluesky",
    {
      text: z.string().max(300).describe("The content of your post"),
      replyTo: z.string().optional().describe("Optional URI of post to reply to"),
    },
    async ({ text, replyTo }) => {
      if (!agent) {
        return mcpErrorResponse("Not connected to Bluesky. Check your environment variables.");
      }
  
      try {
        const record: any = {
          text,
          createdAt: new Date().toISOString(),
        };
  
        let replyRef;
        if (replyTo) {
          // Handle reply format
          try {
            const parts = replyTo.split('/');
            const did = parts[2];
            const rkey = parts[parts.length - 1];
            const collection = parts[parts.length - 2] === 'app.bsky.feed.post' ? 'app.bsky.feed.post' : parts[parts.length - 2];
            
            // Resolve the CID of the post we're replying to
            const cidResponse = await agent.app.bsky.feed.getPostThread({ uri: replyTo });
            if (!cidResponse.success) {
              throw new Error('Could not get post information');
            }
            
            const threadPost = cidResponse.data.thread as any;
            const parentCid = threadPost.post.cid;
            
            // Add reply information to the record
            record.reply = {
              parent: { uri: replyTo, cid: parentCid },
              root: { uri: replyTo, cid: parentCid }
            };
  
          } catch (error) {
            return mcpErrorResponse(`Error parsing reply URI: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`);
          }
        }
  
        const response = await agent.post(record);
        
        return mcpSuccessResponse(`Post created successfully! URI: ${response.uri}`);
      } catch (error) {
        return mcpErrorResponse(`Error creating post: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`);
      }
    }
  );

• src/index.ts:215-218 (schema)

  Zod input schema defining parameters for the create-post tool: required 'text' (max 300 chars) and optional 'replyTo' URI.

  {
    text: z.string().max(300).describe("The content of your post"),
    replyTo: z.string().optional().describe("Optional URI of post to reply to"),
  },

• src/index.ts:219-266 (handler)

  Handler function that authenticates with agent, constructs post record with optional reply context (fetches CID), posts via agent.post(), and returns success/error MCP response.

    async ({ text, replyTo }) => {
      if (!agent) {
        return mcpErrorResponse("Not connected to Bluesky. Check your environment variables.");
      }
  
      try {
        const record: any = {
          text,
          createdAt: new Date().toISOString(),
        };
  
        let replyRef;
        if (replyTo) {
          // Handle reply format
          try {
            const parts = replyTo.split('/');
            const did = parts[2];
            const rkey = parts[parts.length - 1];
            const collection = parts[parts.length - 2] === 'app.bsky.feed.post' ? 'app.bsky.feed.post' : parts[parts.length - 2];
            
            // Resolve the CID of the post we're replying to
            const cidResponse = await agent.app.bsky.feed.getPostThread({ uri: replyTo });
            if (!cidResponse.success) {
              throw new Error('Could not get post information');
            }
            
            const threadPost = cidResponse.data.thread as any;
            const parentCid = threadPost.post.cid;
            
            // Add reply information to the record
            record.reply = {
              parent: { uri: replyTo, cid: parentCid },
              root: { uri: replyTo, cid: parentCid }
            };
  
          } catch (error) {
            return mcpErrorResponse(`Error parsing reply URI: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`);
          }
        }
  
        const response = await agent.post(record);
        
        return mcpSuccessResponse(`Post created successfully! URI: ${response.uri}`);
      } catch (error) {
        return mcpErrorResponse(`Error creating post: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`);
      }
    }
  );
