Connect to Taproot
Taproot is a read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the Atmosphere—the network of apps built on AT Protocol. It lets your AI assistant inspect public accounts, records, conversations and lexicons across the network. Bluesky is one of the apps built on it.
The connection
https://mcp.atproto.at/mcp
Use Streamable HTTP transport. No account, API key or authorization header is needed. Add the URL as a remote MCP server in a client that supports this transport, then enable its tools.
Taproot reads public data. It cannot publish posts, send messages, change your account or read private data.
Claude Code
Run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http taproot https://mcp.atproto.at/mcpIn Claude Code, run /mcp to check the connection. See the Claude Code MCP documentation for client configuration options.
Try asking
- “What apps has this account used besides Bluesky?”
- “Who’s quoting this post, and what are they saying?”
- “How has this account’s handle changed over time?”
- “Find schemas for books and reading. What could I build with them?”
- “Walk me through this record. What does it tell us, and which app is it from?”
Include an account handle, post URL or AT URI when asking about a particular account or record.
Some of the tools
resolve- Resolve an AT URI, handle, DID or supported app URL.
get_profile- Inspect an account and its public repository.
list_records- Read records in an account’s collection.
get_thread- Read a public conversation.
get_backlinks- Find references to an account or record.
resolve_lexicon- Look up a collection’s schema.
The live tool catalog contains the full list and input schemas. Follow pagination cursors for additional results. If a request is rate limited, respect the returned retry delay.
Without an MCP client
Agents and scripts can use Taproot’s HTTP API directly. For example, read a public account:
curl 'https://api.atproto.at/v1/tools/get_profile?actor=bsky.app'Read the OpenAPI specification for endpoints and parameters, or Taproot’s agent documentation for a plain-text overview.
