Prerequisites

See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:

BLUESKY_HANDLE, BLUESKY_APP_PASSWORD

Step 1 — Get credentials

This connector wraps the Bluesky AT Protocol XRPC API (bsky.social).

Setup:

  1. In the Bluesky app or web client → Settings → Privacy and Security → App Passwords → Add App Password.
  2. Name it (e.g. 'mcp') and copy the generated xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx password. App passwords scope down what they can do — never use your account password.
  3. Set BLUESKY_HANDLE (e.g. you.bsky.social) and BLUESKY_APP_PASSWORD.

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Step 2 — Install the adapter

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Step 3 — Add the connector in Gemini

Gemini CLI reads MCP servers from ~/.gemini/settings.json (or %APPDATA%\gemini\settings.json on Windows). Add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "httpUrl": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
  1. Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key.
  2. Save the file and restart gemini.
  3. Run /mcp inside the Gemini CLI — Bluesky should be listed as available.
  4. Vertex AI Studio: pass https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp to the tools array of your request with the same Bearer header.

Does Gemini 1.5 Pro or 2.x support MCP? Yes — Gemini CLI ≥ 0.4 and Vertex AI tools API both accept MCP httpUrl connectors with Bearer headers.
