The Problem

The Fediverse represents millions of users across thousands of decentralized servers, but AI assistants have no way to access this ecosystem. The ActivityPub protocol's complexity and the need for WebFinger discovery create significant barriers to AI integration.

The Solution

Developed the first MCP server for ActivityPub, built on the Fedify framework for robust protocol support. The server enables AI assistants to discover users via WebFinger, fetch profiles and posts, and explore the social graph across any ActivityPub-compatible instance.

The Results

  • First MCP server enabling AI access to the Fediverse
  • WebFinger discovery across federated instances
  • Compatible with Mastodon, Pixelfed, and all ActivityPub servers
  • Built on Fedify for reliable protocol implementation
