Schedule social media posts with VS Code with GitHub Copilot

How to connect Postozo to VS Code with GitHub Copilot

You need a Postozo account with at least 1 connected channel. VS Code with GitHub Copilot connects to Postozo's MCP server at https://app.postozo.com/mcp using OAuth sign-in or an API key header.

Option 1: guided. Open the Command Palette, run MCP: Add Server, follow the prompts to add an HTTP server with the URL https://app.postozo.com/mcp, and pick Workspace or Global. When VS Code asks, sign in to Postozo and click Allow. VS Code supports automatic client registration for OAuth.

Option 2: API key in a file. In Postozo, open Settings, Developers and copy your API key. It starts with pz_live_. Treat it like a password. Create .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "inputs": [
    { "type": "promptString", "id": "postozo-key", "description": "Postozo API key", "password": true }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "postozo": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.postozo.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:postozo-key}" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code asks for the key the first time and stores it safely, so the file can be shared. Then open Chat, use Configure Tools to turn on the Postozo tools, and ask: "List my Postozo channels".

Your organisation's GitHub Copilot policy can turn MCP servers off. Ask your admin if the server does not appear.

Check it works

In Chat, ask: "List my Postozo channels."

What VS Code can do with Postozo

Postozo gives VS Code 20 tools. A normal flow is: list your channels, read the rules of each network, check the post, find a free slot, then schedule it once you say yes.

The server also offers 2 ready prompts: plan_week (plan 5 posts for the next 7 days about a topic) and repurpose (turn a link or text into 1 post per channel).

Example prompts

• "Write a LinkedIn post about the feature in this file and check it against the LinkedIn rules."
• "Draft release notes for Discord and Slack from the last tag."
• "Schedule the draft for Thursday 11:00 on LinkedIn and X."
• "List posts that failed and explain each error."
• "Find a free slot for my Instagram channel this week."
• "Save this as a draft and send it for approval."

Safety and control

• 14 of the 20 tools only read. The 6 that change data (schedule_post, change_post_date, retry_post, delete_post, upload_media_from_url and generate_image) are marked as write tools, so VS Code can ask you before it runs them.
• The server tells the AI to confirm the text, channels and time with you before it schedules or publishes.
• Ask for drafts ("save as drafts") or for client review ("send for approval") when you want a human to check first.
• A post is never sent twice. If Postozo cannot confirm a post went live, it marks it "could not confirm" instead of retrying on its own.
• Remove access any time in Postozo under Settings, Approved Apps, or by creating a new API key.
