Connect VS Code to SkedCast with MCP

VS Code reads MCP servers from an mcp.json file: a workspace-level .vscode/mcp.json (good for a team, committed to the repo) or a user-profile file. VS Code handles the OAuth sign-in for you.Updated

PropertyValue
Endpointhttps://api.skedcast.com/mcp
TransportStreamable HTTP
AuthOAuth 2.1: the client runs the sign-in for you. The MCP server does not accept API keys.
SkedCast planMCP access depends on your SkedCast plan (see pricing).
Tools79 tools: 44 that read and 35 that change your workspace. See the MCP tools reference for the full list.

Add SkedCast to VS Code#

Open the Command Palette and run MCP: Add Server for a guided setup, or create .vscode/mcp.json in a repo root to share the server with your team. A user-profile mcp.json keeps it to you.

json
{
  "servers": {
    "skedcast": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.skedcast.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
mcp.json: a remote server uses type http and a url.

Sign in and use it#

On the first connection VS Code opens a browser for the OAuth sign-in. Then open Copilot Chat in agent mode, check the tools list for SkedCast's tools, and ask Copilot to check or schedule posts.

FAQ

Should the config go in the workspace file or my user profile?
The entry holds only the URL, and each person signs in with their own SkedCast account. Put it in .vscode/mcp.json to share it with your team, or in your user profile to keep it to you.
Why don't I see SkedCast's tools in Copilot Chat?
Check that Copilot Chat is in agent mode and that the server shows as running. Also check the chat.mcp.access setting, which can block MCP servers.
