Add a social media MCP server to VS Code#
Open the Command Palette and run "MCP: Open User Configuration" for a config that syncs across your machines via Settings Sync, or create .vscode/mcp.json in a repo root if you want it shared with (and committed for) your team.

{
"servers": {
"skedcast": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.skedcast.com/mcp"
}
}
}Use it#
In Copilot Chat, switch the mode dropdown from Ask to Agent — MCP tools only run in Agent mode. Click the tools icon in the chat box to confirm SkedCast's tools are listed, then ask Copilot directly to check or schedule posts.

FAQ
- Should the config go in the workspace file or my user profile?
- Put a server your whole team should have (no personal secret involved) in .vscode/mcp.json and commit it. Put a server tied to your own API key or personal account in your user profile config instead, so it doesn't leak into the repo.
- Why don't I see SkedCast's tools in Copilot Chat?
- Check you're in Agent mode, not Ask mode — MCP tools are only exposed to Copilot's Agent mode. Also confirm the server shows as connected via the tools icon in the chat box.
