Connect GitHub Copilot

Copilot in VS Code uses the editor's MCP connection. Add OpenPost once, then select its tools in agent chat.

Set up Copilot in your editor

1. Open VS Code and sign in to GitHub Copilot.
2. Follow Connect VS Code to add https://app.openpo.st/mcp and authorize OpenPost.
3. Open Copilot Chat in agent mode and enable the OpenPost tools.
4. Ask, “List my OpenPost workspaces,” then specify the workspace you want to use.

Try a useful task

Ask, “Review this week's schedule and suggest gaps without changing any posts.” With full access, try, “Prepare a draft about this release for my connected LinkedIn account. Leave it unpublished.” Review the result in OpenPost before scheduling it.

Other Copilot surfaces

This setup applies to Copilot in VS Code. GitHub's hosted coding agent has its own MCP configuration and authentication rules. An editor connection does not automatically configure a GitHub-hosted agent.

For missing tools, check the server status in VS Code and enable its tools for the current chat. See VS Code MCP setup for the editor controls.
