Connect VS Code

Use an installed VS Code with Copilot agent chat available. The editor manages the MCP connection and browser sign-in.

Add the server

Open the Command Palette and run MCP: Add Server. Choose HTTP, enter https://app.openpo.st/mcp, and name the server openpost. Choose user configuration to use it across projects, or workspace configuration for this project.

A workspace .vscode/mcp.json looks like this:

{
  "servers": {
    "openpost": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.openpo.st/mcp"
    }
  }
}

The top-level key is servers, not mcpServers.

Authorize and test

Start the server from its configuration and complete the OpenPost sign-in. Select read-only access for a first connection. In agent chat, enable the OpenPost tools and ask, “List my OpenPost workspaces.”

If tools are missing

Use MCP: List Servers to inspect the server status and output. Check that the current chat has the tools enabled. A new login can resolve an expired authorization.
