Let Copilot post for you
One command adds Postbase to VS Code. Copilot's agent can then write your release notes up as posts and schedule them to every network you use.

Connect VS Code from the AI & API page
Use your API key to automate Postbase — hook up an AI agent over MCP, script it from the CLI, or call the REST API directly.
API keys
A key authenticates the MCP server, the REST API, and the CLI. Shown once — store it safely.

Connect the Postbase MCP server to your AI tool so it can schedule and publish for you.
Authentication
No key to manage — your tool signs in through Postbase.
Client
Run once to add the remote server to Copilot.

Set up Postbase in VS Code
About a minute, and you only do it once.
- Step 1
Add the server
Run the command once. It adds Postbase to VS Code's MCP configuration, where Copilot's agent mode can use it.
- Step 2
Sign in to Postbase
A browser window opens. Sign in and pick the workspace the client may post to. There's no API key to copy or store.
- Step 3
Ask for a post
Tell Copilot what to post, where and when. It checks your channels, writes the post (or a separate version per network) and schedules it. Every post shows up in your Postbase calendar.
code --add-mcp '{"name":"postbase","url":"https://mcp.postbase.so/mcp"}'What to ask VS Code
Plain language works. These are a few things people ask for.
Postbase connected- Write an X post and a LinkedIn post about the feature in this file and schedule both for Thursday.
- Draft a Mastodon post for the new release and keep it under 500 characters.
- Show me what's scheduled for the rest of the week.
- Cancel tomorrow's X post.

Frequently asked questions
What can Copilot do in my Postbase account?
Four things: list your connected channels, create a draft or scheduled post (or thread), list what's queued, and cancel a scheduled post. It can't delete posts, disconnect accounts or change settings.
Which networks can Copilot post to?
Posts and threads go to X, LinkedIn, Bluesky and Mastodon, and videos to YouTube, with images or video from your Postbase media library. TikTok posts are saved as drafts, because TikTok requires you to choose who sees each one in the Postbase composer.
How do I stop Copilot posting for me?
Open AI & API → Connected apps in Postbase and click Revoke next to Copilot. Access ends immediately, and anything already scheduled stays in your calendar for you to keep or cancel.
Do I need a paid Postbase plan?
Every plan includes the MCP server, and every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. You can also self-host the open-source version for free.
