VS Code

​

Before you start

• Plans: you need GitHub Copilot. Copilot Free, Pro, Pro+ and Max are not restricted. On Copilot Business and Enterprise, the MCP servers in Copilot policy must be on, and it is off by default.
• Platforms: VS Code 1.99 or later on macOS, Windows and Linux.
• A PostQueen API key. A workspace admin copies it, or the ready-made address, from Connections.

​

Connect VS Code

https://api.postqueen.ai/mcp/YOUR_API_KEY

{
  "servers": {
    "postqueen": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.postqueen.ai/mcp/YOUR_API_KEY"
    }
  }
}

​

Check that it works

​

Good to know

• VS Code uses "servers", not "mcpServers", and "type" must be "http". A block copied from Cursor does not work here.
• The file holds your key when you use the key address. Keep a workspace .vscode/mcp.json out of version control, or use an input variable below.
• Copilot can add the entry for you in agent mode, if you allow it to edit .vscode/mcp.json.
• Ask for drafts when you want to check first. A draft waits on your PostQueen calendar, and nothing publishes until you schedule it.
• What it cannot do over MCP: delete a post, or change a post’s text or time. Do that on the calendar in the app. The MCP tools lists what it can do.

      "id": "postqueen-key",
      "description": "PostQueen API key",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "postqueen": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.postqueen.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:postqueen-key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Try this first

List my PostQueen channels. Then write a short Bluesky post about the feature in this branch and save it as a draft for tomorrow at 9am.
