VS Code

​

Before you start

• Plans: you need GitHub Copilot. Copilot Free, Pro, Pro+ and Max are not restricted. On Copilot Business and Enterprise, your organization’s MCP servers in Copilot policy must allow it.
• Platforms: VS Code 1.140 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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postqueen": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "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

• Two file shapes. ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json uses "mcpServers", and a project’s .vscode/mcp.json uses "servers". Both need "type": "http".
• The file holds your key when you use the key address. Keep a project’s .vscode/mcp.json out of version control, or, in a Local session, use an input variable below.
• Copilot can add the entry for you in the Copilot chat, if you allow it to edit the file.
• 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: change a post’s text or time. Do that on the calendar in the app. The MCP tools lists what it can do.

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.
