Postbase for VS Code

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.

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.

Set up Postbase in VS Code

About a minute, and you only do it once.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Run once to add the remote server to Copilot.
bash
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.

  • “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.”

You stay in control

VS Code gets a small set of tools, and everything it does shows up in Postbase.

What can my agent call?
list_channelsSee connected accounts and their platforms.
create_postDraft or schedule a post/thread to any channels.
list_scheduledReview what's queued to publish.
cancel_postPull a scheduled post before it goes out.
Tools

Four tools, nothing surprising

VS Code can list your channels, create posts and threads, check the queue and cancel a post. It can't delete anything or change your account.

Networks VS Code can post to

Any account you've connected in Postbase.

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?

Text posts and threads go to X, LinkedIn, Bluesky and Mastodon. TikTok and YouTube need a video, so for those ask for a draft and add the video in the Postbase composer before it's scheduled.

How do I stop Copilot posting for me?

Open Developers → 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.
