Octopost + VS Code

Octopost is a social media MCP server. Add it to VS Code and your agent can post to X, write native threads, schedule posts and hold them for your approval. Octopost is live on X; other networks are on the roadmap.

1. 1. Start a plan and connect X

   Sign up (7 days for $1, then $29 a month), then connect your X account on the accounts page.

2. 2. Copy your API key

   It starts with op_ and lives on the API keys page.

3. 3. Add Octopost to VS Code

   Add this to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace (or your user mcp.json):

   {
     "servers": {
       "octopost": {
         "type": "http",
         "url": "https://octopost.ink/mcp",
         "headers": {
           "Authorization": "Bearer op_YOUR_API_KEY"
         }
       }
     }
   }

   Replace op_YOUR_API_KEY with your key.

   Then open Copilot Chat in Agent mode and enable the Octopost tools.

4. 4. Try it

   Ask your agent:

   • “List my Octopost accounts.”
   • “Queue a post to X about today's release and hold it for my approval.”
   • “Turn these release notes into a 3-post X thread and schedule it for 9am tomorrow.”
