# GitHub Copilot

> Connect TryPost to GitHub Copilot in VS Code for AI-powered social media management

[GitHub Copilot](https://github.com/features/copilot) supports MCP servers in agent mode, allowing you to connect TryPost directly to your VS Code workflow.

## Prerequisites

* VS Code with the GitHub Copilot extension installed
* Copilot agent mode enabled
* A TryPost Cloud account with an active subscription ([plans and billing](/knowledge-base/plans-and-billing))

## Setup (IDE agent mode)

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create the MCP configuration file">
    In your project root, create or edit `.vscode/mcp.json`:

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "servers": {
        "trypost": {
          "type": "http",
          "url": "https://app.trypost.it/mcp/trypost"
        }
      }
    }
    ```

    No `Authorization` header — Copilot uses VS Code's MCP layer, which discovers OAuth from the URL.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Reload VS Code">
    Reload the window to load the new MCP configuration.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in through your browser">
    Open Copilot Chat in agent mode. VS Code prompts you to sign in to TryPost. Approve the request in the browser and the server flips to **Connected**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the connection">
    Ask Copilot:

    ```
    List all my TryPost posts
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  VS Code uses `"servers"` as the top-level key (not `"mcpServers"`). This is different from most other MCP clients.
</Tip>

## Copilot coding agent (cloud)

GitHub's **coding agent** (the one that runs on GitHub's infrastructure to handle issues and PRs) does not yet support OAuth for remote MCP servers. TryPost's MCP endpoint requires OAuth (`mcp:use`) and **rejects** Personal Access Tokens, so cloud coding agent MCP is not supported today.

Use Copilot's **IDE agent mode** (above) for MCP, or call the [REST API](/api-reference/introduction) from Actions / scripts with an API key from **Settings → API Keys**.

## Global IDE configuration

To make TryPost available across all projects in your IDE, open the command palette and run **MCP: Open User Configuration** to add the server to your user-level settings.

## Example prompts

```
Create a new post scheduled for tomorrow
```

```
Show me all my signatures
```

```
What social accounts are connected to my workspace?
```
