GitHub Copilot Integration
Schedule social media posts from GitHub Copilot
Copilot reads AGENTS.md and supports MCP in agent mode. Register the PostQuickAI MCP server and paste our snippet, and Copilot can write, schedule and report on social media posts from your IDE.
1. Register the MCP server (VS Code)
Create .vscode/mcp.json in your repo:
{
"servers": {
"postquickai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@postquickai/mcp"],
"env": {
"POSTQUICKAI_API_KEY": "${env:POSTQUICKAI_API_KEY}"
}
}
}
}Export POSTQUICKAI_API_KEY in your shell so the config can reference it safely (the JSON is committed; the key is not). Commit .vscode/mcp.json so your team shares the same server definition.
2. Drop AGENTS.md at the repo root
Create or open AGENTS.md at your repo root and paste the PostQuickAI section from /agents-md. Copilot reads AGENTS.md without any other setup.
Already using .github/copilot-instructions.md? Paste the same snippet there instead. Copilot reads both files.
3. Enable agent mode in Copilot Chat
Open the Copilot Chat sidebar in VS Code, click the mode dropdown and choose Agent. MCP tools appear only in agent mode, not in Ask or Edit mode.
4. Try it in Copilot Chat
In agent mode:
API and agent access
Included in every plan
Every plan includes the REST API, MCP server, Claude Skills, and AGENTS.md integration, at no extra charge.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Copilot Chat in VS Code supports MCP servers in agent mode. Add PostQuickAI to the `github.copilot.advanced.mcp.servers` setting or to `.vscode/mcp.json` in your repo.
Copilot reads AGENTS.md, a shared project-instructions file that many coding agents use. Our snippet tells Copilot when to use the MCP tools, how to handle rate limits and which skill fits which request. Put it in your repo root.
The MCP server gives Copilot the tools, and AGENTS.md tells it when to call them. MCP works on its own, but Copilot picks the right tool more often when it has both.
Copilot also reads .github/copilot-instructions.md. If you already have one, paste the PostQuickAI section there. If not, use AGENTS.md, which other agents read as well.
These steps are written for VS Code agent mode. MCP support in JetBrains and Visual Studio may differ, so check their Copilot docs. Where MCP isn't available, AGENTS.md still helps, because Copilot can call the REST API using the OpenAPI spec.
Troubleshooting
Connection failed
Set command to npx and provide args as an array. Restart the agent after changing its configuration.
Plan required
MCP and REST API access need an active plan. Every plan includes them. View plans.
API key missing
Create a key in API settings. Keys begin with pq_live_ and belong in the MCP configuration environment block.
Rate limit reached
Basic allows 30 requests/minute and 5,000/day. Pro allows 120 requests/minute and 50,000/day. Read the rate-limit reference.
GitHub Copilot setup still failing
Check the developer documentation or email konark@arktechllc.net.
Setup guides for other agents
Each guide uses the same PostQuickAI API and MCP server with tool-specific configuration.
