Control your team queue from VS Code Copilot

`create_post` lets your engineering team schedule product announcements directly from the chat panel. Copilot drafts the post based on your commit history and queues it instantly. If a release gets delayed, `delete_post` cancels the pending announcement right from your code editor. Your team maintains full control over the launch window without switching to external dashboards.

Share this MCP Server across your entire team

`list_accounts` provides your team with a shared list of authorized social profiles inside the workspace. Copilot uses these IDs to ensure everyone commits updates to the correct channels. By committing the configuration to your repository, every developer gets instant access to these tools. This eliminates manual setup steps for new team members.

Track launch performance in your sidebar

`get_analytics_metrics` pulls live performance data directly into your Copilot chat window. Your team reviews post-launch engagement without leaving the development environment. Running `get_daily_recap` via the MCP Server summarizes yesterday's social interactions for your standup meetings. Copilot formats the raw metrics into a clean markdown report in your sidebar.

Setup guide

Set up BlackTwist MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2

Add the BlackTwist MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the BlackTwist tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent BlackTwist transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
