Team-wide MCP Server access in VS Code

Commit your configuration to the repo and every developer on your team gets the same tools. Use `list_organizations` and `get_me` to verify everyone has the right access level. It keeps the team aligned on the same data source. No more inconsistent setups or lost credentials when someone new joins the project.

Automated publishing at scale

Use the agent to manage large volumes of content across your teams. With `create_message` and `list_messages`, you can build automated pipelines that handle scheduling for you. It's built for scale. You can programmatically handle dozens of posts at once, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.

Profile and team management

Query your social profiles and team lists without leaving your editor. Use `list_social_profiles` to find the right ID for your next deployment. It simplifies the developer experience. You spend less time searching documentation and more time building features that rely on accurate social metadata.
