Can I schedule a post for multiple social networks at once?

Yes. The `schedule_message` tool accepts an array of social profile IDs. Your agent can send the same text content to all selected networks (e.g. Twitter and LinkedIn) in a single command, ensuring cross-platform consistency.

How do I find the ID of a social profile?

Ask your agent to `list_social_profiles`. It will return all connected accounts along with their unique IDs, network type (TWITTER, FACEBOOK, etc.), and usernames, making it easy to identify the correct target for your posts.

Can I delete a scheduled post if I find an error?

Absolutely. Use the `delete_message` tool with the specific Message ID. Your agent will remove the pending post from the Hootsuite queue, preventing it from being published.

Hootsuite (Social Media Management) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Hootsuite (Social Media Management) MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
