What is the Pinterest MCP Server?
Connect your Pinterest account to any AI agent and take full control of your visual marketing and content orchestration through natural conversation. Pinterest is the world's leading visual discovery engine, and this integration allows you to retrieve board metadata, create high-impact pins, and analyze audience engagement directly from your chat interface.
What you can do
- Board & Profile Orchestration — List all managed boards and retrieve detailed metadata programmatically to ensure your visual identity is always synchronized.
- Pin Creation Intelligence — Create new pins on specific boards with optimized titles and descriptions directly from the AI interface to drive better reach.
- Performance & Analytics Control — Retrieve granular analytics for individual pins and top-performing account metrics via natural language to maintain a clear overview of your visual strategy.
- Content Discovery Oversight — Access and monitor your board structures and pins to keep your inspiration feeds and marketing assets always optimized using simple AI commands.
- Operational Monitoring — Track system responses and manage user account metadata to ensure your social media workflows are always high-performing.

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the top-performing pins for a specific date range?
Yes! Use the get_top_pins_analytics tool. Provide the start and end dates along with a sort criteria (like 'IMPRESSION'), and your agent will respond with complete metadata for your best content in seconds.
How do I find my Pinterest OAuth Access Token?
Log in to the Pinterest Developer Portal, create an application, and use the 'Token Generator' or perform the OAuth 2.0 flow to obtain your secret access token.
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.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
