VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

VS Code’s GitHub Copilot agent connects to Social media studio’s remote Streamable HTTP MCP server using type: "http", a url, and an X-API-Key header.

You need an API key (format sk_live_...) to connect. Generate one from Settings > API Access, or see Authentication.

Setup

Create the config file

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root (or run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette).

Add the configuration

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "so-me-studio": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.so-me.studio/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "sk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Start the server

A Start code lens appears above the server entry in .vscode/mcp.json. Click it, or let VS Code prompt you to start the server when Copilot is in Agent mode.

Verify

Open the Copilot Chat panel, switch to Agent mode, and click the tools icon. Tools from so-me-studio should appear in the list.

Keeping the key out of source control

Avoid committing your key in .vscode/mcp.json. Use an input prompt so VS Code asks for the key and stores it securely:

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "so-me-api-key",
      "description": "Social media studio API key",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "so-me-studio": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.so-me.studio/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "${input:so-me-api-key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

MCP support in VS Code requires GitHub Copilot in Agent mode. Make sure you have an up-to-date VS Code and Copilot Chat extension.

Troubleshooting

Tools do not appear

Confirm type is http, the url is https://api.so-me.studio/mcp, and the X-API-Key value is an active key beginning with sk_live_. Use the Start code lens or run MCP: List Servers to restart it.

405 Method Not Allowed

The Social media studio server runs in stateless Streamable HTTP mode (POST only). Keep type: "http" — do not use an SSE server type.
