Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use MCP tools in VS Code?

VS Code supports MCP servers through Copilot Chat. Add the OpenTweet config to .vscode/mcp.json in your project, and the tools become available in Copilot Chat agent mode.

Do I need GitHub Copilot for this?

Yes. VS Code's MCP support is part of GitHub Copilot Chat. You need an active Copilot subscription to use MCP tools in VS Code. Alternatively, use the Cline extension which has its own MCP support.

Can I tweet from any VS Code project?

Yes. Add the MCP config to .vscode/mcp.json in any project, or set it up globally. The OpenTweet tools are available wherever you code.

Does VS Code need access to my Twitter account?

No. VS Code connects to OpenTweet via your API key. Your Twitter credentials are never stored in VS Code or its extensions.
