Post to Social Media from VS Code / GitHub Copilot

Connect LazyRelay's MCP server to GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code and schedule, check, and verify social posts without leaving your editor.

What you can ask Copilot

• "Schedule a post announcing this release to X and LinkedIn for tomorrow at 9am."
• "What's already queued this week?"
• "Did the launch-day post actually go live on every platform?"
• "Pull my post analytics for the last 30 days."

The part most AI-agent schedulers skip

Most integrations stop at the API call — Copilot asks for a post, the API says 200 OK, and that's treated as done. It isn't. Rate limits, silent moderation holds, and platform-side failures can all eat a "successful" request. LazyRelay's list_scheduled_posts tool returns real Proof-of-Publish status, so you can ask Copilot to check whether a post actually went live, not just whether the request was accepted.

Setup

1. In your project, create .vscode/mcp.json (or add to it) with:

   {
     "servers": {
       "lazyrelay": {
         "url": "https://lazyrelaylazyrelay-backend.onrender.com/mcp"
       }
     }
   }

2. Save the file, then click the Start CodeLens that appears above the server entry, or reload VS Code. You'll be prompted to sign in — use your LazyRelay account. In Copilot Chat, switch to Agent mode and click the tools icon to confirm LazyRelay's tools are listed.

Requires an active GitHub Copilot subscription and VS Code 1.99 or later. Full tool reference (list_connected_accounts, list_workspaces, schedule_post, publish_post_now, update_post, list_scheduled_posts, delete_scheduled_post, get_analytics_summary, get_mentions) at lazyrelay.com/docs.
