Post to social media from VS Code

VS Code can talk to BulkPublish directly. Connect it once and it can draft a post, put it in the content calendar, publish it, and read the numbers back afterwards, across every network you have connected. It runs on a hosted server, so there is nothing to install and no API key to paste.

What VS Code can do

51 operations across 11 parts of BulkPublish. This table is generated from the code that implements them, so it is what ships today rather than a roadmap.

Where the posts go

Anything scheduled here reaches all 15 networks BulkPublish publishes to, one account or every account at once. Each network has its own guide.

Setting up VS Code

  1. Create a BulkPublish account. The free plan connects three channels and does not ask for a card.
  2. Add the hosted MCP server to VS Code. The address is https://mcp.bulkpublish.com/mcp and there is no key to copy.
  3. Sign in when VS Code asks you to. That sign-in is OAuth 2.1, so the token stays with VS Code and you can revoke it from your account at any time.
  4. Ask it to post something. It can see your channels, your queue and your analytics from the first message.

The AI toolkit has a VS Code section that walks through this step by step.

Ways teams use this

  • Bulk upload a month of posts in one pass, then let the queue send them out at the times you set.
  • Write once and cross-post everywhere. One post, adapted per network, goes to every connected channel together.
  • Turn a blog or podcast RSS feed into automatic posts the moment a new item appears.
  • Read the numbers back. Impressions, engagement and link clicks come back the same way the posts went out.

Frequently asked questions

Can VS Code post to social media on its own?

Yes, once you have connected it. VS Code reaches the same API the app uses, so it can write a post, put it in the queue, publish it, and read the numbers back. Everything it schedules appears in your content calendar, so you can look before it goes out.

Do I need an API key?

No. The hosted server uses OAuth 2.1, so you sign in once in your browser and VS Code holds a token from then on. You can revoke that token from your account at any time, and nothing else stops working.

Which networks can it publish to?

All 15 of them. VS Code sees the same channel list you do, so it can publish to one account or to every account at once, and it can adapt the wording per network in the same call.

Is anything installed on my machine?

No. The server is hosted, so VS Code connects to a web address. There is nothing to run locally and nothing to keep updated, and it works the same on every machine you sign in from.

Can I review what it writes before it publishes?

Yes. Ask it to save drafts rather than publish, or turn on approvals so every post waits for a person. Both are ordinary BulkPublish settings and they apply whatever created the post.

Does agent access cost extra?

No. It is part of every plan, including the free one. Posts an agent schedules count against your plan exactly like posts you write in the app.
