Can GitHub Copilot post to social media?

Yes. With xpost added as an MCP server, Copilot in agent mode can draft and schedule posts for 9 networks. You can see every post in xpost, or turn on approvals so posts wait for your review.

Do I need an API key for Copilot?

No. VS Code opens the xpost sign-in page in your browser; you log in once. End the connection any time from Settings.

Is it safe to let an editor agent post for me?

Yes. You can see every post Copilot creates in xpost, get a link when it goes live, and turn on approvals whenever you want to review posts before publishing.

Does this cost extra?

No. The connector is included in every xpost plan, with no extra fee and no usage meter.

Post to social media from GitHub Copilot.

Add xpost as an MCP server, sign in once, and ask Copilot in agent mode for the post — so the release note and the launch post are written in the same place.
