Step 1
Open Settings → Developer
In your Tactic Social account, open Settings and click the Developer tab. You'll see the API Keys section.
Connect VS Code to Tactic Social
Add Tactic Social as an MCP server in Visual Studio Code. Paste one JSON config, hit Start, and manage your social posts without leaving your editor.
Step 2
Click "Create API Key"
Click the green Create API Key button in the top right — a dialog will open to configure your key.
Step 3
Name your key and set permissions
Give your key a name (e.g. My integration key), choose an expiry, and select the permissions you need. Click Create API Key, then copy the key that appears — you'll use it in the config below.
Step 4
Open MCP Settings
Open the command palette (⌘ Shift P on macOS or Ctrl Shift P on Windows), type >mcp, and select MCP: Open User Configuration.
Step 5
Paste the configuration
Copy the config below and paste it into the MCP configuration file. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you copied. If the file already has a servers block, add tactic-social as a new entry inside it.

"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
