Cast to Warpcast from GitHub Copilot
GitHub Copilot can cast on Warpcast through ClipSpeed. Add the ClipSpeed server with one config block, sign in, and then ask GitHub Copilot to cast, pick the time, and apply Warpcast's settings, without leaving VS Code's agent mode and the Copilot CLI. Warpcast is on the roadmap on ClipSpeed's rail; this page describes how it works and says so.
Keep a human in the loop: GitHub Copilot shows the plan and asks before anything is public. Posting today: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn.

How to cast Warpcast from GitHub Copilot
VS Code reads MCP servers from .vscode/mcp.json. Add the entry, start the server from the editor, sign in, and agent mode has the tools. Connect Warpcast in ClipSpeed, then describe the post. Setup takes about a minute.
# One-time setup: .vscode/mcp.json
{
"servers": {
"clipspeed": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp" }
}
}
# Then ask GitHub Copilot:
> Cast the announcement at 9am with the link
GitHub Copilot: Preview — nothing booked yet. Warpcast — text under 320 bytes. Book it?ClipSpeed has not yet run an end-to-end check inside Copilot. The server is standard MCP over HTTP, which VS Code's agent mode supports.
- Create .vscode/mcp.json in the workspace with the block shown.
- Open the file; VS Code shows a Start action above the server. Start it and approve the ClipSpeed sign-in.
- Open Copilot Chat in agent mode, confirm clipspeed is in the tools picker, and ask it to list your channels.
- Connect Warpcast in the ClipSpeed app, or ask GitHub Copilot for a connect link: it is private, valid for ten minutes, and Warpcast signs you in itself.
What can GitHub Copilot do on Warpcast?
On Warpcast, GitHub Copilot can publish casts with embeds to your account or a channel. Every booking runs through the same rules as the ClipSpeed app.
Text, Image and Video posts
Warpcast takes text, image and video through ClipSpeed. Video: linked by URL as an embed. Image: linked by URL as an embed.
320 characters, checked at booking
Warpcast's own arithmetic. Too long is refused with the real count, never trimmed at send time.
Exact time or refused
Name the minute and GitHub Copilot books it, or you are told why not and offered the next open slot. A booked Warpcast post is never moved behind your back.
Preview before anything posts
preview: true runs the whole booking and writes nothing. GitHub Copilot shows the plan, with each slot and the day's remaining cap, and books only on your yes.
Clips cut in the same chat
Submit a video or stream link, get captioned 9:16 clips with a viral score, and post the best as native video on Warpcast. No download, no re-upload.
Pacing and numbers
Planned: Text posts on Warpcast are at least 30 minutes apart, up to 10 a day. After a post goes out, GitHub Copilot can read back views and engagement where Warpcast provides them.
How does GitHub Copilot post to Warpcast through ClipSpeed?
You describe what you want in plain language and GitHub Copilot makes the ClipSpeed calls. A typical conversation has three beats.
Find your Warpcast channel
Ask GitHub Copilot whether Warpcast is connected. It calls list_channels and reads platform_settings, so it also knows what Warpcast accepts and the limits before you write a word.
Compose within the rules
Describe the post. GitHub Copilot drafts within Warpcast's limits; mention a clip or a file and it attaches it.
Schedule or publish
Name a time, or say now. The slot is booked exactly or refused with the next open one, and the reply carries the id you can cancel or edit by.
Warpcast settings reference
These are the schedule_post fields that apply to Warpcast. Mention any of them in plain language and GitHub Copilot sets them; the server checks them at booking. Fields marked planned land with the Warpcast release.
| Field | Type | Required | What it does on Warpcast |
|---|---|---|---|
platforms | string[] | Yes | Include "warpcast". Up to ten platforms per call; each books its own slot. |
text | string | Yes | 320 bytes for a standard cast; long casts allow 1,024. |
channel | string | Planned | A Farcaster channel to cast into. |
media_url | string | No | An embed; up to two per cast. |
scheduled_at | ISO 8601 | No | Exact or refused with the next open slot. |
preview | boolean | No | Plan only. |

Example prompts for Warpcast in GitHub Copilot
Type these into VS Code's agent mode and the Copilot CLI, or pass one to terminal in a script. GitHub Copilot calls ClipSpeed and confirms before publishing.
Cast Warpcast with a scheduled time
Cast the announcement at 9am with the link. Keep the text under 320 characters. Preview first.
Cut the clips, then post the best
Clip this link, keep the top three by viral score, and schedule them to Warpcast at 11am, 3pm and 7pm tomorrow. Show me the plan before booking.
From a script with GitHub Copilot
copilot -p "Summarise the changes since the last git tag as one Warpcast post under 320 characters. Schedule it via ClipSpeed for today at 10am; preview first and book if nothing is refused."
Warpcast limits and gotchas to know
Warpcast enforces a few rules that GitHub Copilot and ClipSpeed respect automatically, but knowing them helps you phrase requests.
- 320 bytes, not characters, for a standard cast; emoji cost more. Long casts allow 1,024.
- Up to two embeds per cast.
- Warpcast is on ClipSpeed's roadmap, not the next rail. Bookings are refused plainly until it posts.
- Casting uses a signer you approve in Warpcast; ClipSpeed never asks for a recovery phrase.
- Planned pacing: ten casts a day 30 minutes apart.
| Rule | Warpcast |
|---|---|
| Accepts | Text, Image, Video |
| Text limit | 320 characters (320 bytes for a standard cast; long casts allow 1,024) |
| Title | No title field |
| Links in the caption | Kept as embeds (up to two) |
| Pacing | Planned: Text posts on Warpcast are at least 30 minutes apart, up to 10 a day. |
| Formats | Image: linked by URL as an embed. Video: linked by URL as an embed. Aspect: any |
| Status | On the roadmap; described here, not yet bookable |
What Postiz-style schedulers cannot do
Cut the clips first
GitHub Copilot does not need finished video to start. Hand it a YouTube link, a podcast, a stream VOD or a local export. ClipSpeed finds the moments, cuts them to 9:16 with word-by-word captions, scores each one 0 to 100 for shareability, and returns them in the same conversation. GitHub Copilot picks by score, writes the caption from the transcript, and books the clips on Warpcast. Three tool calls, one approval, no download and no re-upload.
- Clips arrive with a title written from the hook, a transcript and a viral score, so the agent can choose and caption without watching the footage.
- Live streams can be clipped while they are still on air; the agent books the highlights for the next morning before the stream ends.
- Every clip is already hosted, so
schedule_posttakes its id directly. Nothing moves through your laptop.
submit_to_clipspeedPaste the link. ClipSpeed starts the job and returns a project id.check_clipsPoll with the project id. Back come the finished 9:16 clips with titles, transcripts, viral scores and preview links.schedule_postPass the clip id, the platforms, a caption and a time. GitHub Copilot shows the plan with preview: true, you say yes, it books.generate_image or generate_videoDescribe the shot. ClipSpeed runs it on the model that fits (Seedance, Kling, Veo, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image and others) and quotes the credits first.wait_for_generationReturns the hosted result link and a preview the agent can show you.schedule_post with media_urlThe result link goes straight into the booking on Warpcast. The caption, the time and the file are approved together.The other half nobody else has
Generate the image or video, then post it
A product shot for Instagram, a 16:9 announcement graphic for X, a six-second opener before a clip: GitHub Copilot can make an image or a short video with ClipSpeed's image and video models and book the result in the same reply. There is no separate design tool, no export, no upload page. The generated file is hosted, so media_url is the only thing the booking needs.
- The price in credits is quoted before anything renders, within the per-generation and daily caps you set in Settings.
- Results are previewed in the conversation, so you approve the picture and the post at once.
- Images post as JPG, PNG or WebP up to 25 MB; video posts as MP4, MOV or WebM up to 1 GB.
What is GitHub Copilot?
GitHub Copilot's agent mode in VS Code runs multi-step tasks in your workspace and calls MCP tools; the Copilot CLI does the same in a terminal. With ClipSpeed added as an HTTP MCP server, Copilot can clip a video, generate media and schedule posts to your connected platforms.
How ClipSpeed works with GitHub Copilot
- VS Code starts the server from .vscode/mcp.json and handles the OAuth sign-in
- Agent mode reads

Warpcast and GitHub Copilot: frequently asked questions
How do I cast to Warpcast from GitHub Copilot?
Create .vscode/mcp.json in the workspace with the block shown. Open the file; VS Code shows a Start action above the server. Start it and approve the ClipSpeed sign-in. Connect Warpcast in ClipSpeed (or ask GitHub Copilot for a connect link; it is private and valid for ten minutes), then describe the post in plain language. GitHub Copilot reads the Warpcast rules, drafts within them, shows the plan and books on your yes. Warpcast is on the roadmap; until the badge changes, the booking is refused with a plain message.
What can GitHub Copilot post to Warpcast through ClipSpeed?
Publish casts with embeds to your account or a channel. Warpcast takes text, image and video posts. Text is limited to 320 characters.
Which Warpcast settings can GitHub Copilot control?
The fields in the settings reference above: text, channel, media_url, scheduled_at, preview. Mention any of them in plain language ("unlisted", "tomorrow at 9", "preview first") and GitHub Copilot sets the matching field before it books.
Do I need a Warpcast API key or developer account?
No. You connect Warpcast to ClipSpeed once through Warpcast's own sign-in, and GitHub Copilot talks to ClipSpeed over OAuth. No Warpcast developer key, bearer token or password is pasted anywhere.
How many Warpcast posts a day can GitHub Copilot schedule?
Planned: Text posts on Warpcast are at least 30 minutes apart, up to 10 a day. When a time is taken, the booking is refused with the next open slot rather than moved. Ask for preview to see a day's plan and the remaining cap before anything is booked.
Can GitHub Copilot post to Warpcast from a script or a cron job?
Yes. GitHub Copilot's headless mode (terminal) runs one prompt and exits, and the ClipSpeed server registered on that machine does the booking. On a runner with no browser, authenticate with a ClipSpeed API key header. Keep preview on so the run reports a plan before it books.
Is posting to Warpcast from GitHub Copilot different from Cursor?
The booking is identical: the same rules, the same calendar, the same refusals. What differs is where you work. GitHub Copilot: vs code agent mode, jetbrains, the copilot cli. Cursor: cursor editor, standard mcp route, not yet verified by us.
