A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that wraps the
**Instagram Graph API** so Claude (or any MCP client) can read, publish, comment,
DM, and pull insights from an Instagram **Business** or **Creator** account.

24 tools across five capability areas — profile/media, publishing, comments, DMs,
and insights — built on FastMCP + httpx.

## Quick install

```bash
pip install instagram-mcp

Or with `uv`:

```bash
uv tool install instagram-mcp

2. In the app dashboard, add the **Instagram** product (Add Product → Instagram → Set up).

### 2. Link an Instagram Business/Creator account

You need an Instagram account switched to **Business** or **Creator**, linked to a
Facebook **Page**. In the app dashboard, walk through **Instagram → API setup with
Facebook login → Step 1: Generate access tokens** and link your account.

### 3. Get the required permissions

Generate a token with these scopes (in Graph API Explorer or the Instagram API
setup page):

- `instagram_basic`
- `instagram_content_publish`
- `instagram_manage_comments`
- `instagram_manage_messages`
- `instagram_manage_insights`
- `pages_show_list`
- `pages_read_engagement`
- `business_management`

> While your app is in **Development mode**, only accounts in your app's Roles

> For other users, you need **App Review** with Advanced Access.
