Overview

What is Instagram MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol server that integrates with Instagram’s Graph API to let AI applications interact with Instagram Business accounts programmatically. It is built for developers using MCP-compatible agents (like Claude Desktop) and requires an Instagram Business account linked to a Facebook Page, a Facebook Developer Account, a long-lived access token, and Python 3.10+.

How to use Instagram MCP Server?

Clone the repository, install dependencies (pip install -r requirements.txt), set environment variables in a .env file (including INSTAGRAM_ACCESS_TOKEN, FACEBOOK_APP_ID, FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET, INSTAGRAM_BUSINESS_ACCOUNT_ID), then configure the MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) with the server command and arguments. Use natural language queries to trigger tools like getting profile info, analyzing posts, or publishing media.

Frequently asked questions

1

What prerequisites are required?

You need an Instagram Business account connected to a Facebook Page, a Facebook Developer Account, a long‑lived access token with the correct permissions, and Python 3.10+.

2

How do I get Instagram API credentials?

Follow the detailed authentication guide in `AUTHENTICATION_GUIDE.md` or the steps in the README: set up a Business account, create a Facebook App, add the Instagram Graph API product, request the required permissions, generate a long‑lived access token (via Graph API Explorer or OAuth flow), and configure environment variables.

3

What permissions are required for the access token?

`instagram_basic`, `instagram_content_publish`, `instagram_manage_insights`, `pages_show_list`, and `pages_read_engagement`.

4

How do I handle token expiration?

Long‑lived tokens expire after 60 days. Implement automatic refresh by calling the `fb_exchange_token` endpoint before expiration. The README provides sample Python code for checking token validity and refreshing it.

5

What are the rate limits?

Profile, media, and insights requests are limited to 200 calls per hour. Publishing is limited to 25 posts per day. The server implements intelligent rate limiting and recommends caching, batch requests, and exponential backoff.
