Instagram MCP server for AI agents

What you can do with the Instagram MCP

Talk to it in plain language — the agent gets the media, the account that posted it and the people who engage with it

  Bio, number of followers and posts, verified and business status.

• Account search

  Look up an account by name even if you don’t remember the exact username.

• Posts and reels

  Latest posts and reels of an account, including captions and media.

• Post by URL

  Any single post, reel or carousel — all slides, the caption and the author.

• Comments

  Comments under a post or reel, with their authors and dates.

• Likers

  Who liked a post or reel, with names and profile pictures.

• Followers

  The list of an account’s followers, one page at a time.

🔌 Fits any MCP-compatible client · the only difference is where the config file lives.

1. Go to the MCP settings of your client and locate the config file — most often it is mcp.json.
2. Put GramSnap into the mcpServers section:
   mcp.json Copy

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "gramsnap-mcp": {
         "type": "http",
         "url": "https://api-wh.gramsnap.com/instagram/mcp"
       }
     }
   }

3. Save the changes and restart the client to load the server.
4. Now try a request in the chat:
   • Download the video from instagram.com/p/…
   • Grab all current stories of this account

Frequently asked questions

Answers about connecting GramSnap to your AI agent.

• What is MCP?

  MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants use external tools and data. The server offers a set of tools, and the assistant chooses when to use them.

• Which clients are supported?

  Every MCP-compatible client. The setup section above explains ChatGPT and Claude — web, desktop app and Claude Code — and gives a universal config for all the others.

• Can it access private accounts?

  No. Just like on our website, only public content is available.

• What is the difference from the REST API?

  The data is the same, the user is different. The REST API is meant for your own code, while MCP is built for an AI agent that decides by itself when to download something.
