README

instagram-mcp-server

An MCP server for Meta's official Instagram Platform APIs. 37–42 tools covering publishing, media, comments, direct messages, insights, and discovery.

No private endpoints, no scraping, no session cookies, no username/password login. Every call goes to graph.instagram.com or graph.facebook.com with an OAuth token you issued yourself.

TypeScript, MCP SDK v2 (@modelcontextprotocol/server), Zod 4
stdio and Streamable HTTP transports
Graph API v26.0 by default, pinnable
Supports both of Meta's Instagram configurations from one codebase

Which auth mode do you want?

Meta ships two different Instagram APIs. This server implements both; IG_AUTH_MODE picks one at startup, and only the tools that mode can actually serve get registered.

	`instagram_login` (default)	`facebook_login`
Host	`graph.instagram.com`	`graph.facebook.com`
Facebook Page required	No	Yes — and you must admin it
Scope family	`instagram_business_*`	`instagram_` + `pages_`
Tools registered	37	42
Publishing, comments, DMs	✅	✅
Account and media insights	✅	✅
Mentions (read + reply)	✅	✅
Hashtag search	❌	✅
Business discovery (competitors)	❌	✅
Product tagging / Shopping	❌	✅
Delete media	❌	✅
`total_views` / `total_likes` / `total_comments` metrics	❌	✅

Pick instagram_login if your users should be able to connect with just an Instagram account. The onboarding is dramatically simpler and it is Meta's forward-looking path.

Pick facebook_login if you need hashtag research, competitor lookup, or Shopping tags. There is no way to get those on the Instagram Login path — it is a Meta product decision, not a gap in this server.

You can run two instances side by side with different modes if you need both.

Setup

1. Requirements

Node.js 20.3 or newer
An Instagram professional account — Business or Creator. Personal accounts cannot reach the Graph API at all.
A Meta app at developers.facebook.com

2. Install

Nothing to install ahead of time. MCP clients can launch it straight from npm:

npx -y @qaassim/instagram-mcp-server

Run on its own, it exits and reports that IG_ACCESS_TOKEN is required. That is expected. Your MCP client supplies the token through env (see step 5).

To install it globally instead:

npm install -g @qaassim/instagram-mcp-server
instagram-mcp-server

From source:

git clone https://github.com/qaassimq/instagram-mcp-server.git
cd instagram-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build

3. Create the Meta app and get a token

Instagram Login path

In the App Dashboard, create an app and add the Instagram product.
Under Instagram → API setup with Instagram Login, connect your Instagram professional account.
In step 3 of that page, click Generate token next to your account. Copy the IGAA... token.
Request these permissions for your app: instagram_business_basic, instagram_business_content_publish, instagram_business_manage_comments, `instagram_business_manage
