The setup is Meta's, not the server's — an app, a linked Page, and eight permission scopes — but a bundled helper walks the token exchange and writes the environment file, which is the step that usually costs an afternoon.
A server wrapping the Instagram Graph API for a Business or Creator account, covering profile and media, publishing, comments, direct messages and insights.
- Your account profile as the API reports it
- Your own media listed, and a single item pulled in full
- Media you have been tagged in, listed separately from your own
- A combined listing across your media set
- Publishing, comment handling, direct messages and insights, each with its own set of tools
An Instagram Business or Creator account linked to a Facebook Page, a Meta app with the Instagram product added, and a long-lived Page token carrying instagram_basic, instagram_content_publish, instagram_manage_comments, instagram_manage_messages, instagram_manage_insights, pages_show_list, pages_read_engagement and business_management. While the Meta app is in Development mode, only accounts in its Roles list can authenticate.
One command plus a key — pip install instagram-mcp, then supply credentials
