Platform MCP

Use the hosted streamable-http endpoint directly from clients that support authenticated remote MCP. For clients that only support command/stdio MCP servers, use mcp-remote as a local compatibility proxy.

Workflow Scope

This MCP service is designed for social media content intelligence workflows. It does not provide account login, posting, editing, liking, commenting, following, live streaming, or other account actions.

Supported workflows include:

• Query the current API Key account's SocialDataX points balance / 积分余额、剩余积分或点数.

• Search Instagram users by keyword; use returned usernames or profile URLs for user details and posts.

• Search public Instagram posts by keyword; continue with the returned next_page_token as page_token.

• Read post details when the caller already has a post_id.

• Resolve an Instagram post share URL into structured post details.

• Fetch paginated first-level comments from an Instagram post share URL; when only a post_id is available, first call instagram_get_post_detail_by_post_id and reuse the returned share_url.

• Fetch paginated replies under a first-level comment by post_id and first-level comment_id; use a valid post_id and first-level comment_id supplied by the user directly. If an ID is missing and a post URL is available, call instagram_get_post_comments_by_post_url, then reuse items[*].post_id and items[*].comment_id from the same comment. If only post_id is available, first call instagram_get_post_detail_by_post_id to obtain share_url, then call instagram_get_post_comments_by_post_url and reuse the target first-level comment's IDs. If neither a post URL nor post_id is available, ask the user for the post URL or ID.

• Fetch public Instagram user info by username or profile URL.

• Fetch paginated public posts published by an Instagram user by username or profile URL.

• Submit and check speech-to-text transcript jobs for ordinary video posts and Reels; photo and carousel posts are not supported.

Tools

Quick Start

For clients that support authenticated streamable-http, use the hosted endpoint directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "socialdatax-instagram": {
      "type": "streamable_http",
      "url": "https://mcp.socialdatax.com/instagram/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <SOCIALDATAX_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

A configuration template is available in examples/streamable_http_config.json. Replace <SOCIALDATAX_API_KEY> with your API Key before use.

For command/stdio-only MCP clients, use mcp-remote:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "socialdatax-instagram": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.socialdatax.com/instagram/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer <SOCIALDATAX_API_KEY>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code can use remote HTTP directly:

claude mcp add --transport http socialdatax-instagram https://mcp.socialdatax.com/instagram/mcp --header 'Authorization: Bearer ${SOCIALDATAX_API_KEY}'

Persist SOCIALDATAX_API_KEY in the runtime environment or client Secret before restarting Claude Code.

Claude Desktop should use its remote MCP / Connectors UI when available. If a local configuration file in your version only supports command/stdio servers, use the mcp-remote fallback.

Client Examples

Configuration examples are available in examples:

• Command/stdio fallback config

• Claude Desktop fallback config

• Cursor remote HTTP config

• Codex remote HTTP config

• Direct streamable HTTP config

API Key

Request or manage API access from the product website:

https://socialdatax.com/ai?from=github

Use the key as a Bearer token in the Authorization request header. Do not commit real API Key values to code, docs, issues, or screenshots.

Directory Metadata

Public metadata files in this repository:

• server-card.json: directory-oriented metadata for the hosted service. Official MCP Registry publishing uses the private source repo's registry/instagram/server.json for the current com.52choujiang/instagram-insights entry.

• mcp.json: generic command/stdio fallback config using mcp-remote.

• glama.json: Glama repository ownership metadata.

• SUBMISSION_CHECKLIST.md: checklist for MCP directory submissions.

Gemini CLI extension

Install this service from its public GitHub repository:

gemini extensions install https://github.com/DevinChen2014/instagram-mcp

When prompted, enter your own SOCIALDATAX_API_KEY. Get a key from SocialDataX; business tool calls consume SocialDataX credits. The extension connects directly to the existing hosted MCP endpoint and does not include the private service implementation.

Verify the connection with gemini mcp list. To change the saved key, run:

gemini extensions config socialdatax-instagram
