配置
服务器需要以下环境变量:
CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR:包含登录会话的 Chrome 用户数据目录的路径
可以通过配置管理器获得其他配置选项:
浏览器设置(视口、超时)
Instagram 设置(延迟、批量大小)
保存目录和文件路径
用法
安装依赖项:
npm install构建服务器:
npm run build运行服务器:
CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR=/path/to/chrome/profile npm start
可用工具

| username | Yes | Instagram username to fetch posts from |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden but only mentions 'using existing Chrome login' as a behavioral trait, hinting at authentication needs. It fails to disclose critical behaviors like rate limits, pagination mechanics (implied by 'startFrom' but not explained), error handling, or what 'recent' means temporally, leaving significant gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that states the core action and key constraint ('using existing Chrome login'). It's front-loaded with the main purpose, though it could be slightly more structured by separating functional from implementation details.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete for a tool with 3 parameters and behavioral complexity. It lacks details on return values (e.g., post format, errors), authentication specifics, or operational limits, making it inadequate for full agent understanding.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents parameters like 'limit' and 'startFrom'. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what's in the schema, such as clarifying 'recent' in relation to parameters or usage context, meeting the baseline for high coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get recent posts') and target resource ('from an Instagram profile'), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from siblings (none exist), and the phrase 'using existing Chrome login' adds implementation detail rather than clarifying the core purpose, slightly reducing specificity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, prerequisites, or constraints beyond the implied need for Chrome login. With no siblings, differentiation isn't needed, but it lacks context like when to fetch posts (e.g., for monitoring, analysis) or any exclusions, leaving usage unclear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 1 tool
With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap between tools. The tool's purpose is clearly defined as retrieving Instagram posts, leaving no room for misselection.
The single tool name follows a clear verb_noun pattern (get_instagram_posts), which is consistent and predictable. Since there is only one tool, naming consistency is inherently perfect.
One tool is too few for a server labeled 'Instagram MCP Server', which implies broader Instagram functionality. This minimal toolset feels thin and under-scoped for the apparent domain, limiting agent capabilities.
The tool surface is severely incomplete for Instagram operations. It only allows retrieving posts, with no coverage for actions like posting, commenting, liking, or managing profiles, leading to significant gaps that will cause agent failures.
