# Instagram MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for fetching Instagram posts using Chrome's existing login session.
## Features
- Modular architecture with clear separation of concerns
- Type-safe implementation using TypeScript
- Improved error handling and logging
- Configurable through environment variables
- JSON-RPC 2.0 compliant communication
- Automatic media downloading and metadata generation
- SEO-friendly description generation
## Architecture
The server follows a modular architecture with the following structure:

│ ├── types.ts # Browser types
│ └── browser.service.ts # Browser service
├── index.ts # Entry point
└── server.ts # Main server class
```
## Configuration
The server requires the following environment variables:
- `CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR`: Path to Chrome user data directory containing login session
Additional configuration options are available through the config manager:
- Browser settings (viewport, timeouts)
- Instagram settings (delays, batch sizes)
- Save directory and file paths
## Usage
1. Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
2. Build the server:
```bash
npm run build
```
3. Run the server:
```bash
CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR=/path/to/chrome/profile npm start
```
## Available Tools
### get_instagram_posts

Parameters:
- `username` (required): Instagram username to fetch posts from
- `limit` (optional): Number of posts to fetch (1-50) or "all"
- `saveDir` (optional): Directory to save media files and metadata
- `delayBetweenPosts` (optional): Milliseconds to wait between processing posts
Example:
```json

"id": 1,
"method": "call_tool",
"params": {
"name": "get_instagram_posts",
"arguments": {
"username": "example",
"limit": 10
}
}
}
```
## Error Handling

- `INVALID_PARAMS`: Missing or invalid parameters
- `METHOD_NOT_FOUND`: Unknown method or tool
- `INTERNAL_ERROR`: Server-side errors
## Development
1. Start in development mode:
```bash
npm run dev
```
2. Run linter:
```bash
npm run lint
```
