Quick Start

1. Install and build

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd social-analytics-mcp
   npm install
   npm run build

2. Get an access token from the Graph API Explorer with permissions:

   • Instagram: instagram_basic, instagram_manage_insights, pages_read_engagement

   • Facebook: read_insights, pages_read_engagement

3. Add to your MCP client (see configuration below)

Configuration

You only need to configure access tokens for the platforms you want to use. Account and page IDs can be discovered using the built-in tools.

Available Tools

Instagram Tools

Facebook Tools

Common Parameters

Most Instagram tools accept an optional account_id parameter. If not provided, the account is auto-detected from the INSTAGRAM_ACCOUNT_ID environment variable or discovered automatically if only one account exists.

Most Facebook tools accept an optional page_id parameter with similar auto-detection behavior via FACEBOOK_PAGE_ID.

Available Prompts

Programmatic Usage

import { InstagramClient, FacebookClient, createServer } from 'social-analytics-mcp';

// Use clients directly
const instagram = new InstagramClient({
  accessToken: 'your_token',
  accountId: 'optional_account_id',
});
const profile = await instagram.getUserProfile();

// Or create an MCP server programmatically
const server = createServer();

Troubleshooting

"Access token is invalid"

• Ensure your token has the required permissions

• Short-lived tokens expire in 1 hour — generate a long-lived token

"No Instagram Business account found"

• Your Instagram account must be a Business or Creator account

• It must be connected to a Facebook Page

"Unsupported metric"

• Some metrics are media-type specific (e.g., avg_time_watched only works for videos/reels)

• Use facebook_list_known_metrics to see supported Facebook metrics

Rate limits

• Instagram: 200 calls/hour per user token

• The server automatically retries on 429/5xx with exponential backoff
