Open Threads 🧵

Your own Meta Threads account for AI agents: headless CLI, MCP server, and local API.

Node.js Version License: MIT MCP Compatible

Open Threads is an open-source bridge that connects your signed-in Meta Threads account to autonomous AI agents (such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, and OpenCode).

By providing a headless CLI, an MCP Server, and a local REST API, it empowers AI agents to browse feeds, scrape user profiles, analyze discussion topics, check pinned posts, publish new threads, attach media, reply, like, repost, and bookmark without needing a graphical user interface.

🌟 Key Capabilities

🔐 Zero-Credential-Exposure Authentication: Log in once using a normal, visible browser session. Your cookies and profile are stored safely in ~/.open-threads/chrome-profile on your machine.
🤖 Built for AI Agents: Native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so coding agents can invoke Threads tools directly from chat.
📄 Complete Profile & Pinned Post Scraping: Extract display names, handles, bios, follower counts, verified badges, avatars, profile links, and pinned threads.
🧵 Full Thread & Reply Tree Inspection: Retrieve complete discussion threads, timestamps, view counts, like/reply/repost statistics, and nested replies.
🔎 Topic & Community Search: Discover discussions in communities (e.g. #study, #tech, #ai), with sorting by Top or Recent.
✍️ Publishing & Interactions:
- Publish threads with text and image/video uploads.
- Reply to any thread post.
- React/like or unlike posts.
- Repost or quote repost.
- Save / bookmark posts.
- Follow or unfollow profiles.
⚡ Background Daemon & Job Queue: Run open-threads serve to maintain a persistent browser instance with sub-second command response times.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Installation

Clone and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/mkshaonexe/open-threads.git
cd open-threads
npm install

Launch the sign-in window:

node bin/cli.js login

A visible Chrome window opens to https://www.threads.net/login. Log in using your Instagram / Threads credentials, security key, or QR code. Once signed in, Open Threads detects your authenticated state and closes the window. All future commands run headlessly.

Verify your session:

node bin/cli.js status

Print your local API key:

node bin/cli.js key
