Implementation Reference

  • The handler logic within the CallToolRequestSchema request handler that executes the get_instagram_profile tool: makes an API call to Sociavault's Instagram profile endpoint using the provided handle, extracts data with extractInstagramProfile, and returns formatted JSON.
    if (name === "get_instagram_profile") {
      const { handle } = args as { handle: string };
      const response = await axios.get(`${BASE_URL}/instagram/profile`, {
        headers: { "X-API-Key": API_KEY },
        params: { handle },
      });
      const extracted = extractInstagramProfile(response.data);
      return {
        content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(extracted, null, 2) }],
      };
    }
  • src/index.ts:212-222 (registration)
    Registration of the get_instagram_profile tool in the tools array used by the MCP server's ListToolsRequestSchema handler.
    {
      name: "get_instagram_profile",
      description: "Get Instagram profile data",
      inputSchema: {
        type: "object",
        properties: {
          handle: { type: "string", description: "Instagram username" },
        },
        required: ["handle"],
      },
    },
  • Input schema definition for the get_instagram_profile tool, specifying a required 'handle' string parameter.
    inputSchema: {
      type: "object",
      properties: {
        handle: { type: "string", description: "Instagram username" },
      },
      required: ["handle"],
    },
  • Helper function that parses and extracts key Instagram profile fields from the raw API response data.
    function extractInstagramProfile(data: any) {
      const user = data?.data?.user || data?.user || {};
      return {
        username: user.username,
        full_name: user.full_name,
        biography: user.biography,
        followers: user.edge_followed_by?.count || 0,
        following: user.edge_follow?.count || 0,
        posts_count: user.edge_owner_to_timeline_media?.count || 0,
        is_verified: user.is_verified,
        is_private: user.is_private,
        is_business: user.is_business_account,
        external_url: user.external_url,
        profile_pic_url: user.profile_pic_url,
      };
    }
