Instagram MCP Platform — Multi-Account Studio & Server

Enterprise-grade Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and REST API for controlling multiple Instagram Business and Creator accounts from AI agents (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT). Powered by Vercel Serverless and Firebase Realtime Database.


Highlights

  • Multi-Account Support: Connect and command unlimited Instagram Business/Creator accounts from a single MCP endpoint. Tools accept an optional account parameter (username or ig_user_id), automatically falling back to your designated active default account.

  • Modern Admin Panel (/admin): Sleek dark-mode dashboard to connect accounts, verify Meta tokens, inspect real-time token expiration, and switch default accounts.

  • Firebase Realtime Database: Stores connected accounts, tokens, and per-account rate limit quotas safely.

  • Streamable HTTP MCP (/mcp): Stateless serverless endpoint with OAuth 2.1 authentication and RFC 8414 / RFC 9728 discovery for Claude Code, Cursor, and custom connectors.

  • 19 Agentic Tools: Feed posts, reels, stories, carousels, analytics/insights, follower demographics, optimal posting times, and AI image generation.

  • Automated Token Maintenance: Vercel Cron runs every 30 days to auto-renew 60-day Meta tokens before they reach expiration.

  • Safety First: All publishing actions default to dry_run=true to preview actions safely; rate limits are capped at 95 posts per rolling 24-hour window per account.
