StoriesIG Instagram MCP Server

Hosted Model Context Protocol server for public Instagram data. Connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client and your AI agent reads public profiles, posts, reels, comments, likers, followers, live stories and highlights, and gets direct video links in original quality.

  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Auth: OAuth — a sign-in window opens the first time you connect
