Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant search Instagram and retrieve posts, with images and videos parsed into text.

What it does
This remote MCP server gives an assistant Instagram search and post retrieval, returning posts whose images and videos are parsed into text so the assistant can read them. It is hosted at a remote endpoint, so no local package is installed. The manifest does not list individual tools.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs Instagram content, such as finding posts on a topic or pulling post media as text for summarization or research. It is not meant for general web search or non-Instagram sources.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint reached over streamable HTTP; no local runtime or package. An API key is required in the Authorization header as a Bearer token, obtained from the provider, which offers 10 free credits. Network access to the endpoint is needed.
Before you install
The Authorization header carries a secret API key, so keep it out of logs and shared configs. The provider mentions free credits, implying paid usage beyond them, so check pricing before heavy use. Queries and retrieved content go to a third-party service, and the server reads public Instagram data rather than acting on your account.
