balance

check_balance

Free. Show the remaining credit balance for the API key sent in this connection's Authorization header. Call this before a long run of paid requests.

topup

topup_credits

Paid (the amount you choose, minimum $1). Buy prepaid credits with x402 so later calls skip the per-call payment round trip. With an Authorization: Bearer bby_live_... header on this connection it recharges that key. Without one, the paying wallet becomes the account and a new API key is minted and returned once — store it as a secret, it cannot be recovered.

Instagram data for agents — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Instagram data for agents do?

It exposes 18 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_balance, instagram_audio_posts, instagram_hashtag_posts, instagram_hashtag_reels, instagram_location_posts, instagram_post_code and 12 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Instagram data for agents working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 86 of 91 checks got a reply (94.5%), average response time 429 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Did Instagram data for agents ever remove tools?

Yes. appstore_apps, google_maps_place_search, google_news_search, googleplay_apps and 9 more are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

How do I connect Instagram data for agents?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Instagram data for agents need an API key?

No. Instagram data for agents completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 18 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Instagram data for agents?

It answers our handshake in 429 ms on average, which is faster than 37% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
