This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add instagram-mcp -- npx -y @mcpware/instagram-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: INSTAGRAM_ACCESS_TOKEN (Meta long-lived access token for Instagram Graph API), INSTAGRAM_ACCOUNT_ID (Instagram business account ID), INSTAGRAM_API_VERSION (Instagram Graph API version (default: v19.0)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Instagram MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Instagram MCP?
Instagram MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @mcpware/instagram-mcp was installed 123 times last week.
How do I connect Instagram MCP?
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 runs locally, so the command pulls @mcpware/instagram-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Instagram MCP?
The npm package @mcpware/instagram-mcp was installed 123 times in the last week. Week over week that is +149%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Instagram MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 36 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
