Instagram
for AI agents.
Instagram integration for AI agents with secure authentication and server-side credential injection. Open Connector runs the OAuth, seals the token in an encrypted vault, and serves Instagram tools to your agent over MCP or a typed API — credentials injected server-side, every call audited, nothing leaving your infrastructure. Open source (AGPL-3.0) and self-hostable.
Real Instagram actions, managed and audited.
Your user connects Instagram once; your agent can then publish media, read insights and comments, and manage professional-account messaging through the Instagram Graph API — scoped to the OAuth permissions you grant and the tool allowlist you configure. Every action is least-privilege and written to a tamper-evident audit trail.
- 01Connect
Your user grants Instagram access once (OAuth) — the token lands in the vault.
- 02Call
Your agent calls a tool over MCP or the typed API; Open Connector injects the credential server-side.
- 03Audit
Every routed call appends a hash-chained audit record — nothing leaves your infra.

Instagram integration, answered
- How do AI agents use Instagram through Open Connector?
- Your user connects Instagram once with one of its cataloged authentication methods. Open Connector stores the credential in an encrypted vault and exposes Instagram tools to your agent over MCP or a typed API, with credentials injected server-side on each call.
- Is this a Instagram MCP server?
- Yes. Open Connector can serve Instagram as a named MCP server with a scoped allowlist and a per-user connection URL, so any MCP client can call Instagram actions with credentials injected server-side.
- Where do Instagram credentials live?
- In your own infrastructure. Open Connector keeps credentials in its own vault and injects them at call time, so they never leave your environment.
Give your agents Instagram — keep the keys.
