Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-instagram AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

mcp-instagram

Overview

MCP server for downloading Instagram content using yt-dlp. Exposes 4 tools: download_video, download_audio, download_carousel, get_metadata. Supports stdio and HTTP streamable transports.

download_carousel also handles single image posts (GraphImage): yt-dlp raises "There is no video in this post", so image-only content (single or sidecar) is fetched via instaloader metadata + httpx.

Tech Stack: Python 3.13, FastMCP, yt-dlp, Typer, Pydantic, OpenTelemetry

Key Commands

make sync               # Install dependencies
make run ARGS='stdio'   # Run in stdio mode
make run ARGS='http'    # Run in HTTP mode
make run ARGS='skill'   # Print CLI usage guide (for LLMs/agents, stdout only)
make check              # Full quality gate (lint, format, typecheck, security, tests+coverage)
make docker-build       # Build Docker image

Project Structure

  • src/mcp_instagram.py : CLI entry point + FastMCP server + tool registrations. The skill command prints SKILL_TEXT (CLI usage guide) to stdout for agents; keep it in sync with the dl command options.
  • src/downloader.py : InstagramDownloader service (wraps yt-dlp, async via to_thread)
  • src/models.py : Pydantic models: DownloadResult, CarouselResult, MediaMetadata
  • src/config.py : Settings via pydantic-settings (MCP_INSTAGRAM_ prefix)
  • src/logging_config.py : Logging setup with rich + file output
  • src/tracing.py : OpenTelemetry tracing with JSONL export

Conventions

  • Entry point binary: mcp-instagram
  • All yt-dlp calls wrapped in asyncio.to_thread (sync yt-dlp, async interface)
  • OTel spans named instagram.<operation> (e.g., instagram.download_video)
  • Logs to mcp-instagram.log; traces to mcp-instagram-otel.log
  • Cookies: set MCP_INSTAGRAM_COOKIES_FILE to Netscape cookies.txt path
  • Settings uses extra="ignore": .env holds unrelated keys (INSTAGRAM_USERNAME/PASSWORD for scripts/list-saved.py) and pydantic-settings would otherwise raise extra_forbidden
  • Image extension comes from the HTTP Content-Type, not the URL suffix (CDN serves JPEG on .heic paths)
  • Expected yt-dlp failures (image posts in _get_metadata_sync) are silenced via _QuietYdlLogger
  • ffmpeg/ffprobe resolved through _ffbin (absolute path via shutil.which, clear RuntimeError if missing)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
