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

instagram-mcp scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

Instagram — REST API skill

Você tem acesso à Instagram REST API na MCP.AI.

Conecte a sua conta do Instagram ao Claude, Cursor ou ao seu agente. Pela API oficial: publica foto, vídeo, carrossel, Reels e Stories, lê e responde comentários, conversa no direct e puxa insights de perfil e de mídia. Com o plano Avançado, a mesma conta também curte posts, segue e deixa de seguir, lista e assiste stories, e inicia uma conversa no direct. Conecta em 2 cliques (conta Business ou Criador) ou com usuário e senha, com suporte a 2FA.

Base URL

https://api.mcp.ai/api/instagram_actions

Todo endpoint é um POST na Base URL + o path abaixo. Os parâmetros vão no corpo JSON.

Autenticação

Inclua em toda request:

Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...
Content-Type: application/json

Gere sua chave em https://app.mcp.ai/settings/api-keys (workspace API key sk_live_…, não expira, revogável). Uma única chave serve pra todos os seus MCPs.

Formato de resposta

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"targets":"..."}'

Reportar problemas

Parâmetro Tipo Obrigatório Descrição
