What the publisher says
From the herascrape repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
herascrape-mcp
Instagram data for AI agents, over the Model Context Protocol. Point Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code, or any MCP client at herascrape-mcp and it can read public Instagram profiles, content, engagement, and search results directly — no scraping code, no browser, no login.
Every endpoint is one tool, generated from the live API, so the tool list never drifts from what the server serves. It is read-only, cursor-paginated, and flat $0.0004 per successful call (only 2xx is billed). Powered by the herascrape Instagram API.
What agents can do with it
page a user's followers and following; pull the "about" / account details.
- Profiles & audiences — resolve a username or user id to a full profile;
and reposts; fetch any individual post or reel by id.
- Content — a user's posts, reels, tagged posts, live stories, highlights,
post or a comment.
- Engagement — read a post's comments and their replies; see who liked a
media; trending audio and the clips using a given audio track.
- Discovery — hashtag top / recent / reels; a location's top & recent
check your live balance.
- Search — users, hashtags, audio, places, and a universal "top" search.
- Utilities — resolve a shortcode or URL to a media id, oEmbed a post, and
Agents reach for these when a task needs what's actually on Instagram right now — audience research, competitor and campaign tracking, influencer vetting, trend and hashtag analysis, enriching a profile or a post.
