"twitter:title": "Instagram MCP Server for Claude and ChatGPT" --- # Instagram MCP Server Let Your AI Plan Your Instagram Week Connect Postpone to Claude, ChatGPT, or the AI you already use, and it can turn your content library into scheduled posts, carousels, Reels, and Stories, move them when plans change, and tell you which ones reached the most people. [**Try Postpone for Free**](https://www.postpone.app/signup) Works with any MCP client - [![Claude](https://www.postpone.app/images/ai-clients/claude.svg)Claude](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/claude) - [![ChatGPT](https://www.postpone.app/images/ai-clients/chatgpt.svg)ChatGPT](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/chatgpt) - [![Cursor](https://www.postpone.app/images/brands/icons/cursor.svg)Cursor](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/cursor) - [![Gemini](https://www.postpone.app/images/ai-clients/gemini.svg)Gemini](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/gemini) - [![Perplexity](https://www.postpone.app/images/ai-clients/perplexity.svg)Perplexity](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/perplexity) - [![Grok](https://www.postpone.app/images/llms/grok.svg)Grok](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/grok) - [![OpenClaw](https://www.postpone.app/images/brands/icons/openclaw.svg)OpenClaw](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/openclaw) - [![Zapier](https://www.postpone.app/images/ai-clients/zapier.svg)Zapier](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/zapier) Claude Turn the new collection shoot into a week of Instagram posts **Checked with Postpone** Here is a week for @haldenstudio from the shoot, ready to schedule: - Monday 11:00 AM, a carousel of five photos from the shoot - Wednesday 6:00 PM, the behind-the-scenes clip as a Reel - Friday 9:00 AM, a Story with the close-up of the new print Every file comes from your content library. Shall I schedule all three? **ChatGPT** Which Instagram accounts can you post to? **Checked with Postpone** You have two Instagram accounts connected to Postpone: - @haldenstudio, with six posts scheduled - @halden.makes, with nothing scheduled @halden.makes has been quiet. Want me to schedule a Reel for it from your library? ## **Connect Instagram to Your AI** ### Every Instagram Account, One Conversation Away Connect your Instagram Business or Creator accounts to Postpone once, then add Postpone to your AI. From then on it can post to any of them, and everything it schedules sits on your Postpone calendar where you and your team can see it. [**Postpone for AI Agents **](https://www.postpone.app/use-cases/agents) Claude That carousel looks good, so schedule it for tomorrow at noon **Scheduled in Postpone** The carousel is scheduled for tomorrow at 12:00 PM on @haldenstudio: - The seven photos from this morning’s upload - A caption that opens on the finished piece and ends on a question - Five hashtags at the end of the caption Want a Story the same evening with one of the close-ups? ## **Schedule Instagram Posts in Claude** ### A Carousel From One Conversation Tell your AI which photos or videos to use and what the post is for. It finds the files in your content library, writes the caption, shows you the post, and schedules a feed post, a carousel, a Reel, or a Story at the time you pick once you say yes, or saves it as a draft. [**The Instagram Scheduler **](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/instagram-post-scheduler) **ChatGPT** The launch is pushed back a week, so move the Instagram posts **Updated in Postpone** All three launch posts are a week later now: - The teaser Reel moved from Tuesday to the following Tuesday at 6:00 PM - The close-up Story moved to the following Thursday at 8:00 AM - The launch carousel moved to the following Friday, and “this Friday” now reads “next Friday” Nothing else on the calendar moved. Want something to fill the gap this week? ## **Manage Instagram Posts in ChatGPT** ### Push a Launch Back in One Message When a launch slips or a shoot runs late, tell your AI. It finds the Instagram posts affected, moves them to the new day, and rewrites any caption that still names the old one, so a change of plan costs one message instead of an evening of dragging posts around. Claude Which Instagram posts reached the most people last month? **Checked with Postpone** Your top three @haldenstudio posts by reach last month: - The studio tour Reel, 18,600 accounts reached and 412 shares - The “before and after” carousel, 9,400 accounts reached and 186 comments - The glaze test Reel, 7,900 accounts reached and 131 shares Both Reels show work in progress at the studio. Want me to find two more clips like them in your library? ## **Instagram Analytics in Claude** ### See Which Instagram Posts Reach New People Ask which posts worked and get an answer instead of a dashboard: views, reach, likes, comments, shares, and profile visits for every post, and how each account’s following has moved. The same AI can schedule, so the posts worth repeating become next week’s calendar. [**Postpone Analytics **](https://www.postpone.app/features/analytics) ## What Your AI Can Do on Instagram All of it in plain language, on your real Instagram accounts, and every result shows up in Postpone. - ### Post Every Instagram Format Feed posts, carousels, Reels, and Stories, each scheduled as the format you ask for, so a week of content does not have to be a week of the same square photo. - ### Use What Is in Your Library Your AI picks photos and videos from your Content Library, including only files you have never posted to Instagram, or attaches them from a link. - ### Draft First, Publish Later Ask for drafts and nothing goes out until you have looked at it. Or send a post to your queue and it takes the next open slot in your Instagram schedule. - ### Change the Calendar by Asking Move, edit, or delete scheduled Instagram posts in a sentence. Your AI can check what else is scheduled that week before it moves anything. - ### Find the Posts That Travel Views, reach, likes, comments, shares, and profile visits for every post, ranked however you ask, and what the best ones have in common. - ### Track Follower Growth See how each Instagram account’s following has moved by day, week, or month, and which posts were going out when it jumped. ## Use Instagram MCP With the AI You Already Use Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and other MCP clients all connect to the same Postpone server, so your Instagram calendar goes wherever you already work. - [![Claude logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/brands/icons/claude.svg)**Claude**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/claude) - [![ChatGPT logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/llms/openai.svg)**ChatGPT**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/chatgpt) - [![Gemini logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/llms/gemini.svg)**Gemini**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/gemini) - [![Grok logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/llms/grok.svg)**Grok**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/grok) - [![Perplexity logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/llms/perplexity.svg)**Perplexity**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/perplexity) - [![Mistral Vibe logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/llms/mistral.svg)**Mistral Vibe**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/mistral-vibe) - [![Microsoft Copilot logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/llms/copilot.svg)**Microsoft Copilot**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/microsoft-copilot) - [![Muse logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/llms/muse.svg)**Muse**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/muse) - [![Cursor logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/brands/icons/cursor.svg)**Cursor**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/cursor) - [![VS Code logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/brands/icons/vscode.svg)**VS Code**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/vscode) - [![OpenClaw logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/brands/icons/openclaw.svg)**OpenClaw**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/openclaw) - [![n8n logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/brands/icons/n8n.svg)**n8n**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/n8n) - [![Raycast logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/brands/icons/raycast.png)**Raycast**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/raycast) - [![Zapier logo](https://www.postpone.app/images/brands/zapier-icon.svg)**Zapier**](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/zapier) [**Browse all integrations **](https://www.postpone.app/integrations) ## Take Your AI Beyond Instagram The same connection to Postpone reaches ten more platforms, so one chat can plan the whole week.

Still have questions? Check out our help center for answers to most of your questions, or reach out to our support team. [**Visit the Help Center **](https://help.postpone.app/) [**Contact us **](https://www.postpone.app/contact) ### **What is an Instagram MCP server?** An Instagram MCP server lets an AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT work with your Instagram accounts through the Model Context Protocol, the open standard AI clients use to call outside tools. Postpone’s is hosted, so there is nothing to install: you connect Instagram to Postpone, add Postpone to your AI, and it can schedule posts and read your Instagram analytics. [**Read the MCP guide **](https://help.postpone.app/ai/agents-and-mcp/introduction) ### **Can I schedule Instagram posts with ChatGPT or Claude?** Yes, Postpone lets you schedule Instagram feed posts, carousels, Reels, and Stories from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, or any other MCP client. Ask for a post, confirm it, and it lands on your Postpone calendar at the time you named, as a draft, or in the next open slot of your Instagram schedule. In ChatGPT, adding Postpone takes developer mode, which OpenAI offers on its paid plans. [**Postpone for ChatGPT **](https://www.postpone.app/integrations/chatgpt) ### **Which Instagram accounts work with the MCP server?** Postpone’s MCP server works with Instagram Business and Creator accounts, because those are the only accounts Instagram lets any tool schedule for. Stories are the one difference: they work on Business accounts and on Creator accounts connected through Instagram Login, but not on Creator accounts connected through Facebook. [**Connecting an Instagram account **](https://help.postpone.app/platforms/instagram/connecting-instagram) ### **Can the AI read my Instagram DMs or reply to comments?** No, Postpone’s Instagram MCP server does not read your direct messages, reply to comments, search hashtags, or look up other people’s profiles. It works on the posts of the accounts you connect: scheduling them, changing the calendar, and reporting how they performed. It never scrapes Instagram or logs in as you; Postpone publishes through the Instagram connection you approved yourself. ### **Can my AI add collaborators, music, or a first comment?** Not through the AI, though Postpone schedules all three. Your AI sets the post type, the caption, and the photos or videos; collaborators, a first comment, music on a Reel, a cover image, and trial Reels are added in Postpone’s Instagram composer, where every post your AI schedules is waiting to edit before it goes out. [**Scheduling Instagram posts **](https://help.postpone.app/platforms/instagram/scheduling-posts) ### **Which Instagram metrics can my AI see?** Your AI can see views, reach, likes, comments, shares, profile visits, and total engagements for every Instagram post Postpone tracks, plus follower counts over time for each account. Ask for your best posts by any of them over any period your plan’s analytics history covers, or compare one account against another. [**See what analytics covers **](https://www.postpone.app/features/analytics) ### **Can my AI schedule Instagram carousels, Reels, and Stories?** Yes, your AI can schedule Instagram feed posts, carousels, Reels, and Stories, choosing the format you ask for. A Story goes out as the image or video alone, with no caption or stickers, and a Reel your AI schedules shows in your Reels tab; to share it to your main grid as well, switch that on for the post in Postpone’s Instagram composer. [**The Instagram scheduler **](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/instagram-post-scheduler) ### **Does every Instagram post my AI schedules need an image or video?** Yes, every Instagram post needs an image or a video, because Instagram has no text-only posts. Your AI can pick one from your Postpone content library, including files you have never posted to Instagram, or take it from a link.
