How do I connect the Instagram API with Modiva?
Create a Modiva account, generate an MCP key, and connect Instagram from your dashboard. Modiva runs the full OAuth flow and stores the encrypted token for you — no client secrets in your code.
What can I do with the Instagram API through Modiva?
Publish posts & reels, manage comments and DMs. You get 18 typed tools grouped by resource (accounts_, posts_, comments_, messages_, analytics_), callable over REST or the MCP server.
Do I need to handle OAuth or token refresh myself?
No. Modiva handles the Instagram OAuth handshake, token storage (envelope-encrypted) and automatic refresh. You call a single unified endpoint.
Can an AI agent use the Instagram API?
Yes — that is the point. Modiva exposes Instagram as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, so agents like Claude, Cursor or your own app can read and act on Instagram through one endpoint.
