MCP server
Instagram MCP server
Instagram has no official MCP server; Meta's own MCP work is aimed at ad accounts, not organic publishing. Modiva closes that gap with a hosted Instagram MCP server: 18 typed tools for publishing posts, Reels and Stories, replying to comments and DMs, and reading insights, available to any MCP client with a single key.
Publishing to Instagram programmatically normally means a Meta developer app, app review, the Graph API's container-based upload flow and business-account token juggling. Modiva already runs a reviewed Meta app, so an agent connected through the MCP server skips all of it: it calls posts_create with a caption and media URL and Modiva handles containers, publishing windows and token refresh behind the scenes.
18 typed Instagram tools
Grouped by resource, not by platform — so the same tool names work across every connected account.

Can an AI agent post Reels through the Instagram MCP server?
Yes. The posts_ tools accept video media for Reels as well as image posts, carousels and Stories. The agent supplies a caption and a media URL; Modiva runs the Graph API upload-container flow and publishes when Instagram finishes processing.
Do I need my own Meta developer app or app review?
No. Modiva owns the reviewed Meta app and requests the scopes during OAuth. You connect your Instagram account once from the dashboard and every MCP key in your workspace can use it.
Which Instagram account types are supported?
Business and creator accounts, because Instagram's Graph API only allows API publishing for those. A personal account can be switched to creator in the Instagram app settings in about a minute.
Can the agent manage comments and DMs?
Yes. comments_list and comments_reply cover post comments, and the messages_ tools read and answer DMs, so an agent can run engagement follow-up as well as publishing.
