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

  • Profiles & audiences — resolve a username or user id to a full profile; page a user's followers and following; pull the "about" / account details.
  • Content — a user's posts, reels, tagged posts, live stories, highlights, and reposts; fetch any individual post or reel by id.
  • Engagement — read a post's comments and their replies; see who liked a post or a comment.
  • Discovery — hashtag top / recent / reels; a location's top & recent media; trending audio and the clips using a given audio track.
  • Search — users, hashtags, audio, places, and a universal "top" search.
  • Utilities — resolve a shortcode or URL to a media id, oEmbed a post, and check your live balance.

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.

Install — one click

The button above opens a client picker and installs herascrape-mcp wherever you run agents. For clients with native one-click install:

Get an API key (or sign in to authorize in-browser) from your herascrape dashboard.

Install — manual

Hosts that support remote MCP connect to the hosted server and authorize with a click (OAuth); no key to copy.

  • Claude Code: claude mcp add herascrape --transport http https://herascrape.com/mcp
  • Cursor / Claude Desktop / ChatGPT:
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "herascrape": { "url": "https://herascrape.com/mcp" }
  }
}
Local — npx, with an API key

For hosts that only run local (stdio) servers. Needs Node ≥ 18.

  • Claude Code:
    claude mcp add herascrape --env HERASCRAPE_API_KEY=your_key -- npx -y herascrape-mcp
  • Claude Desktop / Cursor (claude_desktop_config.json / .cursor/mcp.json):
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "herascrape": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "herascrape-mcp"],
      "env": { "HERASCRAPE_API_KEY": "your_key" }
    }
  }
}

The local bridge is a thin stdio-to-HTTP proxy to the hosted server: it forwards your key as x-api-key and relays the live tool list and calls. It defines no tools of its own.

Configuration

VariableDefaultPurpose
HERASCRAPE_API_KEY—Sent as x-api-key. Required for the local bridge.
HERASCRAPE_MCP_URLhttps://herascrape.com/mcpOverride the server URL (e.g. staging).
