• Followers

  An account’s followers, loaded page after page.

🔌 Works in any MCP-compatible client · only the place where the config file lives is different.

1. Open the MCP settings of your client and locate its config file, usually mcp.json.
2. Put sssInstagram into the mcpServers block:
   mcp.json Copy

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "sssinstagram-mcp": {
         "type": "http",
         "url": "https://api-wh.sssinstagram.com/instagram/mcp"
       }
     }
   }

3. Save the file and restart the client to load the server.
4. Try a request in the chat:
   • Get the video from this post: instagram.com/p/…
   • Download all current stories from this account

Frequently asked questions

All about connecting sssInstagram to your AI agent.

• What is MCP?

  Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants use external tools and data. The server offers a set of tools, and the assistant chooses when to use them.

• Which AI clients can I use it with?

  Any MCP-compatible client. The setup section above walks through ChatGPT and Claude — web, desktop app and Claude Code — and gives a universal config for the rest.

• Can it access private accounts?

  No. It only fetches publicly available content, just like the website does.

• How does it differ from the REST API?

  The data is the same; the consumer is not. The REST API serves code you write, while MCP serves an AI agent that decides by itself when to download something.
