## Description
Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger DMs through official Meta Business APIs.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "setsmart": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","setsmart"]
  }
}
```

# Instagram MCP Server (also WhatsApp and Messenger)

An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that lets Claude, Cursor, Claude Code and any other MCP client read and reply to **Instagram DMs, WhatsApp messages and Facebook Messenger conversations**, through the official Meta Business APIs.

Ask your assistant to *"find the lead who asked about pricing on Instagram and send them the booking template"*, and it happens on the real account.

## Why this one is different

Most Instagram and WhatsApp MCP servers drive a personal account: a browser automation session, an unofficial bridge, or a reverse engineered mobile API. They break when Meta changes something, and they put the account at risk of being disabled.

This one talks to the **official Instagram Messaging API, WhatsApp Cloud API and Messenger Platform**, through SetSmart's Meta-approved Business app. Messaging Instagram, WhatsApp or Messenger programmatically is not possible without an approved app, which is why this bridge requires a SetSmart workspace rather than your Instagram password.

That is the tradeoff, stated plainly: it is not self-hostable against your own account, and it needs a SetSmart API key.

## Requirements

- Node.js 18 or newer
- A [SetSmart](https://setsmart.io) workspace with at least one channel connected (Instagram, WhatsApp or Messenger)
- Your workspace API key, from Settings then Integrations

## Quick start

### Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add this to your MCP config (`claude_desktop_config.json`, or `.mcp.json` for Claude Code):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "setsmart": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "setsmart-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SETSMART_API_KEY": "your-workspace-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Cursor

Same block, in `~/.cursor/mcp.json`.

### Remote MCP, without this bridge

The SetSmart MCP server is also reachable directly over Streamable HTTP with OAuth, so clients that support remote MCP can skip this package entirely:

```
https://setsmart.io/api/mcp
```

Use this bridge when your client only speaks stdio, or when you would rather authenticate with a static API key than an interactive OAuth consent.

## What it deliberately cannot do

An API key is a long lived static secret, so it gets a restricted surface. These are reachable through interactive OAuth on the remote server, never through this bridge:

- billing and subscription changes
- workspace settings
- connecting or disconnecting a channel
- creating or rewriting AI assistants
- bulk deletion, blacklists, blocked countries

Rotating the key in your SetSmart settings revokes access immediately, on the next request.

## Configuration

| Variable | Default | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `SETSMART_API_KEY` | required | Your workspace API key |
| `SETSMART_MCP_URL` | `https://setsmart.io/api/mcp` | Override the upstream endpoint |

## How it works

This package contains no messaging logic. It is a stdio to Streamable HTTP pipe: your client speaks MCP over stdin and stdout, the bridge forwards each request to the hosted SetSmart MCP server with your key in the `Authorization` header, and streams the answer back. Around 150 lines, in [`src/index.js`](https://github.com/setsmart-git/instagram-mcp/blob/HEAD/src/index.js), so you can read all of it before trusting it with an account.
