StoriesIG Instagram MCP Server

Hosted Model Context Protocol server for public Instagram data. Connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client and your AI agent reads public profiles, posts, reels, comments, likers, followers, live stories and highlights, and gets direct video links in original quality.

Server URL: https://api-wh.storiesig.info/instagram/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Auth: OAuth — a sign-in window opens the first time you connect
Docs and pricing: https://storiesig.info/en/mcp/

Nothing to install or host: no Instagram login, no proxies, no scraper to maintain.
