# Your Instagram. In your agent.

Source: https://corespeed.io/integrations/instagram

Connect an Instagram Business or Creator account to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP agent through CoreSpeed. Your agent reads your posts, their insights and comments, and your DMs, then drafts captions and replies you review. Publishing a post, replying to a comment or sending a DM reaches people, so each is a separate call approvals can hold.

## Set up an agent

Give your agent this line: `set up https://corespeed.io/SKILL.md (read it raw, e.g. with curl)`

It fetches the skill at https://corespeed.io/SKILL.md, adds the CoreSpeed MCP server, signs you in (or up), and keeps the skill for next time. Connect Instagram after setup. Access follows the connected account and its permissions. Create an account: https://app.corespeed.io/sign-up

## Every comment read. Every reply yours

Let your agent read your latest posts and their comments, find the questions that need you, and draft the replies for you to approve.

You ask your agent: "Read the comments on my latest Instagram post. List the questions that need a reply and draft each reply in my voice. Do not post anything."

It calls CoreSpeed:

- `instagram__get_ig_user_media`: ok, 402 ms
- `instagram__get_ig_media_comments`: ok, 517 ms

It reads from: Instagram.

### Comment replies: Three questions, three drafts.

Most comments are praise. Three ask about sizing and a restock date.

**Needs a reply**

- Stewart: does the medium run large?
- Dylan: when is the jacket back in stock?

**Draft replies**

- It runs a little large. If you are between sizes, pick the smaller one.
- Back next week. Turn on post notifications to see it first.

## Keep your agent. Bring your work

One CoreSpeed account, across compatible agents.

1. **Set up CoreSpeed**: Give your agent the setup line. It adds CoreSpeed and signs you in.
2. **Connect Instagram**: Authorize the account and the content you need.
3. **Start with one task**: Ask for a summary, a brief, or a draft. Review the answer.

## Questions

### Does this work with a personal Instagram account?

No. Instagram allows this only for Business and Creator accounts. Switch your account type in the Instagram app first.

### Can my agent publish a post?

Yes, in two calls: one prepares the media and one publishes it. Approvals can hold the publish for a person. How approvals work: https://corespeed.io/docs/approvals

### Can it start a new DM?

No. It reads your DM conversations and replies inside ones that already exist, within Instagram's messaging window.

### Do I have to switch agents?

No. CoreSpeed adds tools to the agent you already use: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another MCP client. Each one signs in once.

### Can my agent access every account in our organization?

No. Access follows your CoreSpeed identity, each connection's visibility, and the app's own permissions. Personal connections stay private.

### Does this work without connecting an account?

No. Connect the app's account first; your CoreSpeed workspace shows what each app needs. The examples on this page use fictional data. All connectors: https://corespeed.io/docs/connectors
