What Claude can do with Instagram

Instagram Insights is a phone-shaped tool for a question that needs comparison: is this month better than last, and did any of it reach the website. Claude does the comparison and joins it to your analytics.

Reading your data
  • Per-post and per-format performance

    Reach, impressions and engagement across posts, carousels and reels, compared against your own baseline.

  • Follower growth and audience

    How the account is actually growing, and which content acquires followers rather than just impressions.

  • Instagram traffic to your site

    Read against GA4 so Claude can tell you whether the bio link ever gets used.

Coming soon
  • Replying to comments and DMs

    Comment and message management is in testing and not available yet.

A real Instagram question, start to finish

You talk to Claude. Claude steps out to datanephew when it needs your actual Instagram data.

  • Which of my Instagram posts did best this month?
  • Do reels or carousels work better for my account?
  • Is anyone actually clicking the link in my bio?
  • Am I gaining followers or just impressions?
  • What time should I be posting?
  • Did my Instagram push move anything on the website?

Are reels worth the effort compared to normal posts?

Setup: authorise, paste, ask

Most Instagram MCP setups you'll find want you to clone a GitHub repo, install dependencies, manage credentials in a config file, and keep a local server running on your own machine. This one doesn't.

1

Authorise Instagram

Connect an Instagram professional account directly, or get it with a linked Facebook Page.

2

Paste one connector URL into Claude

Add your personal connector URL in Claude's settings. That's the whole install — nothing runs on your machine, and there's nothing to keep alive or update.

3

Ask

Open a conversation and ask about your Instagram data the way you'd ask a person. Claude remembers what you looked at last time.

What's free and what's Pro

Your own numbers are free. Anything about data you don't own — competitors, keywords you're not ranking for yet, who links to whom — is Pro.

Instagram is free, permanently
  • Everything on this page costs nothing. Instagram reads data you already own, so it stays on the free tier.
  • No credit card, no trial clock, no row limits.
  • Pro ($9/mo) adds research into data you don't own — keyword demand, competitor rankings, backlink profiles.
  • Pro also lets Claude act on what it finds: page titles, meta descriptions, tracking tags, sitemap submission.
