Your AI drives.
We set the speed limit.

Instagram restricts accounts that act like bots: DMs at machine speed, bursts of messages to strangers. inboxmcp enforces safe limits on every app and API key you connect, so you don't have to think about it.

Human pacing

Instagram messages are spaced 10 to 20 seconds apart, at random. No bursts, even when your assistant is in a hurry.

Automatic cooldowns

If Instagram pushes back, the account pauses on its own and resumes when it's safe. Your assistant is told why.

You stay in control

Choose what each app may do. Sending is off until you allow it, and access can be revoked anytime.

You hold the key

Nothing leaves without your OK.

Every app starts read-only. Sending stays locked until you open it, app by app, and you can lock it again in one click.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is the inboxMCP Instagram MCP server?

A hosted MCP server that connects your Instagram account to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any other MCP app, so your assistant can read your Instagram DMs, sort collab requests and draft your replies. Every message goes out at a human pace, inside safe daily limits.

Is it safe to use Instagram with ChatGPT or Claude?

Instagram restricts accounts that act like bots: DMs at machine speed, bursts of messages to strangers. inboxMCP spaces Instagram messages 10 to 20 seconds apart at random, keeps messages and new conversations within safe daily limits, and pauses the account if Instagram pushes back. No tool can promise that Instagram will never restrict an account, but this is what lowers the risk the most.

How do I connect Instagram?

Can my AI send messages without my approval?

Not unless you allow it. Every app starts read-only: sending stays locked until you open it, app by app, and you can lock it again or revoke an app's access in one click.

Which AI apps work with inboxMCP?

Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor and any other app that supports remote MCP servers. Paste https://inbox-mcp.com/mcp into the app and sign in. Agents and scripts can use an API key instead.

What is an MCP server?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard AI apps use to call outside tools. You add the inboxMCP server URL to your AI app once, and it can then use your connected accounts through the tools you allow.

How much does it cost?

Every connected account is $10 a month, whatever the network, after a 3-day free trial that needs no card. Every tool and every AI app are included.

Use Instagram with AI. Safely.

Connect once. Every AI app you use gets the same safe limits.
