How to integrate Instagram MCP with Cursor

Cursor is one of the leading AI-powered code editors. It is built to help developers write, understand, and refactor code faster with AI assistance built directly into the editor.

And in this guide, I will explain the easiest and most secure way to connect your Instagram account to Cursor via Composio Connect, so it can get analytics for last week's posts, list your most recent Instagram photos, fetch comments on your latest post, and more without ever putting your account credentials at risk.

Why Composio?

1,000+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. Skip the work of building and maintaining integrations, Composio gives you instant access to a vast catalog of pre-built connectors.
One MCP server for every app. Connect any of your applications on demand through a single endpoint, rather than juggling a separate server for each app.
Smart, context-aware tool loading. Unlike traditional MCP servers that dump every available tool into the LLM context window, Composio searches for and loads only the tools relevant to the task at hand. A remote CLI workbench lets LLMs compose these tools into workflows for complex automation.

Two ways to install — pick whichever you prefer.

1. Install with one click

2. Or add manually

Add to your Cursor mcp.json

Open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global config) and add the following configuration:

bash

{
  "servers": {
    "composio": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"

A browser window will open to authorize.

Connect your Instagram account

Back in Cursor, ask the agent to connect to Instagram or give it any Instagram-related task.

For example, ask it to:

"Get analytics for last week's posts"
"List your most recent Instagram photos"
"Fetch comments on your latest post"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access to Instagram.

That is it. Composio tools are now available in Cursor, and your Instagram account is ready to use.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Instagram MCP?

With a standalone Instagram MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Instagram tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Instagram and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Can I use Tool Router MCP with Cursor?

Yes, you can. Cursor fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Instagram tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Instagram while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Instagram scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Instagram data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.

Karan skipped his own birthday party to fix our critical issue. It was 10 pm and he diverted his Waymo to help us instead. This really sets the bar, shows you the commitment you need to have when users rely on your software.

Abhi AryaCo-founder, Opennote

A lot of students tell us that the moment their connected tools start talking to each other inside Opennote feels almost magical. The agent just knows them, and it has immensely helped in keeping new users on the platform.

Nirman DaveCEO, Zams

We chose Composio over Pipedream because it delivered depth where it mattered. It supported niche tools and tricky edge cases that other platforms simply ignored. Giving us confidence to scale without compromising.

Ryan YuFounder, Extra Thursday

As a solo builder, shipping fast is life or death. The only way I can outcompete incumbents is by outmanoeuvring them. Getting bogged down in the complexities of managing agent auth would have been a death sentence for Extra Thursday.

Tomisin JenrolaFounder & CEO, SwarmZero

Before partnering with Composio, adding tool integrations was a slow, resource-intensive process. Each integration could take weeks or months of engineering time, and maintaining them meant constantly keeping up with API changes.
