Pith — Instagram publishing

Pith — the Instagram MCP server

Publish to Instagram from the chat you are already in.

A hosted remote MCP server for Instagram Business and Creator accounts. Your assistant posts your photo with your caption, on your say-so, through the official Instagram Graph API. Nothing to install, no API key to paste, no password to hand over.

Add it

Your client will ask for a remote MCP server URL. This is it:

https://pith.day/api/mcp

Streamable HTTP. Sign-in happens in your browser over OAuth 2.1 — the server issues the token, the client never sees a password of yours.

Claude (web, desktop, mobile)

1. Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
2. Paste the address above and connect.
3. Sign in with email or Google when Claude opens pith.day, and approve what it asks for.

Claude Code

1. Add it once, then /mcp to sign in.

claude mcp add --transport http pith https://pith.day/api/mcp

Cursor, VS Code, and other config-file clients

1. Add the server to your MCP config:

{

"mcpServers": { "pith": { "type": "http", "url": "https://pith.day/api/mcp" } } }

Anything else

1. Wherever the app asks for a remote MCP server, paste the address.
2. Transport: streamable HTTP. Auth: OAuth — Dynamic Client Registration and Client ID Metadata Documents both work, so most clients need no manual setup at all.

First run

1. whoami — shows nothing is connected yet.
2. connect my instagram — the server hands back a single-use link into Instagram's official login. Approve there, and you land back on a done page.
3. whoami again — your account, with canPublish: true.
4. post this photo with this caption — it is live on Instagram. The reply tells you the exact caption that was posted and links the post.

An Instagram Business or Creator account is required — that is Meta's rule for API publishing, not ours. Switching a personal account over is free and takes a minute in the Instagram app.

What it does

What you actually say

Real sentences, from the mornings this was built for.

How this differs from the other Instagram MCP servers

---

The tools

The full list, generated from the live server — not a highlight reel. The permission column is what your client is granted at connect time.

Your account

How the assistant finds you and which business it's working on.

The daily drafts

The morning inbox, by chat. This is where most of the day happens.

Publishing

Your own content publishes free; drafts only ever from one you approved. The same rule as the app.

The week ahead

Plan posts by date without opening the calendar.

Your Brand DNA

The voice every draft is written from. Describe the change in words.

Photos & products

The raw material the daily drafts are built from.

Your daily flow

Which loop feeds the mornings. Recycling, a campaign, products, or fresh ideas.

Plan & billing

Read-only, except for handing you a checkout link. Nothing is ever charged by the assistant.

Settings

The switches you'd otherwise hunt for in the app.

View, edit and publish are granted by default; checkout only if a client asks for it. Every connection is listed in Settings → Connected apps on pith.day, and disconnecting cuts it off immediately.

Things worth knowing before you connect

What it costs

The connector is included on every plan, free one included. There is no separate MCP fee and no card needed to start.

Security and privacy

• OAuth 2.1 authorization server run by pith.day: PKCE S256, Dynamic Client Registration, Client ID Metadata Documents, opaque tokens stored hashed.
• Scopes are granular — view, edit, publish, checkout — and shown to
