Description from the maker (original English)
Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger DMs through official Meta Business APIs.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.
Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.
SETSMART_API_KEYValues marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

An MCP server that lets Claude, Cursor, Claude Code and any other MCP client read and reply to Instagram DMs, WhatsApp messages and Facebook Messenger conversations, through the official Meta Business APIs.
Ask your assistant to *"find the lead who asked about pricing on Instagram and send them the booking template"*, and it happens on the real account.
Most Instagram and WhatsApp MCP servers drive a personal account: a browser automation session, an unofficial bridge, or a reverse engineered mobile API. They break when Meta changes something, and they put the account at risk of being disabled.
This one talks to the official Instagram Messaging API, WhatsApp Cloud API and Messenger Platform, through SetSmart's Meta-approved Business app. Messaging Instagram, WhatsApp or Messenger programmatically is not possible without an approved app, which is why this bridge requires a SetSmart workspace rather than your Instagram password.
That is the tradeoff, stated plainly: it is not self-hostable against your own account, and it needs a SetSmart API key.
Add this to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json, or .mcp.json for Claude Code):
{
"mcpServers": { "setsmart": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "setsmart-mcp"], "env": { "SETSMART_API_KEY": "your-workspace-api-key" } } } }
Same block, in ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
The SetSmart MCP server is also reachable directly over Streamable HTTP with OAuth, so clients that support remote MCP can skip this package entirely:
https://setsmart.io/api/mcp
Use this bridge when your client only speaks stdio, or when you would rather authenticate with a static API key than an interactive OAuth consent.

An API key is a long lived static secret, so it gets a restricted surface. These are reachable through interactive OAuth on the remote server, never through this bridge:
Rotating the key in your SetSmart settings revokes access immediately, on the next request.
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
SETSMART_API_KEY | required | Your workspace API key |
SETSMART_MCP_URL | https://setsmart.io/api/mcp | Override the upstream endpoint |
This package contains no messaging logic. It is a stdio to Streamable HTTP pipe: your client speaks MCP over stdin and stdout, the bridge forwards each request to the hosted SetSmart MCP server with your key in the Authorization header, and streams the answer back. Around 150 lines, in src/index.js, so you can read all of it before trusting it with an account.
