Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger DMs through official Meta Business APIs.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Marketing & social media
  • You need to fill in: SETSMART_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: SETSMART_API_KEY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet
  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Common questions

Is SetSmart safe?

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.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: SETSMART_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.2) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

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.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: MCP YouTube Transcript, Google Analytics MCP, BibiGPT YouTube Video Summarizer

Instagram MCP Server (also WhatsApp and Messenger)

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.

Why this one is different

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.

Requirements

  • Node.js 18 or newer
  • A SetSmart workspace with at least one channel connected (Instagram, WhatsApp or Messenger)
  • Your workspace API key, from Settings then Integrations

Quick start

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

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" } } } }

Cursor

Same block, in ~/.cursor/mcp.json.

Remote MCP, without this bridge

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.

What it deliberately cannot do

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:

  • billing and subscription changes
  • workspace settings
  • connecting or disconnecting a channel
  • creating or rewriting AI assistants
  • bulk deletion, blacklists, blocked countries

Rotating the key in your SetSmart settings revokes access immediately, on the next request.

How it works

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.
