Why useterra.app

Why call Instagram through useterra.app

Your account, held safely

Connect once; useterra.app keeps the credential server-side and injects it per call. No key on any machine.

Price before the call

The provider's own rate, $0.000 markup. How billing works.

Account billing

Calls through your own connection are not metered by terra.

Your account connection

Connect your account with the provider's supported authentication method.

Switch by changing a word

Another provider is a different word in the prompt, not a new integration.

One key, the whole catalog

The same token calls AnyAPI, Bright Data, Crawl4AI and 3,512 other tools.

Questions

Before you start

Do I need a Instagram account?

Yes. This is an own-account connection: you sign in to Instagram once and your agent uses that connection through your useterra.app token. Calls on it are never metered.

How do I add Instagram to Claude Code?

Run: claude mcp add --transport http terra https://useterra.app/mcp. One MCP server carries Instagram and the rest of the catalog.

Which frameworks does it work with?

Anything that speaks MCP (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Grok) and anything that can make an HTTP request (LangChain, CrewAI, LlamaIndex, plain code).

Is this the official Instagram MCP server?

No. useterra.app serves Instagram's real API through its own metered proxy: the request is the provider's own, the credential is injected server-side, and the answer is relayed verbatim. The official Instagram channels are linked above.
