Instagram Analytics
Track your Instagram performance — reach, followers, interactions, Reels metrics, and post-level engagement. Powered by Boring.
Security & Data Handling
- MCP link is a credential: Your MCP Server URL (
https://boring.aiagent-me.com/mcp/t/xxxxx...) contains an embedded authentication token. Treat it like a password — do not share it publicly. - Token scope: The embedded token is read-only for analytics. It can only fetch performance metrics and account metadata. It cannot publish, delete, or modify any content on your social media accounts.
- Token storage: The token is stored server-side in Boring's database (MongoDB on DigitalOcean). It is never written to your local filesystem. You can regenerate or revoke it anytime at boring.aiagent-me.com/settings.
- Data flow: Analytics queries are sent from Boring's server (Google Cloud, us-central1) to the platform's API on your behalf. Only performance metrics are retrieved — no content is uploaded or modified.
- No local credentials: No local API keys, environment variables, or secrets are needed. All auth is embedded in the MCP link.
- Third-party service: This skill relies on Boring, an open-source social media management tool. Source code: github.com/snoopyrain.
