Add Instagram to your AI

Two steps. Connect Instagram in your vault with your key, then add the ahel connector, https://mcp.ahel.ai, to each AI you use. Every app in your workspace arrives through that one address, and Instagram’s keys stay in the vault.

  • Claude Code

    claude mcp add --transport http --scope user ahel 'https://mcp.ahel.ai'

    Run it once in your project, then open /mcp to approve any sign-in the server asks for.

  • Claude Desktop

    https://mcp.ahel.ai

    Add a custom connector in Settings, paste this address, and approve the sign-in.

  • Cursor

    cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=ahel&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5haGVsLmFpIn0=

    Open the link and Cursor adds the server at that address.

  • ChatGPT

    https://mcp.ahel.ai

    In Settings, enable Developer mode, create an MCP app, and paste this address. Your plan and workspace must allow custom apps.

  • Codex

    codex mcp add ahel --url 'https://mcp.ahel.ai'

    Run it once, then sign in with codex mcp login ahel if the server asks for an account.
