When to Use

Tell your AI assistant things like:

AI Agent Integration: See llms.txt for a machine-readable summary, or copy templates/CLAUDE.md / templates/AGENTS.md into your project for automatic MCP discovery.

Setup Guide

Step 1: Create a Meta Developer App

All platforms (Instagram, Threads) require a Meta Developer App.

1. Go to developers.facebook.com and log in
2. Click "My Apps" → "Create App"
3. Select "Other" → "Business" (or "None" for personal use)
4. Enter an app name and create

Your META_APP_ID and META_APP_SECRET are in App Settings → Basic.

Step 2: Instagram Setup

Requires an Instagram Business or Creator account. Switch for free in Instagram app → Settings → Account type.

1. In your Meta App, go to "Add Products" → add "Instagram Graph API"
2. Go to "Instagram Graph API" → "Settings" and connect your Instagram Business account via a Facebook Page
3. Open the Graph API Explorer
   • Select your app
   • Add permissions: instagram_basic, instagram_content_publish, instagram_manage_comments, instagram_manage_insights, instagram_manage_contents, instagram_manage_messages, pages_show_list, pages_read_engagement, pages_manage_metadata
   • Click "Generate Access Token" and authorize
4. The generated token is short-lived (~1 hour). Exchange it for a long-lived token (~60 days):

   GET https://graph.facebook.com/v26.0/oauth/access_token
     ?grant_type=fb_exchange_token
     &client_id=YOUR_APP_ID
     &client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET
     &fb_exchange_token=SHORT_LIVED_TOKEN
   

   Or use the meta_exchange_token tool after setup.
5. Get your Instagram User ID — call this with your token:

   GET https://graph.facebook.com/v26.0/me/accounts?fields=id,name,access_token&access_token=YOUR_TOKEN
   

   This returns your Facebook Pages. For each page, get the linked Instagram account:

   GET https://graph.facebook.com/v26.0/{page-id}?fields=instagram_business_account&access_token=YOUR_TOKEN
   

   The instagram_business_account.id is your INSTAGRAM_USER_ID (a numeric ID like 17841400123456789). For the DM tools, the matching Page's id is INSTAGRAM_PAGE_ID and its access_token is INSTAGRAM_MESSAGING_ACCESS_TOKEN. Do not use the IG User ID or the user token in their place.

Step 3: Threads Setup

Works with any Threads account (personal or business). Instagram account link is no longer required since September 2025.

1. In your Meta App, go to "Add Products" → add "Threads API"
2. Go to "Threads API" → "Settings":
   • Add your Threads account as a Threads Tester under "Roles"
   • Accept the invitation in the Threads app: Settings → Account → Website permissions → Invites
3. Generate an authorization URL:

   https://threads.net/oauth/authorize
     ?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID
     &redirect_uri=YOUR_REDIRECT_URI
     &scope=threads_basic,threads_content_publish,threads_manage_insights,threads_manage_replies,threads_read_replies,threads_keyword_search,threads_manage_mentions,threads_delete,threads_location_tagging,threads_profile_discovery
     &response_type=code
   

   • For local testing, use https://localhost/ as redirect URI (configure in App Settings → Threads API → Redirect URIs)
4. After authorization, exchange the code for an access token:

   POST https://graph.threads.net/oauth/access_token
   Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
   
   client_id=YOUR_APP_ID
   &client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET
   &grant_type=authorization_code
   &redirect_uri=YOUR_REDIRECT_URI
   &code=AUTHORIZATION_CODE
   

5. Exchange for a long-lived token (~60 days):

   GET https://graph.threads.net/access_token
     ?grant_type=th_exchange_token
     &client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET
     &access_token=SHORT_LIVED_TOKEN
   

6. Get your Threads User ID — call this with your token:

   GET https://graph.threads.net/v1.0/me?fields=id,username&access_token=YOUR_TOKEN
   

   The id field is your THREADS_USER_ID (a numeric ID like 1234567890).

Step 4: Configure Environment Variables

Set only the variables for the platforms you use:

# Instagram (requires Business/Creator account)
INSTAGRAM_ACCESS_TOKEN=EAAxxxxxxx...     # Long-lived token from Step 2
INSTAGRAM_USER_ID=17841400123456789      # Numeric ID from Step 2.5
INSTAGRAM_MESSAGING_ACCESS_TOKEN=EAA...  # Page token from Step 2.5 (DM tools only)
INSTAGRAM_PAGE_ID=123456789012345        # Linked Facebook Page ID (DM tools only)

# Threads (any account)
THREADS_ACCESS_TOKEN=THQWxxxxxxx...      # Long-lived token from Step 3
THREADS_USER_ID=1234567890               # Numeric ID from Step 3.6

# Meta App (for token management & webhooks)
META_APP_ID=123456789012345              # From App Settings → Basic
META_APP_SECRET=abcdef0123456789abcdef   # From App Settings → Basic

Token Renewal

Access tokens expire after ~60 days. Refresh before expiration:

• Instagram: Use meta_refresh_token with platform=instagram (requires META_APP_ID and META_APP_SECRET)
• Threads: Use meta_refresh_token with platform=threads or call:

  GET https://graph.threads.net/refresh_access_token
    ?grant_type=th_refresh_token
    &access_token=CURRENT_LONG_LIVED_TOKEN
  

You can check token status anytime with meta_debug_token.
