Anyone can clone a free MCP to scrape Instagram. Whether that stays free depends on the shape of your project.

Self-hosted costs and hours are illustrative budgets for one custom scraper. Engineering time is separate from infrastructure spend.

FAQ

Before you wire it in

Which accounts can these tools read?

Public ones. Every tool reads the pages a signed-out visitor sees, so a private account returns nothing useful and there is no way to ask for more than the account itself publishes.

How is this different from the Instagram Graph API?

The Graph API reaches an account that has authorised your app, and it requires app review for most of what it exposes. These tools read public profiles and posts without that relationship, which is a different job rather than a shortcut into the same one.

How do I read more than the first page of posts?

When the response includes pagination.nextPageToken, pass it as nextPageToken to request another page. Use the returned token rather than constructing one. limit requests a page size and defaults to twelve.

Which fields can be missing?

Fields vary by record: profile biography or verified, and post mentions or hashtags, may be absent. Hashtag arrays can contain repeats. Profile links use bioLinks. Likes, comment counts and play counts are not included in the verified responses.

What about personal data?

A profile is personal data even when it is public. HasData reads publicly available pages only, and you are responsible for having a lawful basis for what you collect and store under GDPR, CCPA or the equivalent rules where you operate.

How many calls can run in parallel?

One on the free tier, five on Startup, fifteen on Basic, and fifty on Growth. The larger Growth volumes raise it to 200, 300 and 500.

What happens when I run out of credits?

Nothing is charged on top of the plan. Calls stop until the billing cycle renews.

Does it work with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code and Claude Code?

Yes, all four, plus anything else that speaks MCP over streamable HTTP. Claude Desktop connects through OAuth, and the rest take the URL and an API key header.

Is HasData affiliated with Instagram?

No. HasData is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Meta Platforms, Inc. Instagram is a trademark of its respective owner.
