<p>Autogram runs Instagram comment-to-DM automations and AI replies. Its MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor run them for you, so you can ask "which reel brought me leads this week?" instead of opening a dashboard. The server is hosted, so there is nothing to install. It is on every plan, including the free one (1,500 DMs a month).</p>
<h2>What it can do</h2>
<p>33 tools, in these groups:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Automations:</strong> list, create, update, pause and report on comment-to-DM automations.</li>
<li><strong>Multi-step flows:</strong> describe, save, publish and unpublish.</li>
<li><strong>Leads:</strong> list, search, star and summarise.</li>
<li><strong>Posts and insights:</strong> which posts convert, a reel report card, funnel diagnosis.</li>
<li><strong>AI replies:</strong> read and edit the knowledge base the AI answers from, and turn AI replies on or off.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Connect</h2>
<p>The endpoint is:</p>
<pre><code>https://api.autogram.co.in/mcp
</code></pre>
<ol>
<li><strong>Claude:</strong> add a custom connector with the URL above, click Connect, then Allow on the Autogram screen.</li>
<li><strong>ChatGPT:</strong> Settings, Apps and Connectors, turn on Developer mode under Advanced, Create, name it Autogram, paste the URL, keep OAuth, Allow.</li>
<li><strong>Cursor or VS Code:</strong> use the one-click install on <a href="https://autogram.co.in/connect-ai/">https://autogram.co.in/connect-ai/</a> and sign in.</li>
</ol>
<p>It uses OAuth. Scripts can use an API key instead. Calls are capped at 300 an hour and 2,000 a day per workspace.</p>
<h2>Try these prompts</h2>
<ul>
<li>"Which reel actually brought me leads this week?"</li>
<li>"Who asked for the price today?"</li>
<li>"Set up a PRICE keyword on my newest reel that DMs the product link."</li>
<li>"Pause the PRICE automation on my last reel."</li>
</ul>
<h2>Safety</h2>
<ul>
<li>The AI never DMs anyone on its own. A DM only goes out when someone comments on an automation you have running.</li>
<li>A simple automation you ask for goes live. A multi-step flow stays a draft until you say publish.</li>
<li>Nothing a commenter types reaches these tools as instructions. DMs are lead data.</li>
<li>Instagram access is Meta's official API only. No passwords, no scraping.</li>
</ul>
<p>Try it free, no card, in about two minutes: <a href="https://autogram.co.in/connect-ai/">https://autogram.co.in/connect-ai/</a></p>
