Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 216 ms.

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 216 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 216 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

    This namespace is not a reverse domain, so the website comparison does not apply.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Fail
    Repo owner matches

    The GitHub repository owner does not match the namespace login.

Capabilities

Tools 6

get_account

Read stored profile information and follower/following counts. Counts may have a different observation time than lists. No online collection.

Discovered
get_account_changes

Read detected changes in your accessible tracking history, default last seven calendar days UTC. detectedAt is detection time, not exact Instagram action time. For the next page send username and cursor; the cursor keeps the list, dates and timezone.

Discovered
list_followers

Read a page of the most recent accessible follower snapshot, or permitted public query cache. State its asOf and partial coverage. Never collects automatically.

Discovered
list_following

Read a page of the most recent accessible following snapshot, or permitted public query cache. State its asOf and partial coverage. Never collects automatically.

Discovered
list_tracking

List your tracked accounts with profile counts and snapshot times. Reads stored data without collection charges.

Discovered
query_public_account

Explicit online query of a public profile or ONE page of followers/following (one source page, usually 25 people). May consume credits: a first list page needs maxCredits of at least 2 (profile + page), a next page 1. Require user authorization for this target, type and maxCredits. Generate and keep idempotencyKey before the first attempt; reuse it with identical arguments when restoring. Never automatically fetch all pages or increase budget.
