Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how instapi: Instagram holds up.
Operated by instapi: Instagram (instapi.co) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
If instapi: Instagram adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Choose instapi: Instagram in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
instapi: Instagram's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

https://instapi.co/mcpYes — instapi: Instagram operates its own remote MCP server at instapi.co. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick instapi: Instagram in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, instapi: Instagram's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
No. instapi: Instagram runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect instapi: Instagram in minutes. No credit card required.
