Connect Instagram to Cursor

• Catch you up

  Ask what you missed and Cursor reads your unread Instagram chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.

  get_messages_to_summarize

• Find any message

  The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Cursor searches your Instagram history and quotes the message.

  search_messages

• Draft replies

  Cursor writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.

  draft_reply

• Send with your OK

  When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own Instagram account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

3. 3

   Pick the chats Cursor can see

   Every chat is listed in your ConnectChats dashboard. Share all of them or only the ones you choose. Cursor never sees the rest.

4. 4

   Ask Cursor about your Instagram

   Open a new conversation in Cursor and ask about your chats. Cursor calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.

• Instagram in ConnectChats

  One to one DMs and group chats are supported, including message requests. Shared posts, reels, photos and voice messages show up as short text descriptions. Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. Creator and business accounts work too, which helps when your inbox is mostly people asking the same questions.

• ConnectChats in Cursor

  Cursor reads MCP servers from an mcp.json file and supports OAuth sign-in for remote servers. Add ConnectChats once and its agent can look up messages while you work, such as the bug report a teammate sent you on WhatsApp. Cursor signs in with OAuth and renews the token on its own, so you sign in once. You can switch ConnectChats off in Customize without removing it from mcp.json. Cloud Agents keep their own sign-in, separate from the desktop app. Team admins can limit which MCP servers members can use with an allowlist.

• You pick the chats

  Cursor only sees the Instagram chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.

• Drafts by default

  Cursor prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches Instagram, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.

• Stored messages are encrypted

  Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
