Description

🤖 Instagram AI Agent with MCP Server – Built for Smart Engagement and Automation

Hi! I’m Amanda 🥰
I build intelligent automations with n8n and Make.
This powerful workflow was designed to help teams automatically handle Instagram interactions with AI. Using Meta Graph API, LangChain, MCP Server, and GPT-4o, it allows your AI agent to search for posts, read captions, fetch comments, and even reply or message followers, all through structured tools.

🔧 What the workflow does

Searches for recent media using Instagram ID and access token
Reads and extracts captions or media URLs
Fetches comments and specific replies from each post
Replies to comments automatically with GPT-generated responses
Sends direct messages to followers who commented
Maps user input and session to keep memory context via LangChain
Communicates via Server-Sent Events (SSE) using your MCP Server URL

🧰 Nodes & Tech Used

LangChain Agent + Chat Model with GPT-4o
Memory Buffer for session memory
toolHttpRequest to search media, comments, and send replies
MCP Trigger and MCP Tool (custom SSE connection)
Set node for input and variable assignment
Webhook and JSON for Instagram API structure
