What makes Instagram different
Instagram reports the richest audience data of any platform we connect — measured demographics rather than inferred ones — so questions about who is actually watching are answerable here in a way they are not elsewhere. Reels and static posts also behave differently enough that averaging them together hides more than it shows.
Why Claude
Claude is the only one of the three that works on a phone as well as a desktop, which matters more than it sounds: the moment you want to check something about a post is usually the moment you are looking at it. Claude also supports Skills, so the Mysocial workflows — drafting a next post, researching your market, keeping brand docs current — install alongside the connector rather than being prompts you have to remember.
What to ask Claude once your Reels and posts are connected
- “Which of my Reels held attention longest, and what did they have in common?”
- “Compare how my Reels perform against my carousels over the last 90 days.”
- “What does my audience actually look like, and has it shifted this year?”
- “Which posts brought followers rather than just views?”
None of these are answerable from a screenshot or a pasted export. They need your whole catalogue, and they need Claude to know what typical looks like for you specifically.
Free versus paid
Free gives your assistant the record. Paid gives it the understanding. The line is provenance, not a quota: what Instagram already reports about you is free to read. What Mysocial's own pipeline produced — transcribing, ingesting, analysing — is paid.

Questions
How do I connect Instagram to Claude?
Connect your Instagram account to Mysocial, then add Mysocial as a connector in Claude using https://app.mysocial.io/mcp. Claude can then read your Instagram posts, metrics and comments directly — no exports and no copy-paste.
Is it free to connect Instagram to Claude?
Connecting is free, and so is reading what Instagram itself reports — your posts and captions, view, like and comment counts, follower history and measured audience demographics. What Mysocial's own pipeline produces is paid: video transcripts, the comment text itself, audience psychographics, Hit DNA and Creator Universe research.
What can Claude actually see?
Only the channels you connect, and only what you approve. Mysocial relays your posts and Reels, captions, view and interaction counts, and follower history. It cannot post on your behalf and it cannot see accounts you have not connected.
Does this work with other AI assistants?
Yes. Mysocial is a standard Model Context Protocol server, so the same URL works with Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex and any other MCP client.
