What you can do with your Instagram data in an AI assistant
Windsor MCP gives the assistant your account, post, Reel and Story fields, and the assistant pulls the ones each question needs.
Answers from your own account data
Views, reach, saves, shares, likes, comments and follows per post, Reels watch time and skip rate, and new followers by day come back as rows, and the assistant turns them into a table or a short summary.
Questions that work well
Rank posts by views or saves, compare Reels, carousels and images, find Reels that most viewers skip in the first 3 seconds, or check which posts brought new followers.
Posting and comments from the chat
The assistant can publish an image, a carousel, a Reel or a Story, comment on your posts, and reply to, hide or delete comments. It shows you what it will do first and acts only after you approve.
Instagram next to your other channels
Instagram Public, Facebook Page Insights, Meta Ads, TikTok, GA4 and 350+ other sources connect to the same Windsor.ai account. One question can compare your Instagram posts with a competitor’s or with your ad results.
An example from our own Instagram account
We treat a Reel with at least twice our average Reel views as a topic worth more posts. For the question “Which of our Reels from the last 30 days got at least twice our average Reel views?”, the connector returns one row per Reel with its views, reach, saves, watch time and skip rate. On @windsor.ai, for Reels published 1 to 16 October 2026:
- Average: 8 Reels, 69 views each on average.
- Above twice the average: one Reel, with 149 views from 122 accounts and 1 save. It explained what happens when two pages of the same site rank for one search query.
- The other seven: between 43 and 74 views, with 67% to 97% of each Reel’s views skipped in the first 3 seconds.
Views are counted up to 18 October; the newest Reel had two days to collect them. The Instagram field reference lists every field the assistant can use.

FAQs
Which AI assistants work with it?
Claude, where Windsor.ai is in the connector directory, and ChatGPT, through the Windsor.ai plugin. Gemini Enterprise, Copilot agents, Perplexity, Cursor and other MCP clients connect through the Windsor MCP setup.
Can the AI assistant publish to Instagram?
Yes. It can publish an image post, a carousel of 2 to 10 images, a Reel or a Story, comment on your posts, and reply to, hide, unhide or delete comments, on a Business or Creator account. It shows what it will do and acts only after you approve. See the write actions list.
Can I analyze a competitor's Instagram account?
Yes, with the Instagram Public connector. It reads any public profile without a login: posts with their like and comment counts, and the follower count. It is read-only, and it does not return private metrics such as reach or saves, which only the account owner sees. See Instagram competitor analysis with Claude.
Can the assistant show my follower growth over past months?
Only from the day you start storing it. Meta returns your follower total for today, and new followers per day for the last 30 days, for accounts with 100 or more followers. A daily export to Google Sheets or a warehouse keeps the history; see the Instagram follower tracking dashboard.
Is it free?
Yes. Windsor MCP is included in every plan, including the free forever plan, which covers one data source and reaches back 30 days, with no credit card. To ask about Instagram together with Instagram Public, ads or GA4, paid plans start at $19 a month for 3 sources, billed annually. See pricing.
