Connect Instagram Public to Cursor

Windsor.ai gives Cursor access to 42 Instagram Public fields. These are some of the groups; the Instagram Public field reference lists all of them:

• Profiles: Instagram user name, Instagram profile (account) name, Instagram profile (account) biography, Profile followers count (Current), Profile follows count, Profile media/posts count (Current).
• Posts: Media ID, Media type, Media product type, Media caption, Media created, Media permalink.
• Engagement: Media Like Count, Comments count, Likes per post, Comments per post.
• Time: Date, Week, Month.

Cursor works best when you ask it to build something with a clear output. Each of these names the fields to use and the file or canvas you want back:

• Pull Instagram user name, Likes per post, Comments per post and Profile followers count (Current) for every profile I track, for the last 30 days. Build a canvas that ranks the profiles by Likes per post, shows likes per post as a share of followers next to it, and marks the profiles that post less than once a week.

• Pull Instagram user name, Media ID and Media created for the last 12 weeks. Write a Python script that counts posts per Week for each profile, compares each week with that profile's own average, and writes posting_cadence.csv with the weeks that are more than 50% above or below it.

• Pull Media product type, Media type, Media Like Count and Comments count by Instagram user name for the last 90 days. Build a grouped bar chart of average likes per post by format for each profile, and list the format that performs best for each one.

• Pull Media caption, Media Like Count and Media permalink for the 50 most liked posts across all tracked profiles this quarter. Write a script that extracts hashtags and the most frequent words from the captions, saves them to caption_terms.csv with how many top posts use each one, and links each term to an example post.

• Write a monthly competitor report as report.md: for each Instagram user name, the Profile followers count (Current), Profile media/posts count (Current), posts this month, average Media Like Count and the Media permalink of the best post. Keep the script in the project so I can rerun it next month.

Yes. Cursor can render a dashboard, analysis or report as a canvas next to the chat, and it saves the canvas so you can reopen and rerun it later with fresh data. On paid Cursor plans you can publish a canvas to a read-only share link that members of your Cursor team can open. See the Cursor canvas documentation for the current plan requirements.

No. The Instagram Public connector is read-only. Cursor reads your Instagram Public data through Windsor MCP and can write scripts, files and reports in your project, but it cannot create, edit or delete anything in Instagram Public.

Yes. Windsor.ai supports 350+ data sources, so you can connect Instagram Public alongside tools such as Instagram, Facebook Page Insights or TikTok Organic and ask Cursor to work with them together. For example, ask Cursor to put Instagram Public Likes per post for the profiles you track next to your own Instagram Media engagement by post, and build one chart that compares your posts with theirs.

Open Settings in Cursor Desktop, go to Tools & Integrations → New MCP Server, and add Windsor to mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "windsor": {
      "url": "https://mcp.windsor.ai/"
    }
  }
}

Save the file, click Authenticate next to Windsor in your MCP list, and sign in to Windsor.ai in the browser.

No. The connection takes no code: connect Instagram Public in Windsor.ai, add Windsor to Cursor’s MCP settings, and sign in. After that you describe what you want in plain language, and Cursor writes and runs the code. You can read and edit everything it produces.

The free forever plan covers 1 data source, so connecting Instagram Public on its own costs nothing and needs no credit card. Combining Instagram Public with other sources, such as your own Instagram account, needs a paid plan: $19/month for 3 sources or $99/month for 7. Cursor is billed separately by Cursor. See the pricing page.
