Connect Instagram to Cursor

Windsor.ai gives Cursor access to 140+ Instagram fields. These are some of the groups; the Instagram field reference lists all of them:

• Posts and reels: Media ID, Media type, Media caption, Media permalink, Media created, Media reach, Media shares, Media engagement.
• Engagement: Saves, Shares, Media Total Like Count, Media Total Comments Count.
• Reels: Media reel average watch time, Media reel skip rate, Media reel total interactions.
• Reach split: Reach from followers, Reach from non-followers, Views from followers, Views from non-followers.
• Stories: Story views, Story reach, Story exits, Story taps forward, Story taps back.
• Audience: Profile followers, New followers, Number of followers from a country, Number of followers of a age group.

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 Media ID, Media type, Media caption, Media created, Media reach, Saves, Shares, and Reach from non-followers for the last 90 days. Calculate Saves plus Shares per reach, rank posts, and show the top 10 and bottom 10 with their captions. Write a short read on what the top group has in common in format, topic, and length.

• Pull reel rows with Media reel average watch time, Media reel skip rate, Media reel total interactions, Media caption, and Media created. Build a canvas that compares watch time with skip rate, then group reels by caption theme and write which themes hold attention and which lose it.

• Pull Story ID, Story reach, Story taps forward, Story taps back, Story exits, and Story Created for the last 30 days. Calculate exit share per story, find the position in a sequence where exits jump, and write what to change in the story structure.

• Pull New followers by Date and Media created with Media type for the last 60 days. Write a script that marks the days with new followers above the 75th percentile and lists what was published on those days and the day before, saved as growth_days.csv.

• Pull Reach from followers and Reach from non-followers by Media type for the last 90 days. Build a canvas of the split and write two sentences on which formats extend reach beyond followers and which mainly serve the existing audience.

• Pull Profile followers and Number of followers from a country and of a age group. Write a short audience summary that shows where followers are concentrated and compares it with the countries in my best performing posts by Media reach.

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 for teammates. See the Cursor canvas documentation for the current plan requirements.

Yes. Windsor.ai has write actions for Instagram, and Cursor can run them through Windsor MCP when you ask: it can publish image, video and carousel posts and stories, and reply to, hide, unhide or delete comments. See the full list of write actions.

Yes. Windsor.ai supports 350+ data sources, so you can connect Instagram alongside tools such as Facebook Ads, GA4, or Shopify and ask Cursor to work with them together. For example, ask Cursor to join Instagram Media reach and Saves with Facebook Ads Amount Spent by Ad Name, then write a report that shows whether boosted posts follow the organic winners.

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 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 on its own costs nothing and needs no credit card. Combining Instagram with other sources, such as Facebook Ads or GA4, needs a paid plan: $19/month for 3 sources or $99/month for 7. Cursor is billed separately by Cursor. See the pricing page.
