Instagram Reels MCP

Add Reels parsing to MCP-capable agents.

Fastdown is a local MCP stdio server backed by a Cloudflare API. Agents can inspect public Instagram Reels links, return structured metadata, or save media files when the user asks.

Tool descriptions matter

The MCP server exposes narrow tools so agents can pick local download versus metadata parsing without guessing.

Download

download_video

Use when the request says download, save, fetch, archive or get a local copy.

Inspect

parse_video

Use when the request asks for URLs, media entries, title, author or platform metadata.

Limits

quota

Use when the user asks how many successful parses remain today.

Directory submission angle

For MCP directories, describe this as a public video parsing and local download capability for AI agents.

  1. 1Publish the GitHub README with install, auth and MCP configuration snippets.
  2. 2Submit the repo to MCP registries and directories with download_video as the primary tool.
  3. 3Link back to Fastdown docs, pricing, OpenAPI and /llms.txt for agent crawlers.
