What is OpenQuok MCP for Instagram on Claude Cowork?

Claude Cowork lists your Instagram account, reads platform limits, and drafts or schedules posts over MCP — you approve in your workspace. See Claude Cowork MCP setup and the Instagram humanizer tool.

Do I need the CLI or openquok-core skill?

No. Claude Cowork connects over MCP with an opo_ token. Use openquok-core on Grok Bot, ThinkRail, OpenClaw, or Hermes for deeper skill workflows. See agent setup guides.

Why use Claude Cowork MCP instead of an agent host?

Grok Bot, ThinkRail, OpenClaw, and Hermes fit always-on chat and messaging. Claude Cowork fits when OpenQuok should live in your editor or terminal. Pick Claude Cowork when you already ship there. Pick an agent host for messaging and scale. Many teams use both.

How do I authenticate?

Create an OAuth app. Generate an opo_ token under Developers → Access. Paste the MCP config. See OAuth2 for apps and the Claude Cowork MCP setup.

How do I verify the connection?

Start a fresh session. Ask: List my connected social media accounts. See the Claude Cowork MCP setup guide for the verify step.

How does Claude Cowork schedule Instagram posts?

Connect Instagram via the Instagram setup guide. Add OpenQuok MCP to Claude Cowork — see the Claude Cowork MCP setup guide. Draft and schedule in natural language; you approve on the calendar or kanban.

Does Claude Cowork publish immediately or wait for approval?

It depends on you. You can ask Claude Cowork to publish now when the copy is ready, or save drafts and scheduled posts and approve them later on the OpenQuok calendar or kanban. Tell Claude Cowork to use draft-only or not to publish when you want a review step first.

What is MCP and how does OpenQuok use it?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets AI assistants connect to the tools you use. Connect OpenQuok in your MCP client and your agent can list channels, read platform rules, and schedule posts without opening the dashboard. Start with MCP getting started or a MCP setup guide.

Can I try OpenQuok for free?

Yes. OpenQuok offers one 7-day free trial per payment customer so you can run social media accounts on auto-pilot before you subscribe the plan. Create an account and start today — no credit card required. Canceling and resubscribing, or creating another workspace, does not grant a second trial. Plan limits are on Pricing and in the billing limits guide; trial rules are in the Cloud trial guide.

How do I schedule social media posts with OpenQuok?

Connect channels, write in Creating posts, then pick a time on the calendar or kanban. Agents can use the CLI, agent setup guides, or MCP setup guides.

What counts as a channel?

A channel is one connected social account (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, and more). Connect channels in the dashboard. Browse networks on Supported channels.

Is Instagram first-class for Meta Muse?

Yes. Instagram is a first-class Meta Muse channel on OpenQuok. Facebook, Instagram, and Threads are first-class Meta Muse channels on OpenQuok. Start with Facebook, Instagram, or Threads, then add other networks from the same workspace.

What is the difference between Instagram Business and Standalone in OpenQuok?

Instagram Business uses Facebook Login and suits accounts linked to a Facebook Page. Instagram Standalone uses Instagram Login directly. Both share the same publish pipeline. Pick the option that matches how your account is set up in Meta. See the connect channels guide and Instagram per-channel settings.

Can I schedule Instagram Reels with trending or copyrighted music?

OpenQuok publishes the video file you attach. It does not add tracks from Instagram's music library. Meta licenses in-app music mainly for personal, non-commercial use. Business and professional accounts face tighter rules on mainstream copyrighted audio. Edit royalty-free music into your video before upload, or add allowed audio in the Instagram app when Meta permits it. We offer Business and Standalone login so you can connect the account type that fits your setup. See how to connect Instagram.

How do I connect Instagram to OpenQuok?

Sign up for free, open a workspace, and choose Connect channel. Select the Instagram integration that matches your account type. Complete OAuth and, if Business login requires a Page selection, pick the correct profile in the connect flow. OpenQuok Cloud registers the Meta app for you. For self-hosted deployments, see the self-host Instagram setup guide.

How do I pass Meta business verification for a developer app?

On OpenQuok Cloud, you connect Instagram Business or Standalone with Add channel. You do not submit operator business verification for OpenQuok's Meta app. If you self-host, you use your own Meta developer app. Meta often requires business verification and App Review before Live publishing. See Meta business verification guide, OpenQuok Cloud, and the connect channels guide.

Can I schedule Instagram Reels, carousels, and Stories?

Yes. Attach a single MP4 for a Reel, 2–10 images or videos for a carousel, or one attachment with post type set to Story. Captions can run up to 2,200 characters on feed posts and Reels. Size assets in the Instagram photo editor. See media rules by platform.

Does OpenQuok support Trial Reels and collaborators?

Yes. Enable Trial Reel on a single MP4 feed post and choose manual or performance-based graduation. Add up to three collaborator usernames on single-media feed or Reel posts — not on carousels or Stories. See Instagram per-channel settings and Instagram CLI examples.

Can I schedule text follow-up comments on Instagram?

Yes. Add follow-up comment in the post editor (or pass instagram.replies via the API). Each comment publishes as text after the delay you set once the main post goes live. See follow-up comments guide and Instagram CLI examples.

Can I schedule Instagram posts from MCP, the API, or CLI?

Yes. Connect Instagram in our web dashboard, then follow MCP setup guides (ask your assistant in chat to list integrations and queue posts), CLI setup guides, the create-post API, or Instagram CLI examples. Pass providerSettings for post type, trial reel, collaborators, and follow-up comments.

Can I cross-post from Instagram to Threads and other channels?

Yes. Create & compose once in OpenQuok and publish the same idea to Instagram, Threads, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and other connected channels from one workflow. Per-platform captions, aspect ratios, and character limits are applied separately, so each destination gets tailored copy from a single schedule. See Supported channels.

Does OpenQuok include an Instagram DM or comment inbox?

Not today. OpenQuok schedules posts and scheduled text follow-up comments — not DM replies, keyword auto-replies, or Story link stickers. See what each platform supports for follow-ups.

Where can I find setup steps for Meta app credentials?

See the self-host Instagram setup guide for redirect URIs, Meta app configuration, and backend environment variables required for OAuth. Browse Instagram playbooks for format ideas.
