# Create Instagram accounts

Creating Instagram accounts from any MCP-capable agent is the same bundle flow as TikTok with `platform: "instagram"`: `create_bundle` in the target country, `configure_bundle_account` (bio up to 120 characters here), `publish_bundle`, and a human manager creates and warms the account on a local device; content later goes in as Reels (`instagram_content_type: "reel"`), feed posts or carousels (`carousel_images`). Instagram's official Graph API only publishes to professional accounts you already own via OAuth and caps API publishing at 100 posts per 24 hours per account; it has no account-creation endpoint, which is the part TokPortal supplies.

## Try the workflow without spending

For this trial, use the remote MCP endpoint `https://app.tokportal.com/api/ext/mcp`, local `tokportal-mcp` **1.15.1 or later**, or the REST API. Upgrade and restart an older local server first. Version 1.15.0 does not forward the dry-run header; do not use its write tools for a simulation. If you cannot verify the installed local version, use the remote endpoint or REST.

Use the [sandbox](https://developers.tokportal.com/sandbox) for the first attempt. MCP write tools accept `dry_run: true` as a top-level argument, beside `body`; REST writes accept the `X-TokPortal-Dry-Run: true` header. Keep your usual authentication and scopes. Each simulated write validates the request and returns `credits_would_charge` with `credits_charged: 0`. Nothing is created or published.

Simulated IDs start with `00000000-0000-4000-8000-`. Use them only in later dry-run writes. GET requests read real data, so skip publish-readiness checks and polling for synthetic IDs. Simulations have no cross-call memory and upload URLs are placeholders: do not upload files to them.

To run for real, review the returned price and confirm **before the first live write**. Bundle creation charges credits immediately; publishing hands the order to a manager. Repeat creation without dry-run mode and use the new real IDs for configuration and publishing. A synthetic ID cannot be reused in a live request.

## How it works

Instagram bundles differ from TikTok bundles in a few fields, and the agent should know them. `biography` accepts up to 120 characters (80 on TikTok). Video slots take `instagram_content_type` (`reel` for Reels, `post` for a feed video), `instagram_location`, up to 5 `instagram_collaborators`, `instagram_audio_name` for a named audio, and `instagram_add_to_story: true` to also share to Stories; carousels use `video_type: "carousel"` with 1–20 `carousel_images` (upload each with `upload_image_from_url` or `upload_image_direct`, purpose `carousel`) and an optional `carousel_title`; stories use `video_type: "story"` with `story_image_url` or `video_url` and an optional `story_repost_url` (1 credit) to repost an existing Instagram post.

The order of operations from any MCP-capable agent: `list_countries` (Instagram availability is per country too), `get_credit_costs`, `create_bundle` (`platform: instagram`, `country`, `bundle_type`, `videos_quantity`, optional Advanced Warming — supported on Instagram with the same 3–30 terms), `configure_bundle_account` with `username`, `visible_name`, `biography`, `profile_picture_url`, `link_in_bio`, then slots with `configure_bundle_video` or `batch_configure_bundle_videos` at ≤3 per day, `get_bundle_publish_readiness`, `publish_bundle`. Delivered accounts show up in `list_accounts?platform=instagram` with `profile_url`. For a fleet, `create_bundles_bulk` with `platforms: ["instagram"]` (or both platforms at once for paired TikTok/Instagram personas).

Instagram accounts are also eligible for TokPortal Coverage (25 credits / 30 days after the first period), which is what backs refunds/remakes on bans — read `get_account_managed_subscription` per account if you plan to keep them long-term.

## Tool sequence

1. `tokportal_list_countries` — Countries open for Instagram account creation.
2. `tokportal_get_credit_costs` — Setup, slot and warming prices.
3. `tokportal_create_bundle` — `platform: instagram`, `country`, `bundle_type`, `videos_quantity`, warming terms.
4. `tokportal_upload_image_from_url` — Profile picture (`purpose: profile_picture`) and carousel images.
5. `tokportal_configure_bundle_account` — `biography` ≤120, `link_in_bio`, `profile_picture_url`.
6. `tokportal_configure_bundle_video` — `instagram_content_type: reel|post`, `carousel_images`, `instagram_add_to_story`, `instagram_collaborators`.
7. `tokportal_publish_bundle` — Manager creates and warms the account.
8. `tokportal_list_accounts` — `platform=instagram` to fetch delivered accounts.
