Instagram Scheduler

What you can publish to Instagram

• Photo posts. A single JPEG, PNG or WebP image up to 8 MB, with an aspect ratio between 4:5 and 1.91:1. WebP is converted to JPEG before publishing.
• Carousels. Between 2 and 10 images in one post. The Instagram API does not allow images and videos in the same carousel.
• Reels. Videos publish as Reels by default. MP4 or MOV, 3 seconds to 15 minutes, up to 300 MB. You can set a custom cover image.
• Stories. Set the post type to Stories to publish an image or video as a Story. Stories disappear after 24 hours, and Instagram does not show a caption on them.

Connect Claude, Cursor or any MCP client to mcp.publora.com and schedule in plain English:

• “Schedule these three image URLs as an Instagram carousel for Friday at 17:00 UTC with this caption.”
