Why connect Instagram to Zed?

Zed's Agent panel can call MCP servers, which Zed calls context servers, while it edits your files. Connected through Lemonado, it reads your Instagram reels, saves, reach and follows, so it can find the reels people save and share with today's numbers.

  • All your Instagram data

    Posts and reels, ready to ask about.

  • Always today's numbers

    Profile visits and follows, synced from Instagram automatically, so answers use today's numbers.

  • Connect all your tools

    Questions like "Do organic winners work as ads?" use Instagram and Meta Ads, TikTok Ads at once.
