Find a Social Post

Overview

Locate a specific post the user is trying to recall, across their connected accounts. The fastest path depends on where the item lives — figure that out first; it often collapses the search. See [[social-media-toolchain]] for the servers, tools, and limits.

Step 1 — Clarify target + location (before any tool call)

Ask (briefly) what the post is and where they saw it:

• A public post / someone's profile → no account access needed; just navigate the public web.
• In their Instagram (Saved, their posts, liked, a DM) → use insta-mcp.
• In their Facebook (feed, their posts, saved) → drive facebook.com in their logged-in browser.

Step 2 — Instagram (insta-mcp)

• Saved collections: get_saved_posts.
• Their own / a user's recent posts: get_recent_posts.
• By keyword / hashtag / account: search_instagram.
• Liked history: get_liked_posts.
• In a DM: get_inbox → get_direct_messages (or use [[social-dm-search]]).

If the IG MCP tools aren't loaded yet (registered but Claude Code not restarted), run the capability directly via a one-shot Node script against the saved session in ~/source/repos/insta-mcp (the InstagramClient exposes the same methods).

Step 3 — Facebook feed / posts / saved (browser)

There is no FB API path for feed/saved and no FB app on the user's BlueStacks. Drive their logged-in facebook.com session (Claude-in-Chrome / Playwright):

• Navigate to their profile / Saved (facebook.com/saved) / a target profile.

Step 4 — Present
