Your bot supports both demo and real Instagram integration:

Demo Mode (Default - Perfect for Testing)

# In your .env file INSTAGRAM_REAL_MODE=false # Features: # ✅ Practice with fake health claims # ✅ Test sassy response generation # ✅ Safe for development # ✅ No Instagram account needed

# In your .env file INSTAGRAM_REAL_MODE=true # Features: # ✅ Real Instagram API via Gala Labs MCP # ✅ Actual DM conversations # ✅ Live fact-checking responses # ✅ Production-ready deployment

# Edit your .env file nano .env # Change this line: INSTAGRAM_REAL_MODE=false # Demo mode # OR INSTAGRAM_REAL_MODE=true # Real mode # Restart your sassy bot server python src/mcp_server.py

🛡️ For Real Mode: Use a dedicated test Instagram account, never your main account!

Instagram actively detects automation and may restrict accounts. Create a throwaway account specifically for testing to protect your personal Instagram.
