Instagram from Cursor
Schedule Instagram posts from Cursor.
Add Buzzmark to Cursor's MCP servers, and Cursor writes Instagram captions in your voice, with the picture checked before anything is scheduled, then schedules them on your Buzzmark calendar.
Instagram refuses a post without a picture, and only Business and Creator accounts can post from an app.
It's for founders and small teams who build in Cursor and announce what they ship. It comes with every Buzzmark plan, and nothing posts on the spot: the earliest a post goes out is 5 minutes after you ask.
7 days free for new users.

A picture for every post
Cursor can make the picture with Buzzmark, add one from a link, or send a file from your project straight to an upload link.
Hashtags out of the caption
Put them in a first comment of up to 2,200 characters, posted under a feed post as soon as it's live.
Tags that land
Write an @handle and it tags the account. A brand profile with its accounts saved tags itself on its first mention.
What Instagram takes
Buzzmark checks every post from Cursor against these and says what to fix before it's scheduled.
