# Can an AI agent like, repost and follow on Threads?

By Andrey Marey, Founder of AgentWeb · As of Oct 22, 2026

> **Short answer.** Yes, through AgentWeb. As of Oct 22, 2026, the Threads map (version 0.2.0) gives your agent 28 actions. With the user's Threads account connected, it can like, repost, save and follow, and clear the notification badge. Many reads (profiles, posts, replies, the public feed) need no login at all. Creating a new Threads post is not mapped yet.

| `create_repost` | Reposts a post to the connected account's profile. Public and immediate. |
| `remove_repost` | Removes a repost. |

| `remove_follow` | Unfollows an account. |
| `add_save` | Saves a post to the account's private saved list. |
| `update_activity_seen` | Marks notifications as seen, which clears the unread badge. |

## How the login works

The person signs in once on Threads through AgentWeb's hosted login, started with `agentweb_start_connection` and confirmed with `agentweb_poll_connection`. Your agent never sees the password. Actions then run on that person's own account, and they can disconnect at any time.

## Try it

```bash
curl -s https://mcp.agentweb.us/api/execute \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTWEB_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: threads-user-1" \
  -d '{"domain":"threads.com","action":"get_user","params":{"handle":"<handle>"}}'
```

Parameter names shown are illustrative. Your agent gets the exact schema for every action from AgentWeb's `list_actions` tool.

## What it does not cover yet

- Creating a new post or a reply on Threads is not mapped yet.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does my agent need a Threads login to read posts?

No, not for public profiles, posts, replies and the public feed. Liking, reposting, following and saving need the user's account connected.

### What does it cost?

Each completed action costs $0.05, paid from prepaid blocks of $25, $50 or $100 that never expire. Failed actions are refunded.

### Which AI tools can use it?

Any agent that speaks MCP or HTTP. Add `https://mcp.agentweb.us/mcp` as a remote MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex or Grok, or call the REST endpoint directly.
