MCP TikTok Server

TikTok's Content Posting and Business APIs let approved apps upload videos, fetch video insights, and manage creator workflows. The MCP TikTok Server wraps those endpoints so Claude can draft captions, schedule uploads, and pull post-performance stats for creators and brands.

Frequently asked questions

Can the model publish videos?

Yes — with the video.publish scope. Treat this as a high-risk action and require explicit approval at the MCP client layer.

Is the app subject to review?

Yes, TikTok reviews apps requesting the posting and business scopes. Your MCP server will need production-ready compliance.

Does it work with TikTok Ads Manager?

A separate set of tools under TikTok for Business lets the model pull ad insights; policies differ from organic content posting.
