## TL;DR

- Only one MCP URL to connect multiple apps with Claude Code with zero auth hassles.
- Programmatic tool calling allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
- Handling Large tool responses out of LLM context to minimize context rot.
- Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so LLMs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.

## Connect Tiktok to Claude Code

### Connecting Tiktok to Claude Code using Composio
1. Add the Composio MCP to Claude

```bash
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http composio https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
```

## What is Claude Code?

Claude Code is Anthropic's command line developer tool that lets you use Claude directly inside your terminal. Instead of switching between your editor, browser, and chat, you can stay in your project folder and ask Claude to help you build, debug, refactor, and understand code right where you're working.
Key features include:
- Terminal-Native Experience: Work with Claude directly in your command line without switching contexts
- MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers to extend Claude's capabilities
- Project Context: Claude understands your project structure and can read, write, and modify files
- Interactive Development: Ask questions, debug code, and get help in real-time while coding
- Multi-Platform: Works on macOS, Linux, WSL, and Windows

## What is the Tiktok MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Tiktok MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Tiktok account. It provides structured and secure access to your Tiktok profile and content, so your agent can fetch user analytics, manage your videos, post new content, and monitor publishing status—all on your behalf.
- Automated video uploads and publishing: Let your agent upload single or multiple videos, then finalize and publish them to your Tiktok account seamlessly.
- Profile insights and analytics: Fetch comprehensive user information and performance stats, giving you quick access to follower counts, engagement metrics, and more.
- Content management: List all your videos or those of a specified creator, making it easy to organize, review, or reference your posted content.
- Photo posting automation: Enable your agent to create and post photos directly through the Tiktok content posting API, streamlining your visual content workflow.
- Real-time publish status monitoring: Check the current status of your video uploads or publishing process, so you’re always up to date on which content is live or pending.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `TIKTOK_FETCH_PUBLISH_STATUS` | Fetch publish status | Check the processing status of a TikTok video or photo post using its publish_id. Use this action to poll the status of content after initiating an upload or post. The API returns detailed information about processing stages (upload, download, moderation) and any errors that occurred. Non-terminal statuses mean processing is still pending — never re-initiate TIKTOK_PUBLISH_VIDEO for the same publish_id. Use exponential backoff when polling (e.g., 5s→10s→20s) to avoid the 30 requests/minute per access token rate limit. |
| `TIKTOK_GET_ACTION_CATEGORIES` | Get action categories | Tool to retrieve available action categories from TikTok Marketing API. Use when you need to get the list of conversion event categories for creating or managing TikTok ad campaigns with conversion tracking. |
| `TIKTOK_GET_TERM` | Get terms | Tool to retrieve terms from TikTok Business API. Use when you need to fetch advertiser or agency terms for a specific advertiser ID. |
| `TIKTOK_GET_USER_STATS` | Get user stats | Fetches TikTok user information and statistics for the authenticated user. Retrieves user stats (follower_count, following_count, likes_count, video_count) and can optionally fetch profile fields (display_name, username, bio_description, etc.) and basic info (open_id, union_id, avatar URLs). Returns only the fields requested in the fields parameter. Only works for the authenticated account; cannot fetch arbitrary public profiles. Stats may be delayed and not reflect the most recent activity. |
| `TIKTOK_LIST_GMV_MAX_OCCUPIED_CUSTOM_SHOP_ADS` | List GMV Max occupied custom shop ads | Tool to get GMV Max occupied custom shop ads list for a TikTok advertiser. Use this action when you need to retrieve information about which custom shop ads are currently occupied for GMV Max campaigns. This is part of the TikTok Business API and requires appropriate advertiser access. |
| `TIKTOK_LIST_VIDEOS` | List videos | Lists videos for the authenticated user (or specified creator). Does not provide a global TikTok-wide feed. |
| `TIKTOK_POST_PHOTO` | Post photo | Create a photo post (1-35 images) on TikTok via Content Posting API. Supports two modes: - MEDIA_UPLOAD: Uploads photos to user's inbox for review/editing before posting - DIRECT_POST: Immediately posts photos to user's TikTok account IMPORTANT: Photo URLs must be from your TikTok-verified domain. Unverified domains will return 403 Forbidden. Unaudited apps can only post with privacy='SELF_ONLY'. Rate limit: 6 requests per minute per user access token. Reference: https://developers.tiktok.com/doc/content-posting-api-reference-photo-post |
| `TIKTOK_PUBLISH_VIDEO` | Publish video | Publishes a video to TikTok by pulling it from a public URL. TikTok downloads the video from the provided URL and publishes it directly to the creator's profile. Publishing is asynchronous — after calling this action, poll TIKTOK_FETCH_PUBLISH_STATUS with the returned publish_id to check completion. For uploading video files instead of URLs, use TIKTOK_UPLOAD_VIDEO. |
| `TIKTOK_UPLOAD_VIDEO` | Upload video | Uploads a video to TikTok via the Content Posting API (init + single-part upload). This action initializes an upload session to obtain a presigned upload URL, then uploads the entire file with a single PUT request. Use a subsequent action to publish the post. Ensure the video file is fully generated and available before calling this action. |
| `TIKTOK_UPLOAD_VIDEOS` | Upload videos (batch) | Uploads multiple videos to TikTok concurrently (init + single-part upload per file). |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Tiktok MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects Claude Code (and other AI assistants like Claude and Cursor) directly to your Tiktok account. It provides structured and secure access so Claude can perform Tiktok operations on your behalf.
With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster.

## Step-by-step Guide

### 1. Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:
- Claude Pro, Max, or API billing enabled Anthropic account
- Composio API Key
- A Tiktok account
- Basic knowledge of Python or TypeScript

### 1. Install Claude Code

To install Claude Code, use one of the following methods based on your operating system:
```bash
# macOS, Linux, WSL
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

# Windows PowerShell
irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex

# Windows CMD
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.cmd -o install.cmd && install.cmd && del install.cmd
```

### 2. Set up Claude Code

Open a terminal, go to your project folder, and start Claude Code:
- Claude Code will open in your terminal
- Follow the prompts to sign in with your Anthropic account
- Complete the authentication flow
- Once authenticated, you can start using Claude Code
```bash
cd your-project-folder
claude
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file in your project root with the following variables:
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio (get it from [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=claude-code&utm_content=api_key&next=%2F~%2Forg%2Fconnect%2Fclients%2Fclaude-code))
- USER_ID identifies the user for session management (use any unique identifier)
```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
```

### 4. Install Composio library

No description provided.
```python
pip install composio-core python-dotenv
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core dotenv
```

### 5. Generate Composio MCP URL

No description provided.
```python
import os
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
USER_ID = os.getenv("USER_ID")

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=USER_ID,
    toolkits=["tiktok"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url

print(f"MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}")
print(f"\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:")
print(f'claude mcp add --transport http tiktok-composio "{COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}" --headers "X-API-Key:{COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"')
```

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env;

if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) {
  throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID required in .env');
}

const composioClient = new Composio({ apiKey: COMPOSIO_API_KEY });

const composioSession = await composioClient.create(USER_ID, {
  toolkits: ['tiktok'],
});

const composioMcpUrl = composioSession?.mcp.url;

console.log(`MCP URL: ${composioMcpUrl}`);
console.log(`\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:`);
console.log(`claude mcp add --transport http tiktok-composio "${composioMcpUrl}" --headers "X-API-Key:${COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"`);
```

### 6. Run the script and copy the MCP URL

No description provided.
```python
python generate_mcp_url.py
```

```typescript
node --loader ts-node/esm generate_mcp_url.ts
# or if using tsx
tsx generate_mcp_url.ts
```

### 7. Add Tiktok MCP to Claude Code

In your terminal, add the MCP server using the command from the previous step. The command format is:
- claude mcp add registers a new MCP server with Claude Code
- --transport http specifies that this is an HTTP-based MCP server
- The server name (tiktok-composio) is how you'll reference it
- The URL points to your Composio Tool Router session
- --headers includes your Composio API key for authentication
After running the command, close the current Claude Code session and start a new one for the changes to take effect.
```bash
claude mcp add --transport http tiktok-composio "YOUR_MCP_URL_HERE" --headers "X-API-Key:YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY"

# Then restart Claude Code
exit
claude
```

### 8. Verify the installation

Check that your Tiktok MCP server is properly configured.
- This command lists all MCP servers registered with Claude Code
- You should see your tiktok-composio entry in the list
- This confirms that Claude Code can now access Tiktok tools
If everything is wired up, you should see your tiktok-composio entry listed:
```bash
claude mcp list
```

### 9. Authenticate Tiktok

The first time you try to use Tiktok tools, you'll be prompted to authenticate.
- Claude Code will detect that you need to authenticate with Tiktok
- It will show you an authentication link
- Open the link in your browser (or copy/paste it)
- Complete the Tiktok authorization flow
- Return to the terminal and start using Tiktok through Claude Code
Once authenticated, you can ask Claude Code to perform Tiktok operations in natural language. For example:
- "Upload a new video from my library"
- "List my most recent TikTok videos"
- "Fetch my latest TikTok follower stats"

## Complete Code

```python
import os
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
USER_ID = os.getenv("USER_ID")

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=USER_ID,
    toolkits=["tiktok"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url

print(f"MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}")
print(f"\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:")
print(f'claude mcp add --transport http tiktok-composio "{COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}" --headers "X-API-Key:{COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"')
```

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env;

if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) {
  throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID required in .env');
}

const composioClient = new Composio({ apiKey: COMPOSIO_API_KEY });

const composioSession = await composioClient.create(USER_ID, {
  toolkits: ['tiktok'],
});

const composioMcpUrl = composioSession?.mcp.url;

console.log(`MCP URL: ${composioMcpUrl}`);
console.log(`\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:`);
console.log(`claude mcp add --transport http tiktok-composio "${composioMcpUrl}" --headers "X-API-Key:${COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"`);
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Tiktok MCP?

With a standalone Tiktok MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Tiktok tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Tiktok and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Code?

Yes, you can. Claude Code fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Tiktok tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Tiktok while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Tiktok scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Tiktok data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
