And MCP makes the experience even better. With Tiktok MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Tiktok with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok/framework/claude-cowork) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio? Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get: - CodeAct: A dedicated workbench that allows GPT to write its code to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Large tool responses: Handle them to minimise 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 GPTs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need. ## Connect Tiktok to Codex ### How to install Tiktok MCP in Codex ### Run the setup command Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex. ```bash codex mcp add composio --url https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## 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). | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Tiktok MCP server provides comprehensive access to Tiktok operations through Composio. Once connected, you can perform all major Tiktok actions directly from Codex using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Conclusion You've successfully integrated Tiktok with Codex using Composio's MCP server.

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 Codex? Yes, you can. Codex 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. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
