By the end, you'll have a working Tiktok agent that can upload a new video from your library, list your most recent tiktok videos, fetch your latest tiktok follower stats through natural language commands. This guide will help you understand how to give your CrewAI agent real control over a Tiktok account through Composio's Tiktok MCP server. Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved. ## 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) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok/framework/codex) - [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) ## TL;DR Here's what you'll learn: - Get a Composio API key and configure your Tiktok connection - Set up CrewAI with an MCP enabled agent - Create a Tool Router session or standalone MCP server for Tiktok - Build a conversational loop where your agent can execute Tiktok operations ## What is CrewAI? CrewAI is a powerful framework for building multi-agent AI systems. It provides primitives for defining agents with specific roles, creating tasks, and orchestrating workflows through crews. Key features include: - Agent Roles: Define specialized agents with specific goals and backstories - Task Management: Create tasks with clear descriptions and expected outputs - Crew Orchestration: Combine agents and tasks into collaborative workflows - MCP Integration: Connect to external tools through Model Context Protocol ## 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 is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Tiktok. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Tiktok operations on your behalf through a secure, permission-based interface. 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: - Python 3.9 or higher - A Composio account and API key - A Tiktok connection authorized in Composio - An OpenAI API key for the CrewAI LLM - Basic familiarity with Python ### 1. Getting API Keys for OpenAI and Composio OpenAI API Key - Go to the [OpenAI dashboard](https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models, or you can connect to another model provider. - Keep the API key safe. Composio API Key - Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs). - Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key. - Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication. ### 2. Install dependencies **What's happening:** - composio connects your agent to Tiktok via MCP - crewai provides Agent, Task, Crew, and LLM primitives - crewai-tools[mcp] includes MCP helpers - python-dotenv loads environment variables from .env ```bash pip install composio crewai crewai-tools[mcp] python-dotenv ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project root. What's happening: - COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio - USER_ID scopes the session to your account - OPENAI_API_KEY lets CrewAI use your chosen OpenAI model ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here USER_ID=your_user_id_here OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here ``` ### 4. Import dependencies **What's happening:** - CrewAI classes define agents and tasks, and run the workflow - MCPServerHTTP connects the agent to an MCP endpoint - Composio will give you a short lived Tiktok MCP URL ```python import os from composio import Composio from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter import dotenv dotenv.load_dotenv() COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY") COMPOSIO_USER_ID = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID") if not COMPOSIO_API_KEY: raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set") if not COMPOSIO_USER_ID: raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set") ``` ### 5. Create a Composio Tool Router session for Tiktok **What's happening:** - You create a Tiktok only session through Composio - Composio returns an MCP HTTP URL that exposes Tiktok tools ```python composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY) session = composio_client.create(user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID, toolkits=["tiktok"]) url = session.mcp.url ``` ### 6. Initialize the MCP Server **What's Happening:** - Server Configuration: The code sets up connection parameters including the MCP server URL, streamable HTTP transport, and Composio API key authentication. - MCP Adapter Bridge: MCPServerAdapter acts as a context manager that converts Composio MCP tools into a CrewAI-compatible format. - Agent Setup: Creates a CrewAI Agent with a defined role (Search Assistant), goal (help with internet searches), and access to the MCP tools. - Configuration Options: The agent includes settings like verbose=False for clean output and max_iter=10 to prevent infinite loops. - Dynamic Tool Usage: Once created, the agent automatically accesses all Composio Search tools and decides when to use them based on user queries. ```python server_params = { "url": url, "transport": "streamable-http", "headers": {"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}, } with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as tools: agent = Agent( role="Search Assistant", goal="Help users search the internet effectively", backstory="You are a helpful assistant with access to search tools.", tools=tools, verbose=False, max_iter=10, ) ``` ### 7. Create a CLI Chatloop and define the Crew **What's Happening:** - Interactive CLI Setup: The code creates an infinite loop that continuously prompts for user input and maintains the entire conversation history in a string variable. - Input Validation: Empty inputs are ignored to prevent processing blank messages and keep the conversation clean. - Context Building: Each user message is appended to the conversation context, which preserves the full dialogue history for better agent responses. - Dynamic Task Creation: For every user input, a new Task is created that includes both the full conversation history and the current request as context. - Crew Execution: A Crew is instantiated with the agent and task, then kicked off to process the request and generate a response. - Response Management: The agent's response is converted to a string, added to the conversation context, and displayed to the user, maintaining conversational continuity. ```python print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n") conversation_context = "" while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit", "bye"]: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue conversation_context += f"\nUser: {user_input}\n" print("\nAgent is thinking...\n") task = Task( description=( f"Conversation history:\n{conversation_context}\n\n" f"Current request: {user_input}" ), expected_output="A helpful response addressing the user's request", agent=agent, ) crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task], verbose=False) result = crew.kickoff() response = str(result) conversation_context += f"Agent: {response}\n" print(f"Agent: {response}\n") ``` ## Complete Code ```python from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew, LLM from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter from composio import Composio from dotenv import load_dotenv import os load_dotenv() GOOGLE_API_KEY = os.getenv("GOOGLE_API_KEY") COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY") COMPOSIO_USER_ID = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID") if not GOOGLE_API_KEY: raise ValueError("GOOGLE_API_KEY is not set in the environment.") if not COMPOSIO_API_KEY: raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set in the environment.") if not COMPOSIO_USER_ID: raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set in the environment.") # Initialize Composio and create a session composio = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY) session = composio.create( user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID, toolkits=["tiktok"], ) url = session.mcp.url # Configure LLM llm = LLM( model="gpt-5", api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"), ) server_params = { "url": url, "transport": "streamable-http", "headers": {"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}, } with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as tools: agent = Agent( role="Search Assistant", goal="Help users with internet searches", backstory="You are an expert assistant with access to Composio Search tools.", tools=tools, llm=llm, verbose=False, max_iter=10, ) print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n") conversation_context = "" while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit", "bye"]: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue conversation_context += f"\nUser: {user_input}\n" print("\nAgent is thinking...\n") task = Task( description=( f"Conversation history:\n{conversation_context}\n\n" f"Current request: {user_input}" ), expected_output="A helpful response addressing the user's request", agent=agent, ) crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task], verbose=False) result = crew.kickoff() response = str(result) conversation_context += f"Agent: {response}\n" print(f"Agent: {response}\n") ``` ## Conclusion You now have a CrewAI agent connected to Tiktok through Composio's Tool Router. The agent can perform Tiktok operations through natural language commands.

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 CrewAI? Yes, you can. CrewAI 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)
