## Introduction

### How to integrate Tiktok MCP with Grok Build
[Grok Build](https://docs.x.ai/build/overview) is xAI's terminal coding agent. It runs on Grok 4.5, plans its work before it acts, and can run multiple sub-agents in parallel. It also reads Claude Code's MCP configuration, so any server you already have in a .mcp.json is picked up with no changes.
In this guide, I will show you how to connect your Tiktok account to Grok Build through Composio, so it can upload a new video from your library, list your most recent TikTok videos, fetch your latest TikTok follower stats, and more without leaving the terminal. Composio holds the OAuth tokens for you, and Grok Build only calls the tools you approve.

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio over a standalone MCP server?
- Read and write access. Composio's Tiktok integration lets Grok Build take real actions like creating drafts, sending updates, and labeling records, not just reading data.
- 1,000+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. One endpoint gives you a full catalog of pre-built connectors, from Gmail and Slack to Notion, Linear, and Salesforce.
- One MCP server for every app. Wire up a single Composio server instead of maintaining a separate MCP entry for each app.
- Smart, context-aware tool loading. Grok Build caps how many tools it holds in a single request. Composio loads only the tools a task needs, so you do not spend that budget on tools you are not using.
- Cross-app automation. Chain actions across apps in one run. Pull a thread, summarize it in Notion, and post the highlights to Slack from a single prompt.

## Connect Tiktok to Grok Build

### Prerequisites
- Grok Build installed and signed in. Install with curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash on macOS or Linux, or irm https://x.ai/cli/install.ps1 | iex on Windows PowerShell. On first launch Grok opens a browser to authenticate; for headless or CI use, set an XAI_API_KEY environment variable instead (create the key at [console.x.ai](https://console.x.ai/)).
- Access to the Tiktok account you want to connect.
- The [Composio MCP endpoint](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=grok-build&utm_content=composio_connect). Composio's server is remote and hosted, so there is nothing to run locally and no tunnel to set up.
### Step-by-step: Connect Tiktok to Grok Build
### 1. Install and verify Grok Build
Install the CLI, then restart your shell so the grok binary lands on your PATH:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash
which grok
```

## 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). |

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is the difference between the Composio Tool Router and a standalone Tiktok MCP server?

A standalone Tiktok MCP server gives Grok Build a fixed set of Tiktok tools tied to that one server. The Composio Tool Router lets Grok Build load tools from Tiktok and many other apps on demand, based on the task, all through a single endpoint.

### Does Grok Build support MCP?

Yes. Grok Build ships with native MCP support. Add a server with the grok mcp add command, from the in-session /mcps modal, or by editing ~/.grok/config.toml. It also reads Claude Code-style .mcp.json files, so Grok Build discovers the tools automatically.

### Can I reuse the same MCP config I already use with Claude Code?

Yes. Grok Build has zero-migration compatibility with Claude Code's configuration, so the same Composio server entry works in both without edits.

### How safe is my Tiktok data with Composio?

Tokens, keys, and configuration are encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, so your Tiktok data and credentials are handled to that standard.
