What you can do with TikTok

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Video, 8 operations

get_publish_statusGet publish statusPOSTChecks publish status of an uploaded video.
init_video_uploadInit video uploadPOSTInitializes a video upload session.

OAuth scopes TikTok requires

TikTok API rate limits

600 requests per minute

Rate limits vary by endpoint and app type

These are the limits TikTok documents, not ones LiveContext measured. They can change and often depend on your plan, so check the TikTok documentation for current values.

Use TikTok from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect TikTok in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its TikTok operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up the MCP server step by step

How to connect TikTok

Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect TikTok once
Add your TikTok connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
Describe the job in chat
The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
