This server provides a convenient way to access TikTok content, useful for content analysis and research. However, it relies on the third-party TikNeuron service and faces risks of TikTok access restrictions. It is not suitable for users needing to publish or upload videos.

The TikTok MCP server leverages TikNeuron to provide AI assistants with access to TikTok videos. It can analyze virality factors, retrieve subtitles and content, and support conversation around videos. The server offers three main tools: get subtitle, get post details, and search videos. It is designed to help users understand TikTok content without manual watching.

Tools

tiktok_get_subtitle

Get the subtitle or content for a TikTok video URL. Optionally specify a language code for subtitle language.

tiktok_get_post_details

Get detailed information about a TikTok post, including description, creator, engagement metrics, duration, and available subtitles.

tiktok_search

Search for TikTok videos by query, returning a list with details and pagination support.

Setup

Clone the repository and install dependencies: git clone https://github.com/Seym0n/tiktok-mcp.git, then npm install.
Build the project: npm run build.
Add an mcpServers entry to your Claude configuration, setting command to node, args to [path\build\index.js], and env TIKNEURON_MCP_API_KEY to your TikNeuron API key.
For an easier install, download the .mcpb file and open it, entering your API key when prompted.
