TikTok is a leading short-form video platform with billions of users. The TikTok MCP server lets you search videos, analyze profiles, and collect engagement data using natural language.
What Can It Do?
- Get hashtag videos with engagement metrics
- Analyze creator profiles and their content
- Export follower lists for research
- Pull video details including stats and music info
Where to Use It
In Agents (Recommended)
Add TikTok as a tool to any agent. The agent can then search and analyze TikTok data conversationally, choosing the right actions based on context.
To add an MCP tool to your agent:
- Open your agent’s configuration
- Click Add tools → Connect an app with MCP
- Search for the integration and select it
- Authenticate with your account
You can control which tools your agent has access to. After adding an integration, click on it to enable or disable specific tools based on what your agent needs.
In Workflows (Via Agent Node)
For automated pipelines, use an Agent Node with TikTok tools. This gives you the flexibility of an agent within a deterministic workflow.
As a Custom MCP Node
You can also create a standalone MCP node for a specific action. This generates a reusable node that performs one task, useful when you need the same operation repeatedly in workflows.
To create a custom MCP node:
- Go to your node library and search for the integration
- Click Create a node with AI
- Describe the specific action you want (e.g., “Get the top 20 #fitness videos”)
- Test the node and save it for reuse
Custom MCP nodes are single-purpose by design. For tasks that require multiple steps or dynamic decision-making, use an agent instead.

Example Prompts
Use these with your agent or in the Agent Node:
Get trending content:
Get the top 20 #travelhacks videos
Show me the latest 15 videos from @gymshark
Search TikTok for "meal prep" videos
Get the details for this TikTok video URL
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|
| Agent not finding the right data | Use exact usernames with @ symbol |
| Action not completing | Check that you’ve authenticated |
| Unexpected results | The agent may chain multiple tools (e.g., finding a profile first, then getting videos). Review the agent’s reasoning to understand its approach. |
| Tool not available | Verify the tool is enabled in your agent’s MCP configuration |
Agents are smart enough to chain multiple API calls together. For example, asking “Get engagement stats for the top fitness influencer” will search profiles first, then get videos. If results seem off, check the agent’s step-by-step reasoning.
