Setup
Setup guide
- 11. In Switchy, open your workspace settings and navigate to the Integrations tab. 2. Click 'Add Integration', search for TikTok, and select it from the list. 3. Click 'Connect' to start the OAuth flow — you'll be redirected to TikTok's authorization page. 4. Log in with your TikTok Business account (personal accounts lack API access for publishing). 5. Grant the requested scopes: user.info.basic, user.info.profile, user.info.stats, video.list, video.upload, and video.publish. 6. You'll be redirected back to Switchy once authorization completes. 7. To test the connection, create a new Space and type '@TikTok get user basic info' — you should see your username and account details. 8. To upload a video, use '@TikTok upload video' followed by the file path or URL, then '@TikTok publish video' with the returned publish ID.
What teammates see: by default, memories from TikTok are scoped to the Space (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

@tiktok show me my account stats and recent video performance for the last 5 posts
Here's your TikTok account overview: You have 12,400 followers with 850 total likes across your content. Your last 5 videos show an average view count of 3,200, with your most recent post ('Morning coffee routine') reaching 8,100 views and 420 likes. Engagement rate is trending up 15% compared to your previous 5 posts. Your top-performing video from this set was posted 3 days ago.
This example combines the 'Get user stats' and 'List videos' tools to provide a performance snapshot. Requires OAuth scope for user profile and video data. Stats refresh on TikTok's schedule (typically hourly), so real-time metrics may lag by 60+ minutes.
@tiktok upload my edited video file 'product-demo.mp4' and publish it with the caption 'New feature drop 🚀 #ProductUpdate'
Video upload initiated. The file 'product-demo.mp4' (42 MB) has been uploaded to TikTok's servers and assigned publish ID 'pub_7x9k2m'. Publishing now with your caption and hashtag. Your video is live and visible on your profile. Direct link: tiktok.com/@yourhandle/video/7234567890123456789. Note: TikTok's moderation queue may delay visibility by 5-15 minutes.
Demonstrates the two-step 'Upload video' and 'Publish video' workflow. This is a write action that posts content publicly to your account. Requires content posting scope. Failed uploads (network issues, file format problems) won't auto-retry—you'll need to re-run the prompt.
@tiktok check if my last three uploads finished processing, and draft a summary of which ones are live
I checked the publish status for your recent uploads: (1) 'Tutorial part 2' (pub_8a3n1k) is live and published 40 minutes ago. (2) 'Behind the scenes' (pub_9b4m2j) is still processing—TikTok estimates 3-5 minutes remaining. (3) 'Q&A session' (pub_7c5p3h) failed moderation review for community guidelines (specific reason not provided by API). You'll need to edit and re-upload that one.
Uses 'Fetch publish status' to track asynchronous video processing. Useful when you've queued multiple uploads and need to know what's ready. The MCP can't fix moderation failures—it only surfaces TikTok's decision. Status polling is manual; there's no webhook to auto-notify when processing completes.
Use-case deep-dives
When this MCP fits a solo creator or small agency workflow
A two-person agency managing TikTok for three local clients needs to post videos and check upload status without leaving their workspace. This MCP handles the full upload-publish cycle and lets you query stats or fetch profile info for reporting. OAuth2 means each client authenticates once, then the team can post on their behalf. The nine tools cover the basics—video upload, photo posts, publish finalization, and user stats—but stop short of advanced analytics or comment moderation. If your workflow is 'draft video, upload, confirm publish, pull weekly stats,' this MCP closes the loop. If you need sentiment analysis on comments or A/B testing across captions, you'll still open the TikTok app. For small-scale posting and light reporting, it's a clean fit.
Quick stats pull for weekly marketing standups
A four-person marketing team runs a monthly TikTok campaign and wants to pull follower counts and video performance into their Friday standup deck. The 'get user stats' and 'list videos' tools give you the raw numbers—views, likes, shares—without opening the TikTok dashboard. OAuth2 means the brand account stays secure; the team doesn't share passwords. The MCP won't give you demographic breakdowns or traffic sources, so if your standup needs 'which age group engaged most,' you're back in TikTok Analytics. But for a high-level pulse check—'did we hit 10k views this week?'—it's faster than tab-switching. Use this when your reporting cadence is weekly or slower and the metrics you need are top-line counts, not segmented insights.
When you need basic profile data for vetting creators
A talent agency vetting 20 micro-influencers for a product launch wants to confirm follower counts and video catalogs before signing contracts. The 'get user profile info' and 'list videos' tools let you pull bio details and recent posts in one call per creator. OAuth2 means each influencer authenticates their own account, so you're not asking for passwords. The MCP surfaces basic stats—username, follower count, video titles—but won't flag fake followers or engagement rate anomalies. If your vetting process is 'does this person have 5k+ followers and post twice a week,' the MCP speeds up data collection. If you need fraud detection or audience overlap analysis, you'll need a third-party analytics tool. For initial screening at scale, it cuts manual lookup time in half.
Frequently asked
What can the TikTok MCP do in Switchy?
The TikTok MCP lets your team post videos and photos, check upload status, and pull profile stats directly from Switchy. You can upload content via TikTok's Content Posting API, publish videos from your inbox, and fetch user info without leaving your workspace. It's built for teams managing TikTok accounts who want to automate posting workflows or pull analytics into their AI agents.
What OAuth scopes does the TikTok MCP request?
The MCP uses OAuth2 to authenticate with TikTok's API. You'll grant access to read your profile info, fetch video lists, and post content on your behalf. TikTok's Content Posting API requires creator-level permissions, so the account connecting must have posting rights. If you're on a brand account, make sure the user has admin or editor access before connecting.
Can the TikTok MCP schedule posts for later?
No. The MCP uploads and publishes immediately via TikTok's API. If you need scheduling, upload the video to your TikTok inbox using the upload tool, then publish it manually from TikTok's app when you're ready. The MCP can finalize and publish videos already in your inbox, but it doesn't hold content for future posting.
How does this compare to posting directly in TikTok?
The MCP trades TikTok's editing tools for automation. You lose in-app filters, effects, and the full caption editor, but you gain the ability to post from Switchy workflows, pull analytics into AI agents, and batch-check upload statuses. Use the MCP when you're automating content pipelines; use TikTok's app when you need creative control.
Who on my team should connect the TikTok MCP?
Connect it with the TikTok account that posts content. If you're a brand, that's usually a creator or editor account with posting permissions. Personal accounts work fine. Only one person needs to connect it; the whole workspace can then use the MCP to post or pull stats for that account.
