Integrations

  • Enables searching TikTok videos by hashtags and retrieving trending content, with video metadata extraction including URLs, descriptions, and engagement statistics (views, likes, shares, comments).

TikTok MCP Service

A Model Context Protocol service for TikTok video discovery and metadata extraction. This service provides a robust interface for searching TikTok videos by hashtags and retrieving trending content, with built-in anti-detection measures and error handling.

Features

  • Search videos by hashtags
  • Configurable video count per search (default: 30)
  • Anti-bot detection measures
  • Proxy support
  • Automatic API session management
  • Rate limiting and error handling
  • Health status monitoring

Configuration

The service uses environment variables for configuration. Create a .env file with:

ms_token=your_tiktok_ms_token # Optional but recommended to avoid bot detection TIKTOK_PROXY=your_proxy_url # Optional proxy configuration

Installation and Setup

# Install dependencies poetry install # Install browser automation dependencies poetry run python -m playwright install # Start the service poetry run python -m tiktok_mcp_service.main

Claude Desktop Integration

Once your service is running, you can integrate it with Claude Desktop. Since we're using Poetry for dependency management, make sure to run the MCP CLI commands through Poetry:

# Navigate to the project directory cd /path/to/tiktok-mcp-service # Install the service in Claude Desktop with Poetry in editable mode poetry run mcp install tiktok_mcp_service/main.py --with-editable . -f .env # Optional: Install with a custom name poetry run mcp install tiktok_mcp_service/main.py --name "TikTok Video Search" --with-editable . -f .env

After installation, the service will be available in Claude Desktop and will run using Poetry for proper dependency management.

API Endpoints

Health Check

  • GET /health - Check service health and API initialization status

TikTok API Limitations

Important Notice: TikTok has implemented strict anti-scraping measures that limit API access. As a result, this service provides the following functionality:

  1. Mock Data Mode: When TikTok blocks API access (which is currently the case), the service provides realistic-looking simulated results that are relevant to the search terms. This ensures that your Claude integration continues to function even when TikTok restricts access.
  2. API Access Attempts: The service still attempts to use the TikTok API first, but will quickly fall back to mock data if the API is unavailable or returns errors.
  3. Transparency: When mock data is provided, this is clearly indicated in the response via the transformations field, which includes a note explaining that simulated results are being shown.

This implementation ensures your service remains operational despite TikTok's anti-scraping measures.
