TikTok Ads MCP
# TikTok Ads MCP
A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with the TikTok Business API. This package provides a complete interface to access TikTok advertising campaigns, ad groups, ads, and generate detailed performance reports.
## Features
- **Read-Only TikTok Business API Integration**: Access all major TikTok advertising endpoints for data retrieval
- **6 Comprehensive Tools**: Business centers, ad accounts, campaigns, ad groups, ads, and reports
- **Advanced Filtering**: Powerful filtering options for all data retrieval operations
- **Multi-Advertiser Support**: Handle multiple advertiser accounts in a single request
- **Flexible Reporting**: Generate detailed performance reports with custom dimensions and metrics
- **Real-time Data**: Access live advertising data and performance metrics
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error handling and validation
- **Modular Architecture**: Clean, maintainable code structure
- **Safe Operations**: All tools are read-only and will not modify your campaigns or ad data
## Available Tools
1. **get_business_centers** - Retrieve business centers accessible by your access token
2. **get_authorized_ad_accounts** - Get all authorized advertiser accounts
3. **get_campaigns** - Retrieve campaigns with comprehensive filtering options
4. **get_ad_groups** - Get ad groups with advanced filtering and targeting options
5. **get_ads** - Retrieve ads with detailed creative and performance data
6. **get_reports** - Generate comprehensive performance reports and analytics
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.14.0 or higher
- TikTok Business API access
- Valid API credentials (app ID, secret, access token)
### Compatibility
Works with both `mcp` 1.x and 2.x. mcp 2.0 renamed `FastMCP` to `MCPServer`
(`mcp.server.mcpserver`) and turned `mcp.server.fastmcp` into a raising stub;
`server.py` imports via a try-v2-except-v1 shim, so no pin is required
(`mcp>=1.9.0`). Tests pass on 1.28.1 and 2.1.1.
## Quick Start
### Installation
1. **Download the TikTok Ads MCP**
- Click the green "Code" button at the top of the GitHub page
- Select "Download ZIP"
- Unzip the downloaded file to a location you can easily find (like your Documents folder)
2. **Alternatively, if you're familiar with Git:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ysntony/tiktok-ads-mcp.git
```
3. **Install Dependencies**
```bash
cd tiktok-ads-mcp
pip install -e .
```
### Configuration
1. **Set up environment variables** in your MCP client configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"tiktok-ads": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "tiktok_ads_mcp"],
"env": {
"TIKTOK_APP_ID": "your_app_id",
"TIKTOK_SECRET": "your_secret",
"TIKTOK_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_access_token"
}
}
}
}
```
2. **Required credentials**:
- `TIKTOK_APP_ID`: Your TikTok app ID
- `TIKTOK_SECRET`: Your TikTok app secret
- `TIKTOK_ACCESS_TOKEN`: Your access token
**How to get these credentials:**
1. Go to the [TikTok for Business Developers](https://ads.tiktok.com/marketing_api/) portal and log in.
2. Click "My Apps" and create a new app.
3. Select "Marketing API" as the service type.
4. In the app settings, enable permissions related to **Reading** and **Reporting** (e.g., `Ads Management`, `Reporting`).
5. Once approved, you will find your `App ID` and `Secret` in the app details.
6. Generate an `Access Token` using the "TikTok Marketing API Inspector" or via the OAuth flow documented in the portal.
### Usage
Once configured, you can use the MCP tools through your MCP client (like Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.):
- **Get business centers and advertiser accounts** to discover available accounts
- **Retrieve campaigns** with filtering by status, objective, or date range
- **Access ad groups** with advanced targeting and optimization settings
- **View ads** with detailed creative and performance data
- **Generate reports** with custom dimensions, metrics, and time ranges
- **Access real-time advertising data** and performance metrics

Scored across 24 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes (ad management, reporting, BC operations, etc.), but there are multiple reporting tools (range, aligned, GMV Max variants) that could cause confusion if descriptions are not carefully read.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with a '_tool' suffix (e.g., get_ads_tool, get_bc_balance_tool), making them predictable and easy to navigate.
24 tools is on the higher side but appropriate for covering TikTok Ads' extensive API (ad accounts, campaigns, ads, reports, BC, creative, trending). It's slightly above the ideal 3-15 but not excessive.
The server is heavily read-oriented, lacking create/update/delete operations for core entities like campaigns and ad groups. It also misses budget management and ad creation, leaving significant gaps for full lifecycle automation.
