tokdata

tokdata is a small local bridge to the hosted HasData TikTok MCP server, which returns public TikTok data as JSON. It can look up a public profile from its handle, walk the videos a public account has posted page by page, read the comments on a public video (or the replies to one comment), and search TikTok by keyword for videos or for users.

The bridge keeps no TikTok data of its own. It answers the tool list locally, exactly as captured from the live endpoint, and forwards each tool call upstream, returning whatever comes back untouched. The captured surface is four read-only fetches over public content: nothing is posted, sent, or stored by any tool, and no tool in the surface carries contact details for any individual.

Tools

• hasdata_tiktok_profile_getTikTokProfile — fetch a public profile. Required: handle (the username, with or without the @). Returns nickname, biography, bio link, avatar URLs, verified and private flags, account creation time, and the followers, follows, likes, videos, and friends counts.

• hasdata_tiktok_posts_getTikTokPosts — fetch one page of an account's videos. Required: handle. Optional: nextPageToken to walk further back through the account's history. Each video comes back with its description, hashtags, mentions, like, comment, share, play, and collect counts, cover and playable URLs, music, duration, and timestamp.

• hasdata_tiktok_comments_getTikTokComments — fetch the comments on a public video. Required: videoId (the numeric id from the video's URL). Optional: commentId (return the replies to that comment instead of the top-level comments) and nextPageToken for paging. The first page of top-level comments also carries the video itself.

• hasdata_tiktok_search_getTikTokSearch — search by keyword. Required: keyword. Optional: type (video or user; videos are the default) and nextPageToken for paging. Video results carry the usual counts, URLs, music, and author; user results carry nickname, bio, avatar, verified flag, and follower count.

Configuration

• HASDATA_TIKTOK_MCP_URL (optional) — override the upstream endpoint. Defaults to https://mcp.hasdata.com/api/mcp?apis=tiktok — note the /api/ segment, which is part of the pinned URL. (The override hook is this rebuild's own labelled reconstruction.)

• HASDATA_API_KEY (optional) — when set, every upstream request carries an x-api-key: <key> header, for the caller's own HasData API key. When it is not set, no key header is sent. (The header name and the env name are pinned by the original's registry record; forwarding the key from this env var is a labelled reconstruction — the original surface was captured keyless.)

Forwarding mechanics

On the first tool call the client opens a streamable HTTP session upstream: a JSON-RPC initialize request (protocolVersion 2025-03-26, clientInfo name tokdata), then a notifications/initialized notification, then the tools/call request carrying the caller's arguments unchanged. When the upstream answers initialize with an Mcp-Session-Id header, that value rides on every later request of the session, which is reused for the life of the process. Replies may arrive as plain JSON or as server-sent events; both are read.

Successful upstream results pass through verbatim, including any isError flag the upstream sets. Failures — a JSON-RPC error, a non-2xx status, an unreadable response, or a request that cannot be completed — come back as an isError result whose text starts with tokdata error: (this rendering is this rebuild's own labelled reconstruction).

CLI

Each tool is also a subcommand taking one JSON argument string:

npx @reneturcios/tokdata hasdata_tiktok_profile_getTikTokProfile '{"handle":"tiktok"}'
npx @reneturcios/tokdata hasdata_tiktok_posts_getTikTokPosts '{"handle":"tiktok"}'
npx @reneturcios/tokdata hasdata_tiktok_comments_getTikTokComments '{"videoId":"0000000000000000000"}'
npx @reneturcios/tokdata hasdata_tiktok_search_getTikTokSearch '{"keyword":"dance","type":"video"}'
npx @reneturcios/tokdata --version

Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 on an isError result, 2 on a usage error.

MCP server

npx -y @reneturcios/tokdata mcp

MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tokdata": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/tokdata", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Docker

docker run -i ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/tokdata
docker run --rm ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/tokdata --version

The container's default command is mcp, so the first form is a stdio MCP server; any other arguments reach the CLI normally.

Development

npm install
npm run build
npm test
npm run dev

The test suite runs entirely against a stubbed JSON-RPC upstream — no live network calls.
