TikTok Ads MCP Server

Get setup guide

get_setup_guide
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get step-by-step instructions to connect an AI app to the hosted TikTok Ads MCP server, including the exact menu path, command, or config snippet needed for setup.

Instructions

Get the step-by-step instructions to connect one AI app to the hosted TikTok Ads MCP server by AdKit at https://mcp.adkit.so/tiktok-ads. Use this when the user asks how to install, add or connect AdKit in a specific app. Returns Markdown with the exact menu path, command or config snippet. For what the hosted server can do once connected, use list_hosted_tools instead.

Tool call template

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds value beyond that by disclosing the return format (Markdown containing the exact menu path, command or config snippet), which matters since there is no output schema. It stops short of saying whether guides are live-generated or static and whether other tools beyond the named sibling cover adjacent questions.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Four short sentences in a deliberate order: what it does, when to call it, what it returns, and where to go instead. Every sentence carries distinct information and the purpose is front-loaded with zero filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a single-parameter read-only lookup with no output schema, the description covers purpose, trigger condition, return format and the nearest alternative. Nothing an agent needs in order to select or invoke it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% and the single 'app' parameter carries a full enum with its own description, so the schema already does the heavy lifting. The description reinforces the one-app-per-call scope ('connect one AI app', 'in a specific app') but adds no format or validation meaning beyond what the schema states.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb ('Get the step-by-step instructions') and a specific resource ('connect one AI app to the hosted TikTok Ads MCP server'), including the concrete server URL. It also names a sibling (list_hosted_tools) that covers a different intent, so an agent can distinguish the two without opening either schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives an explicit triggering condition ('when the user asks how to install, add or connect AdKit in a specific app') and an explicit hand-off to list_hosted_tools for capability questions. The when-to-use and the when-to-use-something-else are both stated rather than implied.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
